Welcome to the home of Custom Canine Care, who exist to provide excellent personalised services for you, your dogs and your other household pets. My name is Alison, and I live in Benton on the eastern edge of Newcastle. This is within easy walking distance of Benton Quarry Park, the Rising Sun Country Park and miles of off road wagon ways. I am 50 years old and have shared all but the last few years with a succession of wonderful canine friends, two cats and a variety of small animals. My business combines my passion for dogs with 25 years of working in the healthcare and service sector (nursing and respite care) and my desire is to provide an easily modified service designed (with your input) to best suit your specific requirements.

I am currently undertaking a Level 3 diploma in Canine Studies and the Intermediate Award in canine behaviour and training with Think Dog! to better equip myself to provide you with professional support in terms of nutrition, health care, first aid and behavioural issues. However, my own experience spans involvement in raising litters, care throughout all stages of life, training and exhibition, with a special interest in understanding natural behaviours — dogs as dogs.

Prior to setting up Custom Canine Care I have been boarding small animals for many years, have provided holiday care for friends and family's dogs and also 'house-sit' regularly while people are taking a break. I can offer numerous references and testimonials.

I am:

• Inspected and licensed by North Tyneside Council as a home boarding facility.
• A member of the Nationwide Associates of Registered Petsitters
• Qualified with the NarpsUK pet sitting and dog walking business course
• CRB (police) checked.
• Fully insured to care for your pets.
