Pet care experience
I've raised dogs since I was a child. Our last dog, Brady, passed away this year at the age of 18 and although we will probably adopt a new pet at some point, short term care of dogs seems like a better fit for our lifestyle at the moment plus we aren't ready to "replace" Brady yet. Except for running basic errands, I will be home with your pet almost 24/7 and we have 2 daughters (ages 11 and 13) who are really looking forward to playing with new dogs on a regular basis.
Reviews
Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.
Andrew and his family were AMAZING with our Laila! Our instructions (for medications, feeding, etc.) were followed to a "T" and, based on the great pictures that Andrew sent, Laila felt right at home and got ALL the snuggles while she was there. Thank you, Andrew!
Andrew and his family took great care of our Milo and we are so grateful to have a stress-free vacation! We received daily pictures and I could tell our pup enjoyed his stay as it seemed like he didn’t to want to leave! Thank you so much!
Andrew provided the best Rover experience I’ve had to-date. Communication was excellent and I trusted that Riley was being taken care of like she was at home with me.

It depends on the dog. Our last dog was a senior dog for many years and became deaf and blind so we had to carry him outside for walks almost every 3 hours. He was always more playful than affectionate so we played with him a lot and then he would go and nap. When we dog sit for my Parents, their dog never wants to play. He just wants to snuggle and be scratched all day. Special diets aren't an issue either.

I work from home so I can adapt to pretty much any schedule with each new client. Plus, we are up pretty late and rise pretty early so late night and early morning walks aren't an issue.
