Home
Information Andrew O. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any special needs or allergies your dog may have, along with their favorite foods, treats, and toys! I’m happy to consult on any specific behaviors you’d like help with or to teach them new tricks. My approach is personalized to each dog, so the more I know, the better care I can provide. Don’t hesitate to share any preferences or routines that make your dog feel at home!
A typical day
I have a basement setup solely for dog training and boarding, along with a spacious, fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around! The dogs will have ample mental and physical stimulation with daily basic obedience training, structured and supervised playtime, daily walks (if my boy Dante doesn't tire them out first!), and lots of love!

Boarding, Daycare & Training
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Andrew, and I’m deeply passionate about fostering harmonious relationships between dogs and their families. My journey into dog training and boarding began with a transformative experience helping a friend with their dog, who was at risk of being re-homed due to behavioral challenges. Through a balanced, LIMA-based approach (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive), I guided them toward positive changes, strengthening their bond. This experience ignited my passion for professional dog training and boarding. I've loved dogs since I was an infant—when I wasn’t watching 101 Dalmatians on repeat, I was playing with our Australian Shepherd. I’m always learning more about dog behavior and look forward to teaching—and learning from—both you and your dog!

Reviews
Andrew watched our lab puppy for just about a week and she had the best time. It was so nice that he sent us videos and picture updates. We would recommend Andrew to everyone and hope to use him in the future!
Andrew took great care of my dog. I highly recommend him. He sent me videos and photos of my dog playing with the other two dogs. I saw that my dog was having fun! My dog looked happy and relaxed, and it was comforting to know he was in a safe place enjoying his time away from home. He kept me updated on how my dog was doing. I will be booking future stays with Andrew now that I know I have a safe, happy place for my dog Wolfie. Wolfie warmed up to Andrew and felt comfortable being with him. And he now has new dog buddies to play with. The social interaction is so important. You will be glad you chose Andrew for your dog sitter. And he has a nice fenced in yard too.
Andrew was great. I left our dog overnight. Sent me a bunch of pictures and videos. dog seemed to really have a good time.
Very professional and responsive. Clearly great with dogs as ours were a bit reactive to meeting his dog and he walked us through easing them into becoming best buds! We'd highly recommend and will use Andrew again if we return to the area!
