Your best friend is my best friend

Pet care experience

I think animals would describe me as being fun and caring and humans would say I’m friendly and trustworthy. I understand you need to know your pet is in safe hands and I can assure you that I’ll look after your four legged friend like I do my own. I live with my 14 year old Jack Russell (Bonnie), my 2 cats (9 year old Jimmy & 6 year old Freddie) and my partner (called Cat!). I’m flexible in the services I offer and will adjust to the needs of your dog or cat. Wether they require long walks, ball chasing and exploring or if they need a shorter walk and some love and attention I’m happy to accommodate. Likewise at your home or mine, I’ll happily have lots of play time and interaction with toys or if they like to snuggle and rest that is also fine. I’ll listen to special requests, needs or routines that your dog may have and will do my best to make sure they return happy and with a new friend. I’ve always loved and been around animals and in particular dogs. From a young age I was eager to look after and play with family, friends or neighbours pets and now I have my own little family. I’ve also had rabbits & guinea pigs in the past. I trained Bonnie myself and often get comments at the park/vets about how well trained she is. She’s also had a few operations over the years so I know how to give them the love and care they need on the road to recovery. Both of our cats are rescue cats and I actually rescued Jimmy myself. He wasn’t chipped or claimed and after 2 weeks of looking after him while we tried to find his owner he ended up staying with me & Bonnie. At 7am one Saturday I was woken up with a stray dog in a poor condition barking outside my bedroom window. After walking around with him for a couple of hours trying to find his owner I ended up homing him for the weekend until an animal shelter was able to collect him. Sadly he wasn’t chipped or claimed either but I called everyday to check how he was and to see if he had been re-homed. He was very close to joining the family! I stayed up all night with an old cat (Charlie) while she gave birth to kittens. We looked after them until we found loving homes and one of them (Tiggs) is with my sister. I also looked after 2 of Bonnies siblings (Rocky & Amor) for 6 months when they were puppies

We're so happy that Andrew helped us with taking care of our companion dog in few days of ours absence. He's lovely person, kind and professional, our dog was more than happy because of how he handled him and took care on the walk in the park and at home. Defenetly we'll use his help in future. Great job Andrew.

Andy looked after our rescue dog Millie. She’s still quite nervous and shy but he did a great job keeping her company and taking her for a walk. She was in high spirits when I got home and seemed to have had a lovely day getting all the strokes and treats.

Both of my dogs love Andy! He is attentive, caring and treats them as well as he does his own animals, I trust him completely with my pups. There are always lots of waggy tails when Andy is around!

Andy is everything you could want in a dog sitter or walker, he's a loving owner of Bonnie a Jack Russell and has a beautiful way with animals, not just dogs. Andy is a chap you can trust 100%, he will treat your pup like his own and you can be assured that they will be as spoiled by Andy as they would be by yourself. I could not recommend Andy enough, you wont regret letting him look after your furkids.

Information Andrew B. would like to know about your pet

What makes them happy? What are their general requirements and do they have any special requirements? Do they have a favourite toy or activity? Do they have a favourite park? Are they good with other dogs/cats?

A typical day

I have lots of parks/country parks nearby such as Crystal Palace, South Norwood and Kelsey so plenty of options for walking and exploring. If possible I like to get out to the countryside or a beach. I love playing ball, getting out their favourite toys and setting challenges for them Rewarding with treats and cuddles are always an option too!
