Information Andy R. would like to know about your pet

Before dog care, vital details include dietary needs, medical history, behavior quirks, and emergency contacts. Clear instructions ensure their well-being. Also, knowing their exercise requirements, daily routines, and any specific preferences or sensitivities helps provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the dog.

A typical day

I'll engage dogs in play, fetch, and explore dog-friendly parks for walks. Special places vary, but parks, trails, and beaches are favorites. Additionally, I'll tailor activities to each dog's preferences, like agility, puzzles, or cuddle time. Safety and enjoyment are top priorities.

Pet care experience

Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do it’s something I love. With over seven years of hands on experience, I’ve worked with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who deserve gentle care and patience. But what truly sets me apart isn’t just my background it’s how I show up for every dog I meet. I believe dogs need more than just food and potty breaks they thrive on connection, routine, and fun. Whether it’s going on engaging walks, getting in some solid playtime, working on basic training, or just lounging with belly rubs and calm companionship, I focus on giving each dog exactly what they need to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I keep you updated, send pics, and make sure your pup is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time Believe your dog is in great hands.

Andy has been amazing with our 2 dogs!! One of our dogs is a little difficult and we don’t trust him with many people (he is very reactive) but he warmed right up to Andy! Andy is very experienced, professional, knows how to handle dogs, and most importantly -we trust him with our boys! We also appreciate that he communicates with us after their walks. Thank you Andy!

Andy is an excellent animal lover and cares so much for their well being. He was a vetinary technician for the past 5 years. I witnessed him myself care for his cats and walk my dogs. Both my dogs love him, he has a very calm vibe to him that make animals feel safe with him.
