Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional dog handler offering bespoke services
Puppy training - successfully trained my own, leading to assitsting training many others, including stubborn hounds and terriers! I'm currently assisting with a 13 week old Ridgeback. I have also had a lot of experience, and some success, with handling nervous dogs
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Andre was amazing - welcoming when we first went to see his place with Loki, tolerant when we were held up on collection, and warm throughout. Loki had an amazing time despite it being the record heatwave - the first time he’s looked a little disappointed to be coming back home. Andre’s garden is vast and beautifully set away from the beaten track so there’s room for the dogs to run and breathe. Andre even made a makeshift pool to help Loki cool in the summer sun. Would highly recommend and have already rebooked!
My dog Lola was incredibly well looked after over the weekend she stayed with Andre, so much so I’m not too sure she was bothered about coming home! Andre was brilliant, responded to message very quickly and I felt confident my dog was in good hands whilst I was away. Would definitely book with Andre again and would recommend!
Looked after Tigi really well.
Thank you Andre for taking such wonderful care of our girls whilst we were on holiday! It was a pleasure communicating with you and I felt totally relaxed that the dogs were in your care.
Andre was superb with my bulldog Lola. So good in fact I don’t think she wanted to come back home with me 🤣 thanks very much Andre 🤝
Andre has been absolutely amazing and so accommodating. Doug clearly had a fantastic time on his holiday and enjoyed playing with the other guests. Can't thank Andre enough who helped us out having been let down by someone else!

Schedule
It's my passion and my career, so my routine is structured according to the number of dogs I'm looking after, and their various individual needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The service offered is tailored to the individual needs of the dog. My approach to dogs is that I'm strict and consistent, whilst playful, kind and loving - my dogs love this. I have various beds dotted around the house, but can use a crate if preferred, I have a secured extensive garden, surrounded by working farms in the heart of Somerset. Due to the livestock, dogs are kept on a lead for all walks, but have plenty of room to play in the garden, where they are supervised more than they'd care to be!
A typical day
I have a large, fenced garden surrounded by farmland and woods as well as access to a private orchard. My house is remote; other dogs do walk around here, but we are more likely to bump into a cow, sheep or goat!
