Availability
I build my own schedule currently, so just shoot me a message to work out care for your pets! My availability is usually open for house-sitting and drop-ins as my work is almost exclusively done on the computer. I am available to drop in, dog walk, and house-sit as a trustworthy, dependable go-to 😃. There's nothing I love more than taking a doggy on a great, big adventure.

About Andrew M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
An agreement and written instructions are always requested from the client (as simple as a text with care instructions). I want to be very clear on my expectations of care while I am with your pet, they're a family member. I have dealt with elderly pets, pets with behavioral issues, and other types of animals so nothing is much of a surprise, and care can always be adjustments made depending on the situation! As far as a general answer: My dog, Reese (Rottweiler Mix), is just about the happiest guy in the world! He loves going for runs, is walked every day, fed yummy treats, and is given so many snuggles he doesn't know what to do with all of them! I hope that can ease your mind, and if you want to chat any further, just send me a message!
Information Andrew M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if any behavioral issues, feeding or medical needs, or any other special/pertinent info regarding your pet. My dog does have a slight issue with other larger alpha males, and there is an elderly/disabled household member living with me, so I am not able to board/doggy day care.
A typical day
A typical day will be rousting the beasts, making sure everyone is comfortable/gone potty, and then (depending on feeding schedule), they are fed! Afterwards, we go for a walk or any activity they are used to. If it's a nice day, we can even head out to hit one of the trails! Returning, the doggies will get their treats. Now it is time for a little rest while I do some work, and/or letting them free play if they have a yard to do so. Dinner time rolls around a bit later and usually I will spend the evening with more exercise (depending on energy levels), snuggling, light play, or letting the dogs relax.

Pet care experience
I am a lifelong pet owner, and experienced pet-sitter. I have house-sat and pet-sat for 4+years now, and have found a knack for developing quick, loving bonds with furry friends just like they're used to. There's really nothing like the peace of mind that your animals are under empathetic, kind, and animal-oriented care while ou are away.
Reviews
Andrew was great, my dogs were happy and Andy sent me pictures and texts about what they were up too while I was away, would definitely engage Andy again!
Andy is wonderful. Very kind and easy to communicate with. My dogs loved him.
Andrew always does a great job watching my dogs. He’s very intuitive with what they need and provides lots of updates on how they’re doing while I’m away.
Andrew is fantastic with our shy cats and super reliable. He has great communication and sends us lots of cute photos of our girls! We'll definitely have Andrew watch our kitties again!
