Hi, I'm Andrea
Wanderlust & Wags grew from a fairly simple idea. Many of my dog-sitting clients were heading off on holiday, and I realised I could help with both sides of their plans — arranging the trip and looking after the dogs they leave behind.
For me, going away should be something you can look forward to, without worrying about what’s happening at home. Whether I’m helping you choose where to go or looking after your dogs while you’re away, the aim is the same — to make things feel straightforward and give you one less thing to think about.
Every business has a story.
Mine begins with two very special dogs
Kizzie & Bella
My girls were the inspiration behind Wanderlust & Wags, and they’ll always be part of its story.
Kizzie and Bella are the reason the dog-sitting side of the business means so much to me, and they’re a big part of why I wanted Wanderlust & Wags to bring travel and dogs together.
They’re part of the story behind the name, the idea behind the business and the way I approach looking after other people’s dogs.
Professional Qualifications & Standards
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always important to me. As part of my professional development, I’ve completed accredited Canine First Aid training, helping me recognise emergencies, provide appropriate first aid and support your dog until veterinary treatment is available.
How I Work
Whether I’m helping you plan a holiday or looking after your dog while you’re away, I like to keep things personal, straightforward and well organised. I take the time to understand what you need, explain things clearly and make sure you know what to expect.
Personal
I take the time to understand what matters to you, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach
Straightforward
I’ll keep things clear and practical, so you know where you stand without unnecessary fuss.
Reliable
Once we’ve agreed what you need, I’ll do my part to make sure everything is properly organised and followed through.
Based on the Fylde Coast
I provide dog sitting for owners across the local area, including Blackpool, Wyre and the Ribble Valley.
And then there’s the travel side...
Alongside dog sitting, I’m also a travel planner with Jamie Wake Travel, helping clients plan and book their holidays from start to finish.
