Pet care experience
Keeping your pup active!
Hi! I’m Andy, a lifelong dog lover with a passion for keeping pups happy, safe, and well cared for. Growing up with a boxer named Peyton taught me about companionship, responsibility, and how to understand a dog’s needs from puppyhood to their senior years. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, thanks to friends and family, and I love getting to know their unique personalities. In November 2024, we added Groot, our energetic Standard Australian Shepherd, to the family! He’s always up for a run or a new training session, and he reminds me every day why I love doing this. My goal is to provide safe, quality care for your furry family member — treating them like one of my own, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well loved while you’re away.

Schedule
I work full‑time as a Wellness Coordinator at Stoughton Health, which allows me to help care for your pup in the evenings and on weekends. I also get off work early on Thursdays, making it a great day for longer walks, training, or extra playtime. For boarding, your dog will have plenty of attention and potty breaks throughout the day. My wife works from home three days a week, and on the other days I run home during lunch to let Groot out, ensuring he (and your pup!) get regular breaks and attention. Whether your furry friend needs a jog to burn off energy, a quiet walk, or some help reinforcing good behavior, I’m dedicated to making sure they’re happy, safe, and well‑cared‑for. Your pup’s well‑being is always my top priority!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are the foundation of my approach to dog care. I understand how important it is for your pup to feel secure, cared for, and loved — just as I do with my own dog, Groot. At our home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. We have a guest bedroom available if your dog needs their own space to relax and settle in. During walks and playtime, I provide close supervision to ensure their safety and well‑being at all times. I use positive reinforcement to build trust, create a rewarding experience, and help every pup feel comfortable and confident. Let’s work together to keep your dog happy, active, and thriving — whether it’s at my place or yours!

A typical day
Each day with your pup is tailored to their energy, interests, and comfort level. We might start with a walk around the neighborhood, a trip to a nearby park, or a nature trail for some sights and sniffs. At home, we’ll play interactive games like fetch, tug‑of‑war, or puzzle toys to keep their mind and body engaged. For high‑energy dogs, I’m happy to incorporate a jog or a longer run to help them burn off that extra pep. If your pup is more laid‑back, we can relax with cuddle breaks or short, gentle strolls. I’m also open to adding in any training exercises or special activities you’d like to focus on, making sure every moment is a rewarding, safe, and enjoyable experience for your furry friend!
