Reliable, experienced care
Pet care experience
I am highly experienced in animal care. 6 years of working in a kennel, 2 years on Rover, and ownership of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and stick insects mean I know how to keep animals safe and happy, both in your home and on walks. I have experience working with animals with special needs; deafness, blindness and epilepsy are all conditions I have worked with in dogs.
Reviews
Andrew visited the dogs while we were at home yesterday. He was calm in the dogs’ company and showed he could be relaxed but firm with the dogs. They in turn responded positively to Andrew and seemed happy to be left with him. We feel confident that Andrew can develop a good relationship with our dogs, and look forward to booking him for future visits.
Brilliant and professional as always
Andrew was very professional and reliable. Our house was left very tidy and most importantly our dogs liked him and I could tell they where well cared for. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks Andrew!
We left our 2 year old cocker spaniels with Andrew staying at our house for a long weekend. Andrew came to meet us and our boys prior to the booking which we appreciated. We've not left our boys before so felt naturally anxious however; Andrew was lovely with our boys, respecting routines and finer details, he looked after our boys with enthusiasm and kindness. He looked after our home and left everything clean and tidy. Andrew looked forward to walking our boys and took them out in his car "which they love" on a long walk and genuinely seemed to enjoy caring for them. We will definitely be booking again with a lot of confidence that we can go away and enjoy ourselves knowing our boys are looked after,

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to adapt the care I provide your dog(s) to your home. The happiness and safety of your dog will always be paramount for me, and as such I will follow your directions when it comes to how best to provide care.
Information Andrew M. would like to know about your pet
I will always ask about behaviour and medical needs, as well as what your pet likes to do. I also like to ask about the settings your dog is comfortable in.
A typical day
As a keen hiker, I love taking dogs for walk. Places I can take your dog include the many parks and tracks around York. However, for dogs with more energy, I enjoy heading up onto the moors for a longer walk. I have experience setting up enrichment activities for your pets, such as treasure hunts, scent trails or the traditional game of fetch! For dogs that prefer a low energy environment, I will happily sit with them and give them all the fuss they could want.

Availability
I currently work in a school, so I am available to play with your pet early morning and late afternoon through to evening. I am available at weekends also. During school holidays I am able to provide 24/7 care. I am a keen hiker, so if caring for a high-energy breed I love to take them out on a long walk!
