Dogs Are The Best People
Pet care experience
After taking a few years off after the devastating death of our beautiful boy Rueben (and moving to Jersey City), I have decided it's time to begin offering a dog/house sitting and daycare services again. A month after Rueben passed we decided we couldn't stand not having a dog in our lives, so we adopted the cutest little (not so much now) rescue dog - Loki. He literally is the centre of our world now and it made me realize how much I absolutely adore the different personalities of dogs. And now I want to know more of them. Loki gives me the excuse to stop and say hi to all the dogs on the street (without it seeming weird), but I feel I want to get to know more. I had at least 2 dogs in the house when I was growing up and that is obviously where I developed the love for them and have vast experience in caring for them. When I began on Rover a few years back I was pretty much booked solid with all the services I offered, but now I've decided to do the sitting only because that's the best way to develop a beautiful connection with the pup. I work for myself as a freelance creative so I'm pretty flexible and I can often help out with a last minute booking. As I can work remotely I will stay at your house with your fur baby for the entire booking and I will absolutely not, let them spend the night alone. I feel the more time I spend there with the dog, he/she will adapt quicker and feel more comfortable being left with me and hopefully avoid any anxiety they may have. If suitable I'd be happy for your pup to meet Loki and they can have bit of a play. They would also get the Loki walking schedule. Big walk in the morning and evening and a small walk at lunch.
Reviews
Highly recommend Andy! He house sat our high energy pup while we were out of town and gave him so much love I’m not sure our pup knew we were gone. He sent us updates and photos multiple times a day. Andy is super reliable, kind, left our home very clean, and clearly loves dogs with all his being. Will be heartbroken if he’s not available the next time we go out of town!
Andy and Reuben were wonderful companions for Paul. I needed a sitter on short notice and Andy was very responsive and flexible. I could tell that Paul was having a great time from the pictures Andy sent and his updates - he did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. Thank you so much to Andy and his wife for a great booking experience!

Information Andy M. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs or behaviors your dog may have, particularly when they are in public. Obviously feeding regime and what a normal day for the pup involves.
A typical day
like I do with Loki, I will walk your dog on a different route every time so they can see different things and experience different smells. I may even bring Loki along to keep them company (if suitable)

Availability
As I mentioned, I'm a freelance creative so I will literally bring my work to your house for the duration of the stay. I may have to pop out here and there to run errands, but it would only be brief.
