Creating Peace Of Mind🐕🦺❤️
Hello, Pet Parents! I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even fish. Growing up surrounded by animals, I naturally became the trusted pet sitter for family and friends whenever they were away. Originally from South Africa, I moved to the UK three years ago and turned my passion for animals into a full-time role. I now live in Bordon, Hampshire, where I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home-from-home experience for your pets. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves individual attention. That’s why I only care for one dog at a time, ensuring they receive plenty of love, companionship, and personalised care. The only exception is for dogs from the same family, and I am happy to welcome siblings together so they can stay with a familiar companion. I am patient, trustworthy, energetic, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. As I am home throughout the week, your dog will never be left feeling lonely and will enjoy lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Although I don’t have a garden, I am fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful parks, woodland walks, and dog-friendly outdoor spaces in and around Bordon. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and fresh air, with walks tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priority. I can’t wait to meet your best friend!

Mandi is such a fantastic dog whisperer! She went so far above and beyond for our dog Summer, who came back happy, better trained and smelling beautiful! This isn’t just work to Mandi, she very clearly adores dogs and understands them intimately. She was also a very welcoming host to me and my children, nothing was rushed and she took the time to know Summer and then to transfer care back to us - showing us her new tricks, giving us recommendations and even sharing a song about Summer! The (p)updates were also remarkable. So much detail about Summer’s fun days, the treats and exercise she’d had, new friends she had made, etc. all presented in such a fun way made it an absolute delight. She melted away all of my worries about leaving our precious pet instantly, and I have no doubt Summer will be back to see Mandi again soon! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! So far above my expectations, I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! My children dubbed her the Fairy Dogmother!
So happy with mandi and her care of our old boy Billy. We loved her daily updates and photos as did the whole family. Our mind was put at rest and he has been truly spoilt . We will have no qualms about using her again. Thanks so much Mandi x
We are very grateful for Mandi looking after our sprocker Spaniel for a week. She took an excellent care of our dog and sent us daily updates, which we were looking forward to every day. Our dog had a great time and we hope to be able to ask Mandi in the future again.
Another wonder stay for Archie with Mandy. It is lovely to receive his daily diary updates, videos, songs, and poems about his adventures, and to know that he is safe and cared for, given lots of attention and stimulation, and even returning home slightly better trained. We cannot recommend Mandi highly enough, thank you. xxx
We are indebted to Mandi for caring for Archie for a week whilst we were skiing over Christmas. He had stayed with her before for two trial nights, and clearly loved all his stays as he races inside to see Mandi when we arrive, and he is very happy to see us, but in no rush to depart when we collect him. During his stay, as the only guest, he had lots and lots of attention from Mandi and her husband as they took him out on lots of walking adventures and also gave him lots of mental stimulus with toys, garden games, training, lick matts, new foods to try etc. Mandi also gave us lots of valuable feedback and ideas for our life at home, and his future stays with her (Archie is a rescue that we have had for just 2 1/2 months, so we are still in-training and learning with him). Mandi's kindness was truly exceptional in every respect, especially as Archie has some quirks and is quite an active dog, and Christmas is a busy time for everyone (plus a very sad event made it harder), yet we still received lots of amazing videos and photos each day, a detailed daily diary update, and even poems celebrating the joys of his stay :-). When we collected him he had been bathed, blow-dried and brushed and all his towels and raincoats etc washed too - quite a challenge with his spaniel affinity for mud. He also had a new toy, his Father Christmas - a charming and thoughtful gift from Mandi and her husband. We cannot thank them enough: the peace-of-mind of knowing Archie was happy and cared for so well made our trip perfect, and we would not hesitate to recommend Mandi to anyone else using Rover. Thank you.
Thank you Mandi for providing the best care for our two dogs. We loved the photo updates and the girls have come home happy and rested. They’ll definitely be back soon for more cuddles! 🐩 🐩

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority—I make sure my home and surrounding areas are pet-friendly, and your pet will always be secure on a leash during walks and outings.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your fur baby physically and mentally by playing ball, go find it , find the treat, and various games to bond at first is a must. Time for a walk to discover new smells and surroundings in the beautiful local parks is a must. A treat here and there is with some fresh cold water to rehydrate. Then it’s back home to relax and have a nap, listening to calming dog music to help your fur baby sleep. After a good nap it’s time to go outside for a toilet break and then it’s playtime with catching bubbles with my dog friendly bacon flavoured bubbles and including one of my favourite toys (Tug rope) to play a bit of tug of war. Learning toy names and new commands.
