Hi there, my name is Andrea or Andi, I was brought up in South Africa and loved every minute of the sunshine and diverse wildlife. My favourite thing about living in South Africa was all the animals and being able to live in big houses with plenty of space for me and my pets (primarily all of my 3 dogs and 2 cats with the occasional pet bunny or chicken). I moved over to England five years ago and after enjoying the city life with my boyfriend, we decided to move to lovely Surrey with a pup of our own. I have always been surrounded by pets my whole life, my 2 dogs in South Africa both had their own puppies. I looked after the mother and the puppies throughout this process. I am well equipped to take care of any pet you may have! Whether that involves feeding them, cleaning them or cleaning after them (I realise many may not be potty trained as of yet), dispensing medication or even just providing them with the best cuddles while their owners might be away on holiday. Why do I love pets so much? So many reasons but mostly because they instantly bring a smile to your face and their loyalty is second to none. If you're ever having a bad day, you can always count on them to cheer you up.They also make me feel at home! :) I have looked after numerous dogs and cats in my time here in London and now have a few regulars. I do this for free or very little as my main objective is to just be around animals as much as I was in South Africa. I am able to provide references for all the clients I have had in past 5 years while living here. Lastly I have also done volunteer work at the South African RSPCA for over 4 years and my responsibilities included cleaning the cages, feeding the animals and most importantly giving them tons of love and cuddles! I currently now work for The Royal Parks and love the fact that my work extends into my passion for nature and animals. Due to being busy with work and having my own doggy mom duties, I can sadly only accept new bookings that have a travel time to get to of 20 minutes or less.
