Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with trees on all sides. I live across the street from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field which is where I like to walk and play fetch and other games with dogs. I have been given carte blanche by the workers there as I have lived here for so many years so I can come and go as I please without any interference.

Pets are gifts that fit all sizes

Pet care experience

I have 20+ years of caring for animals of all types. My own dog was unfortunately allergic to grass and almost every type of food. He needed to receive weekly injections in the nape of his neck which I would administer as well as following his prescription protocols to the tee. As the general manager of several different Petcos and PetSmart's, I have amassed quite a bit of knowledge about many animals, especially dogs. I am a nutrition specialist, have experience in grooming, am knowledgeable of natural and medicinal ways to calm hyperactivity, and have extensive experience in many different types of training from proper walking, issuing commands, house breaking, interacting with other dogs, and multiple other aspects of whatever is necessary. If I cannot answer your questions, the trustworthy contacts I have amassed throughout my tenure at these establishments would be more than happy to help with their vast wealth of information. I have also had the unpleasant experience of helping dogs who are experiencing life threatening health complications and know what I am capable of, an also when it is time to seek medical attention. All credentials aside, I truly do love and appreciate animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet yours!

Our dog seemed very comfortable with Andrew. We got a bunch of pictures to see how he was doing. Andrew was also very accommodating when it came time to pick merlin up. Definitely recommend.

Andrew was great! Peppa came back so happy (and tired). Andrew sent us updates and pictures the whole time and we will definitely be using him again for boarding.

Andrew did a good job. Easy to communicate with, flexible, and my dog seemed to like him very much. She came back smelling nice and fresh too! Definitely recommend.
