Why your pet will love Andrea
Animals have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember, and for the past 10 years I’ve turned that into hands-on pet care for families around Colchester. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the small things—who’s eating a little slower, who wants an extra minute to sniff every hedge, who settles best with a familiar routine.
What makes my care feel easy for you is how practical I am about the details. I offer house sitting, home visits, and dog walking, and I’ve got a vehicle so I can get to you on time and handle longer walks or last-minute changes without stress. I also send photo updates as we go, so you can actually see how your pet is doing rather than just wondering.
Because I have professional pet care experience, I’m comfortable with the real-life stuff that comes with looking after animals, especially medication. If your dog or cat needs pills, drops, or a set schedule, I’m careful about timing and I keep notes so nothing gets missed. When I’m house sitting, I aim to keep your home and your pet’s routine feeling normal—meals, walks, play, and quiet time in the right rhythm.

We couldn't be happier with Andrea's care for our dog, Chester. From the very start, her communication was fantastic—she kept us updated with frequent, adorable photos, so we could see how happy Chester was. We returned to a joyful dog, and we’ll absolutely be using Andrea again. Highly recommended to any dog parent!
This was our first time leaving our 2 miniature Dachshunds with a dog sitter. Andrea put our minds to rest. She is very professional, and she couldn't do enough for our dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates which was reassuring. We will definitely be leaving them with Andrea again. 😍
Andrea was very helpful in answering all my queries and putting my mind at rest. Andrea also provided a useful checklist of things to bring with us for my dogs stay. Andrea sent regular texts and photos. It's the first time of using a sitter and will certainly use Andrea again without hesitation. No more kennels for my dog.
Andrea was absolutely AMAZING. She is a lady that adores dogs and our Simba was so happy. Andrea kept me informed and sent lovely many pictures and videos of Simba. I could tell that they developed a good relationship. She introduced Simba to other dogs (after my consent) and it was a great experience. I will certainly ask Andrea to look after Simba again in the future. Thank you Andrea! Xxx
My best reference was to see how my Boston Terrier, Chico greeted Andrea and her partner, and they him, when we had to return a week later to collect his food, mistakenly sent to them! Amazing. That says it all. He was returned to me after 3 weeks, happy, healthy and extremely fit with 4 walks a day! Andrea kept in touch with lovely photos. We have no hesitation at all in recommending Andrea and her partner. from Linda and 🐾Chico🐾
Andrea looked after our American bulldog for 2 weeks. I was nervous as I’d never left her before but Andrea put me at ease from the moment I made the booking. Whilst I was away I received messages and pictures to let me know how she settled in and she was so happy! So happy I’ve found such lovely people, I would definitely use again. Thank you
