Pet care experience
I have 13 and a half years of an incredible soul bond with my beautiful Chow/Akita, Poly. She has grown with me and taught me how to be a better human. I have owned, walked and cared for dogs since I was a boy, but never did I imagine a relationship like I have with Poly. She has made me want to give back to her species for all that she has given me! Have trained her myself from being a more aggressive dog to being able to go on adventures, go to outdoor parties with many people and dogs, as well as bringing her to work with me for many years! I was a general manager for an indoor trampoline park for 6 years and she would quietly sit in my office, unnoticed by most, until kids would see her and want to pet her. Which she always sweetly allowed them to do. We then were gifted a adorable golden chow puppy, Koda, in Feb 2021. So I have experience introducing a new puppy to a diva of a 13 year old dog. I have become excellent at managing their behaviors so we can all peacefully and lovingly coexist! I have dealt with many medical issues, have administered medicine, given baths, and groomed and filed nailed. I have also learned how being aware of when to recognize behavioral signs in dogs is key to properly care for them.
Reviews
Andrew is a great, caring and responsible dog owner and animal lover. Animals are drawn to him and he has a lovely way with all creatures that helps them feel at ease. Andrew has many years of experience with both dogs and cats and I would recommend him to any pet owner.
About Andrew W.
Safety, trust & environment
We have a house with a good amount of yard and woods behind it. We mainly walk our dogs on our cul-de-sac street, on the surrounding streets, and in parks. We do sometimes let our two our on leads in our back yard. I am always the leader on our walks with a firm hold and great leash control. Am willing to walk dogs at other houses or play with them in fenced in yards!

Availability
I work full time, usually Tueday-Saturday from 12:30pm-10pm. My schedule does vary a bit, but I take our dogs for local walks in the morning on days when I work, and adventure with them on days that I'm off. Looking to add some dog walking or playtime with some new pups on my days off, and potentially on work days, as long as it's early enough. (Or late enough days when I occasionally work 9:30am-6:30pm).
