Pet care experience

Note: only caring for dogs up to 30lbs right now. I grew up on a farm out in the middle of no where Ohio caring for chickens, goats and 4 dogs at one time and 2 cats. If you pick me to care for your little one they will get the following - I only watch one family's dog at a time or up to 2 dogs per family. - lots of attention and petting - will have access to the whole house to run around and find places for naps - lots of treats. If you have treats you can bring them or I can provide treats for them unless you prefer them not to have treats or follow a certain diet. - lots of playtime outside depending on the dog and weather. - daily updates with pictures.

Outstanding boarding experience. Andrew (and Bubby) took great care of my dog Nala during my 19-day work trip, which included a massive snowstorm. Great communication, lots of updates, pictures, and a great experience for my dog. Andrew's setup is great. He is very present with your dog (works from home), has a fenced yard which allows for outdoor playtime, and has a very friendly dog of his own. I could not recommend Andrew more strongly.

Andrew is great! He was very accommodating and communicative throughout my pet’s stay with him. The best part was he gave daily updates with pictures!

Andrew and his family were very attentive . Did a wonderful job of keeping me informed on how my pet was doing on a daily basis.
