Highlights
Pet care experience
Small Lap Dogs to Arctic Sled Dogs
I offer a highly versatile, confident, and reliable approach to pet care. My experience spans the entire spectrum of the canine world, meaning your dog—no matter their size or personality—will be in expert hands. ❄️ Arctic Sled Dog & Pack Experience I have unique, hands-on experience managing a pack of working Huskies during a sledding expedition in the Arctic Circle of Sweden. This involved looking after my own team and assisting with the wider pack in extreme conditions—handling everything from feeding and harness management to understanding complex pack dynamics and high-energy behavior. 🏡 Gentle Care for Smaller Breeds While I'm entirely confident with large, high-energy breeds, I am equally experienced in providing the gentle, attentive care required for smaller dogs. I have extensive experience looking after two small dogs, meaning I completely understand the finer details of small-dog care—from keeping a watchful eye on them around bigger dogs to managing their specific exercise routines and making sure they feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly pampered. Whether your dog needs a high-energy handler who can match their stamina, or a calm, comforting companion for cuddles and structured routines, I adapt perfectly to what they need.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I treat their property and their routine with the utmost respect, ensuring doors are locked, feeding schedules are met precisely, and the environment remains calm. On walks, my background as a fitness professional means I am alert, physically strong enough to handle large or pulling dogs safely on a lead, and fully focused on keeping your dog secure and happy at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Andy was fantastic with our sausage dog, Fritz! Dachshunds can sometimes be a bit stubborn and wary of new people, but Andy completely won him over straight away. He made sure Fritz got plenty of exercise on his walks, kept a close eye on him, and genuinely treated him like family. Fritz came home happy, relaxed, and thoroughly spoiled. I can't recommend Andy enough
Andy was absolutely incredible with our Border Collie cross, Rocky. Because of his breed, Rocky has endless energy and needs a lot of exercise to keep him happy, but Andy didn’t blink an eye. With his background, Andy had the perfect stamina for Rocky’s long walks and really kept him mentally it was so reassuring to know he was in such capable, active hands. We will definitely be regular clients

Schedule
As a part-time personal trainer, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to your pets. Because fitness is my job, I have the stamina and energy for long, active walks, making me the perfect fit for high-energy dogs who love to explore and burn off energy! I can easily structure my day around your dog's specific routine, feeding times, and exercise needs.
