Information Andrew M. would like to know about your pet

I do need to know if dogs are friendly. My dog is highly social so for some dogs it can be overwhelming, especially when they're also missing their family. I also need to know if they need assistance going up stairs as I live in a 4th floor walk up. For drop in visits, and house sitting I definitely need to know if my dog is able to join me as that will dramatically impact the schedule I can offer.

A typical day

At 7 we go to the nearest dog park for a potty and a walk. We get back around 8:30. On work from home days Coconut, my poodle assistant steps in for play until we walk again around 12 pm. I like to do training with Coconut when we get back around 12:30 to 1. Then in the evening around 4:30 we go to one of the further dog parks with more friends to play with! The last walk of the day is usually between 9 and 11 depending on the dogs.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life, and had 4 dogs at a time for most of that. I’m experienced with senior dogs as well as puppy training. I train dogs with maximum positive reinforcement. My dog/assistant grew up with elderly yorkies and is eager to lend a paw.

Andrew was great. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog got along with his and the others he cares for. He was very communicative during the stay and took our dog on multiple walks and trips to the dog park. I would definitely recommend Andrew and will use him again in the future.

Andrew was amazing!! He took such good care of my dog when I was away and was so flexible with booking changes on short notice. He genuinely cares about the dogs and provided so many fun photos and videos. Thank you so much and Bagel looks forward to staying with you and Coconut in the future :)

Andrew is the best! He took such great care of our dog Lucy while we were away, and went above and beyond in his care for her on many occasions. We are so grateful for his patience, kindness and experience in caring for dogs. Thank you, Andrew!
