About Andrea

Hey there 🌸🐶

I'm a zoologist and ethologist (animal behaviourist). During the last 13 years I have studied and worked with animals both wild and domesticated. During my Masters degree I specialised in Animal Behaviour with a major focus on dogs. I became involved in dog training during a project at uni and finally got to put it all into practice once my dog, Rudi, came into my life back in 2017.

I have been a dog sitter and dog walker for over 7 years now and I have created amazing memories with my clients (both dogs and humans). For more reviews, you can also refer to reviews from my time in Sweden on another app/website called Rover (link below), I've attached a screenshot on my photos too.

My dog and I have been heavily involved in dog sports, general obedience and balance training. My experience allows me to also confidently offer fun training sessions for your dog: general obedience, fun games for enrichment, or even balance training as I have a lot of equipment (only healthy dogs for this service as professional vet services are required for dogs with injuries, joint issues, etc.). I only use positive reinforcement techniques. Feel free to ask any questions!

✨DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES✨

🐕 DOG WALKING: Around your home in either a specified area by the owner and/or I will drive your dog to a fun location for extra mental stimulation (e.g. park, beach, river, dog park, etc). I never walk dogs off leash unless taken to a fenced area under the owner's request. The length of the walk will depend on the dog's energy level, age, and health but will be up to 1 hour from pick up to drop off. If it’s too hot outside or your dog requires a shorter walk I can do other activities the rest of the time (e.g. enriching games such as puzzles, play, cuddles, whatever the dog enjoys). If your dog requires longer than 1 hour walk, please contact me for further details.

NOTE: I do not offer walking services to heavy pullers nor dogs who don’t get along well with other dogs as my own dog will be tagging along to all walks.

🧸 DAY CARE: Unfortunately I am not able to host puppies but adult toilet trained dogs are welcome after a proper meet and greet with my dog.

🏡 HOME VISITS: Include pet feeding, a short walk, play, watering plants and trash disposal if required. Duration: 40 min. Note: This service will be very limited in June 2024.

🚗 TRANSPORT: A travel fee may apply depending on your location. ...
