35 year old retired 1 legged Marine who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I had my Labrador retriever for 10 years before he sadly passed away in 2022. I have always had a dog for as long as I could remember. Then as an adult I lost my leg whilst serving in Afghanistan which forced me to leave the Marines at 24. Getting a dog to give me focus, purpose and help with my recovery seemed the perfect idea. I had him from 12 weeks old and taught him every trick in the book. I’m not ready to get a dog of my own just yet and have been caring for friends dogs in the mean time which have included a 2 year old Staffordshire terrier and a 12 year old Labrador.

Seeking a reliable caretaker for an extended stay? Look to Andy. I left my dog in his care for a substantial 10-day period, and I couldn't have been more impressed. Andy's professionalism, combined with his genuine love for animals, ensured my pet was not only well looked after but also showered with affection. He went above and beyond, not only providing exceptional care but also ensuring I remained connected through regular updates. His thoughtful gesture of sharing pictures and videos throughout each walk and play session not only reassured me but also allowed me to feel included in my pet’s experiences while I was away. I would definitely recommend Andy to give your pet the royal treatment they deserve while you're away.

Information Andy G. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know any special treats your dog likes or particularly games we could play or even particularly walks that are more favourable.

A typical day

I love walks down the beach and Formby woods so if your dog likes adventures like this then we would be a great match. However if it’s just company your dog likes I’m equally as happy chilling with the back door open so the dog can wander from my living room into the back garden making themselves at home.

I was medically discharged from the Royal Marines at 24 after losing my leg in an explosion and now deliver motivational speaking a couple times of week in the corporate world and schools. This means that most of my time is my own. My time is flexible as i work for myself so fitting in with you pet into my day to day life isn’t a problem at all.
