Highlights
Pet care experience
Conscientious Canine(and cat!) Care
I have lots of experience of looking after dogs for friends, family and Rover clients. I have cared for many different breeds, ranging from Alaskan Malamutes and German Shepherds, to Labradors and Rhodesian Ridgebacks! As well as dog sitting through Rover, I also have experience of volunteering at a local dog shelter. I like the variety of looking after different dog breeds, and they all have their unique characters and personalities. I have experience of looking after elderly dogs, as well as dogs with separation anxiety, reactive dogs and dogs who pull a lot on the lead during walks. I do look after cats as well as long as they are indoor cats, but unfortunately the market for cat-sitting isn't nearly as big! I'm always open to more cat-sitting requests though. Some other animals I have looked after via Rover include guinea pigs, chickens and a bearded dragon! I'm happy to take on long pet-sitting jobs- I have completed several 1 week and 2 week jobs so far. I have always liked animals, and I have experience of owning and caring for many small pets- these include rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs and fish. I am someone who is very conscientious, and always likes to do a thorough job. When I meet dog owners I will always make written notes of all their requirements(feeding schedule, walk times/lengths, sleeping routine etc) and make sure they are followed daily. I am mature and responsible, and as well as being a great dog-sitter I like to think I make a good house sitter too! I will keep the place tidy, take in deliveries, be sensible with energy usage, wash the dishes, water your plants, put the bins out, and collect your post(as well as making sure it's kept safely out of reach from your pets!)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to currently offer boarding, but can pet sit at your house. I am happy to take dogs for a daily longer walk if required, or 2 shorter walks if preferred. I will always keep dogs on their leads for the duration of the walk to ensure their safety.
Ratings and reviews
Andrew was great with Reggie. Reg is loud and boisterous with new people but Andrew was so good and patient. Looked after my boy and communication was great. Some reassuring photos throughout. Left the house spotless too. Have already booked again for our next trip!
Andrew delivers a great pet sitting service. He stayed overnight to look after my dog and two housecats. He sent me pictures showing how settled they all were. I had no doubts about leaving Andrew in charge, he is lovely, caring and trustworthy. He respected my home and carried out the feeding and walking as requested. I will definitely use Andrew again and would 100% recommend him. Thank you for a great service and allowing me to enjoy my daughters wedding without having to worry about our pets.
Outstanding dog sitter and truly exceptional care Andrew was reliable, calm, and clearly experienced. He kept us updated throughout, paid attention to all her needs and treated her with genuine affection. When we came back, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored her time with him.It’s such a relief to find someone who not only understands bulldogs, but truly connects with them. Andrew gave us complete peace of mind, and Chloe absolutely loved him.We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. We have already booked Andrew for next sitting!
Andrew is lovely, sent pics and kept me updated ☺️ would use again!
Our boy is prone to seizures and had one while Andrew was looking after him for the very first time. He handled it professionally and with care, and for that we can’t recommend him highly enough!
Another fantastic sit from Andrew. He updated us with photos and messages which was reassuring. Our dog B really took to him and he really goes over and above. We will definitely be booking with him again.
