Free time for fun with doggies!!

I’m a professional working actor and my schedule is varied so have chunks of free time to utilise... google me if you wish to see me in that professional capacity which has been a very full and demanding busy life of which I’m very proud and love.... Andrew McHale and IMDb as well as Instagram give that insight into that world! My week consists of castings and meetings for acting work and I do a lot of commercials work so a day or two here and there when filming. If I book a movie etc for longer, then I’d obviously not be available for that time period but I’d communicate any diary dates not available. Obviously that part of my life has seen my schedule cleared mostly due to the current pandemic and the entertainment industry has suffered tremendously as many other industries! My absolute pride and joy and LOVE of my life was my Jack Russell Terrier Jake who sadly passed away at the grand age of fifteen in the autumn this year and I’m truly lost without him and heartbroken! He is the very reason that I discovered my connection with doggies and my love for them and he is why I get all the lovely feedback from my amazing clients of which I’m truly grateful for and their continued repeat bookings! All I do is care for your doggie as I would my own and the pleasure is all mine! LOVE dogs and all animals and this would be my pleasure looking after others... I used to have a Border Terrier called Max too at the start of Jakey’s life but sadly he passed away very suddenly at 4 years old. All dogs carefully considered in terms of connecting with my regular pack in order to avoid any issues I may be concerned with if relevant but largely all my doggie clients get on and never experienced any major socialising problems because my calm but consistent approach to dog care avoids these issues arising! I’m also open to dogs with behavioural issues as I do not discriminate. Obviously availability is limited and I can’t unfortunately accept every request and consideration is based on my current pack regulars and compatibility! I welcome all questions and am happy to be contacted at any point but do realise that my replies largely occur in the evening if not immediately urgent! I’ll always reply to all and never ignore anyone even if I’m unavailable to accept a booking request. Thankyou for engaging with me and my services and I look forward to meeting all of my four legged friends who come my way because my Jake will expect nothing less...

Andrew was recommended through a friend who regularly books him. It was very short notice on our part to book dog care and Andrew was very considerate, thorough, and informative. It's obvious he understands all types of dogs and how to make them (and you) feel comfortable and secure that he will look after your dog exactly how you would dream a sitter would. Will definitely be booking Andrew again, a God send!

We have left our dog with Andrew several times now and he absolutely loves it! They have the best time, Andrew is lovely, responsive and super friendly and really knows what he is doing with the dogs. Will keep using him for as long as we can!

As ever our dog always has a good time, and always comes home happily tired, the care shown and taken by Andew is unparalleled when he is looking after your fur baby. Thank you Andrew.

A typical day

Great walks in the brilliant parks and locations nearby and I’m a big games player with dogs as Jakey always loved football with a tennis ball... he was super chilled with other dogs too and I encourage all dogs under my care to coexist regardless of differences just as Jake always did! We’ll also take regular road trips too and Wanstead Flats are frequented often as Jakey’s favourite place is always going to be introduced to all doggies I care for and a place they’ll always love!
