Walks, Stays & Play Whist You're Away!
I found my first stray dog, Fluffy, a standard poodle, when I was just 8 years old. I slept in his bed with him, made him breakfast every morning and cried when my father brought him back from the groomers for the first time; he was sporting the traditional 'poodle' cut and I thought he'd been swapped out! Later in life, I brought home two golden retrievers as a gift for my daughter and whilst creating some amazing memories with Zak and Oliver, I'd inadvertently lit a spark in her which I would discover later on.. Now I have Keith Woodstock; he'll be 14 in April of this year (2025). He has been my motivation and companion since my children left home. He's amazing with other dogs, in fact a friend of mine adopts greyhounds and he's taught many how to 'dog'! Ginger, Ned and Pam are my granddoggos and we spend lots of time with them. I run a small business with my daughter (part-time) and we attend many events throughout the year from Crufts to Goodwoof! I live in Roundhay and the park is just a 15 minute walk from my house. Needless to say, I am the classic 'dog person', be it puppies or seniors, large or small, I love them all.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Oaklee, our very excitable 6 month old Vizsla stayed with Andi & Keith for 3 nights and seems to have loved her time there. We was invited to meet both Andi and Keith before hand and to see how Oaklee was in there environment and how they got on together. When speaking to Andi it was easy to see she knew how stuff about dogs and out is at ease straight away. Oaklee was well cared for and we received loads of pictures and updates about there adventures and we would definitely recommend Andi and look to use her again in The future.

Rufus had a fantastic time with Andi. I always receive lots of photos and videos and he comes home missing it!
Andi was amazing at looking after our dog, Ralph, while we were away on holiday. During the heatwave, she took great care to keep him comfortable, making sure he had early morning walks and plenty of lovely cold treats to help him stay cool. She kept us updated throughout with photos and messages about all his activities, which gave us real peace of mind. I would highly recommend Andi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her to look after Ralph again whenever we travel.
Andrea was absolutely amazing with our spaniel Lily! We had daily updates and Lily came home exhausted after clearly a fun filled week of playing and walking! Her dog Keith is beautiful and so easily adaptable. I’m not convinced Lily was happy to come home. Will 100% be using Andrea again... ❤️
Calendar and availability
Schedule
When not at events, I am available all weekdays and weekends for walking, sitting and boarding; all day, everyday! I think I've come to the realisation that, like many, I prefer dogs to (some) people, so they will always have my undivided care, love and attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a lovely private, fully-enclosed garden with a padlocked gate. My interior space is warm, cosy and I have lots of toys to play with and treats for being a good boy or girl! I love to interact with them and have puzzles and games I like to play, as well as having a well-earned cuddle on the sofa after a big walk or a snooze in bed. Space on my bed is limited so first come first served!!

A typical day
Aside from our standard, daily park walk, we love to venture further out sometimes and visit other parks and countryside. We don't usually 'street walk', but occasionally we might pop in to pick up a coffee and a pup cup. Keith sometimes likes to play ball and stick fetch and he loves his 'sock treats' (I hide treats in old socks and tie them up tightly) and puzzles. He likes to play tug sometimes too and I often play hide and seek in the woods with him. All the family dogs enjoy the same kind of fun and when at my daughter's we love to play 'chase me'! I do still like to train for a few minutes too, whether that's walking to heel, wait, stay, watch me, stop and paw. I can find fun in everything we do!
