Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & flexible animal lover
Hi, I’m a massive dog, cat and animal lover. I grew up with various pets and have thankfully been trusted to look after friends’ and family’s cats and dogs since I was a teenager, as I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a gentle walk with a senior dog or a fun day out for a big, energetic pup, I'm comfortable tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. I work from home most days, so your dog or cat will have company and supervision throughout the day. I’m experienced with nervous pets, animals needing medication, and I always prioritise calm, attentive care to help them feel safe and settled. I only ever board one pet at a time. There are plenty of parks nearby for walks and playtime, and since I don’t have pets of my own, your pet will have my full attention while they’re here. To make sure I care for your pet exactly how you’d like, it’s helpful to know: - Your preferred vet or emergency contact - Any training/routines, or house rules you’d like me to keep consistent - How your dog behaves on and off lead, and whether they should mix with other animals - Any medications, triggers or quirks I should be aware of I’m always more than happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I understand how reassuring it is to see your pet relaxed and happy. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to chat before booking!

Ratings and reviews
Andrea was amazing with Joca. He looked after him for a week while I was away travelling, and from the beginning I felt completely comfortable leaving Joca in his care. He was professional, friendly, organised, and always very attentive to Joca’s needs. One thing that really stood out to me was how much effort he made to connect with Joca. He even learned a few words in Portuguese to communicate with him better, which I thought was such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. I really appreciated the updates and the care he gave during the week. Joca was clearly very happy with him, and I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to look after their dog.
Andrea is an excellent dog sitter and has helped me as well as my friends multiple times (sometimes very last minute too!). He is a trustworthy and caring person and really takes pride in giving the best to the dogs he is caring for! You won’t regret choosing him as your dog sitter!
Andrea took care of my dog for 2 weeks for which I am extremely grateful. He was communicative throughout, sending regular updates and pictures. He asked lots of questions beforehand about what rules my dog is used to which made me feel at ease. An unexpected bath was also required (no easy feat as my dog is quite large) but Andrea rose to the occasion. Cannot recommend Andrea enough!
Andrea is great with pets – he’s calm and patient, while also really fun and energetic. He’s well experienced and intuitive and it is so easy to trust him with my pets. He really cares for animals and makes sure they are happy and well looked after. I genuinely could not recommend him more! Me ( and my pets) look forward to the next opportunity spent with Andrea :)

Schedule
I work from home regularly (and I'm always working from home when boarding pets), and I work out most mornings or at least start the day with a walk. I enjoy taking dogs out for regular walks, playing with them and talking to them. My schedule allows me the flexibility of both short and long walks depending on your dog's needs :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a flat with my partner (who grew up with, and also loves dogs), with several gardens around us and Primrose Hill/Regent's Park a 10 minute walk away.
A typical day
Typical days will start with a walk, followed by breakfast and cuddles (if your dog enjoys it). I love playing games with dogs like throwing a ball. I’ll make sure they have fun, are stimulated and get the exercise they need :)
