Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Second Home!
I’ve spent years working with dogs, from managing a daycare and boarding facility to caring for them in my own home. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a calm, well-managed environment where dogs can settle in quickly and feel comfortable. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I had a German Shepherd and Wolf mix for 15 years, along with a cat who was with me for over 20, so I understand how much they mean and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and make sure they get the extra patience and attention they need.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Andy was great! Our dog was still in recovery from a recent ACL surgery and Andy was happy to help with the restrictions and medications and following the rehab protocol. We had to change the drop off time to very early in the morning before our flight and Andy was very accommodating. Great communication throughout stay. Would definitely recommend him and have our dog stay with Andy again!
Andy was great with our puppy Otto. He handled Otto's puppy energy with ease, and kept us up to date with pictures
Andy is great! Very responsive and available to do a meet and great and then host Theo for a couple of days. Provides us with as many (or few) updates as you want l, and throughout and after we could tell that Theo was 100% in great hands and well cared for. Will definitely return, and would recommend.
Andy cared for our two big labs during a Seahawks game & it worked perfectly. Easy handoffs & great communication!
I could tell he really cared about our dogs and enjoyed pet-sitting them
Andy was great to work with. Amelia had a fantastic time during a day care visit! We’d absolutely book with Andy again!

Schedule
My schedule is fully open and dedicated to pet care, which allows for flexibility with boarding and walks. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent supervision and attention, helping them feel comfortable and settled while they’re here.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean, well maintained apartment in Belltown, with easy access to great walking routes like the Olympic Sculpture Park, the Elliott Bay Trail, and quieter streets nearby for shorter walks. Inside, I keep the space tidy and free of hazards so dogs can relax and move around comfortably. I’m home throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel at ease.
A typical day
A typical day includes walks around the neighborhood and along the waterfront, with the Olympic Sculpture Park just a few blocks away for a longer outing. I like giving dogs a mix of fresh air, movement, and time to explore, depending on their energy and personality. For more active dogs, I can add extra walks, playtime, and engagement throughout the day. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to keep things relaxed at home, making sure they’re comfortable, settled, and well cared for.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or specific care instructions. Feeding details, emergency contact information, and your veterinarian’s contact information are also helpful to have. It’s also important to know how your dog does around other dogs and people, especially in shared spaces like elevators, sidewalks, or on walks. If there are any routines, preferences, or habits that help your dog feel comfortable, I’m happy to follow them. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel familiar and well cared for.
