Relax, I've got it covered.
Pet care experience
Your dog's safety and happiness (in that order;-) are my priorities while you're away. I've taken two of my own dogs through professional trainings, fostered/rehabilitated ~15 dogs and puppies in various stages of health until they were ready to find their forever families. Until June of 2020 (covid layoff) I was a corporate hack in the STM publishing world. When making an inquiry please note: 1. The rates here are for the care of housetrained, generally healthy animals. Im happy to care for sick doggies but leys talk first. Cats are on a case by case basis. 2. Meet & Greet's at your home and pre-booking visits to get keys, instructions, etc. are no problem, they're charged at $25 which is the 30 min dog-walk rate. 3. One-night housesitting is charged at $100 for first time clients. 4. Please Include the time of day (hour:minute) you want service to begin and end. This can always be adjusted.
Reviews
Brady was well cared for while we were on a 12 day Trip. Thank you Andrew!
Andrew cared for our 7-month puppy and cat while we were out of town. Our pup has some confidence issues, but Andrew took the time to learn how we have been working through building his confidence (slow and steady, and lots of treats). From the daily updates we received, Andrew really seemed to take our approach to heart. He sent us messages letting us know how he did with other dogs, how he was on recall, and even some of the sillier moments. As fur-parents, we have taken on the anxieties of our animals, and Andrew helped keep our mind at ease as we were away. Plus, he took some great pictures of their adventures! Unfortunately for Andrew, the cat escaped while in his care (which she has done to us on several occasions prior), and Andrew put great care and energy into bringing her home safely, even putting up with late night phone calls and texts from us. She returned before we did, and we are so grateful for his help. The only downside of Andrew’s stay is that our puppy doesn’t understand why we can’t take him to the beach for over an hour every morning now that we are back! The house was clean upon our return, the mail brought in, and the trash cans taken out.
Andrew was great at taking care of our 1 year old lab, who is very needy. Sunny Boy has a pretty rigid routine and Andrew followed everything perfectly. I will definitely use him again. Patty
So good to come home to the house being in better shape than when we left and the dogs to be heathy and happy. Dare I say Andrew cared for them so well that they were disappointed when we walked through the door?

I don't accept jobs with instructions that result in an animal being crated for more than ~2 hours per day. Otherwise, I can work with pretty much anything else so please feel free to ask.
Information Andrew G. would like to know about your pet
I like to know any canine criminal activity on their rap sheet… counter surfing, unwanted amorous advances, evasion of capture/refusal to comply with "come!", escaping, influencing the judge with cuteness during sentencing, et cetera.
A typical day
There really isn't a typical day since each day changes depending on the requirements of the client and their pets. Twenty five words are required for this field.
