About: I have taken care of various fur babies for over 2 years, including 1 that is mine full-time. I promise above all to take care of your fur baby so that he/she feels safe and comfortable. I am currently a student so besides school I have a free schedule to take properly take care of your fur babies. I am also available weekends and sometimes even same-day! I have 2 fur babies super friendly and always wanting to play. They can be inside and free and can also be outside and free, we have a very secure gate in the front and back. I have lots of toys and activities to keep them busy or I also have beds if they feel they ever need a rest.
17. Andy G.
“Andy is a dog person. He immediately made me and my dog feel at ease. My dog is a bit shy and many people are intimidated by her because of her breed, but Andy's gentle approach allowed my dog to take to him right away. I really appreciated being given frequent updates and reassurance, along with photos. I would not hesitate to take my dog back to Andy for any type of care for my dog. We are both very happy with the service we were provided!”
