About Andrew (Rusty) C.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

Please call to discuss any special need(s) or requirements your dog(s) may have that I need to be aware of. I can accommodate most any dog(s).
A typical day
My dogs and pet guests get plenty of exercise running and playing, retrieving Frisbees and balls. My dog loves to chase squirrels and even climb trees. I also have access to a private beach- so if your dog(s) like to swim I'd love to take them down to the beach...my home is on a quiet dead end road, great for safe neighborhood walks. I also frequent the many lake county dog parks and I am more than happy to take your dogs along.

Home-like country atmosphere
Pet care experience
I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with.
Reviews
Rusty was great. He was wonderful about the meet and greet with our dogs. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. We will definitely ask Rusty to watch our dog again.
Rusty was incredibly accommodating when we realized I booked the wrong weekend for our two dogs! He graciously was able to take them last minute, and they had a great time! Rusty was communicative and very understanding of our one anxious dog, we would definitely use him again.
Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!
Rusty has a great house and yard for dogs. Always got updates and pictures. Would definitely use again!
