Pet care experience

Pet loving retired professional

I’m now a retired medic & work some hours around being a medic and PT however I also now live more between Thailand & UK. Basically when in UK I plan my own work & days so very flexible. NON SMOKER & I have owned & loved all types of rescue dogs ever since I was married in 1998. I can’t reiterate enough how much I love dogs & cats & can’t wait to sit for people. I now spend a lot of time in Thailand and will update calendars accordingly but if I’m free I still look after pets as normal and enjoy the experiences with them although I accept more short term stays as opposed to longer due to the other commitments I also have. Feel free to message me and we can go from there.

Andreas was great and our dog took to him immediately. Lots of walks and fussing not to mention treats. Sent us photos of our boy on his walks. Andreas looked after our home too which was a great comfort to us whilst we were away. We'll certainly use him again for house and dog sitting in our home. Highly recommended.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 16, 2023

Andreas was a great choice for a dog sitter. He took the booking last minute. We were on holiday and need someone to look after Harvey while we went on a day trip. Great communication leading up to the booking and kept well informed during the stay would definitely recommend and can't thank him enough for today

We got regular updates and he also did us a massive favour and brought Murphy out to our wedding reception for an hour which we really appreciated. Murphy seemed to really enjoy his stay and seemed very happy with Andreas so I would definitely recommend. Communication with organising the stay was really good as well which helped give us confidence when booking.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is safe and garden is enclosed with fence. Pets have the run of anywhere downstairs and can only go upstairs when it’s bedtime. During the day apart from normal walks around the area we willl head to Starbucks for doggy coffee and cream treats. If weather permits we might go to the river or sea.

A typical day

Fun times indoors or outdoors and trips to the beach, parks anything that keeps the dog’s engaged and interactive with me and they are having fun.
