Get to know your sitter
Hi, I’m Alister. I’ve been petsitting for over 5 years, caring for animals of all kinds - from week-old puppies to senior dogs and cats, plus goats, birds, fish, and more.
I'm currently based in the UK and accepting overnight in-home pet sitting bookings nationwide until the end of October 2026. I operate seasonally, returning to Canada in the spring each year, which allows me to build long-term relationships with clients in both countries.
Many pet owners tell me I have a grounding, calming presence around their animals, with some commenting that their pets warmed to me more quickly than they expected or had with previous sitters. I provide routine, love, play, and medication as needed, all while staying in your home so your pets can enjoy the comfort and consistency of the environment they know best. Working remotely allows me to dedicate genuine time and attention to the animals and homes I care for, and I'm also happy to care for plants and help with general household tasks while you're away.
For added peace of mind, I am DBS checked and fully insured for all UK pet sitting bookings.
Originally from the UK, I spent four years living in Vancouver before returning to a seasonal schedule between the UK and Canada. Many of my clients book repeat sits year after year, allowing me to build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners through trust, reliability, and consistent care.
Our Ethos
At Sol Guardians, I believe in care that goes beyond routine. I see animals as equals - sentient beings deserving love, respect, and attention.
Just as I nurture and protect pets in their homes, my mission is to act with integrity and care, strengthening pets, people, and communities through thoughtful action.
I envision a world where responsibility, respect, and harmony guide how we interact with animals, people, and the environment. All of my work is rooted in service, stewardship, and conscious attention, whether it’s keeping your pets safe and happy or fostering a world where guardianship is lived with integrity.
