As a friend and dog owner, I would strongly recommend Andy to sit your pets. He spent the weekend with us over the hoildays to help with our two shibas, while we ran around like chickens with our heads cut off. We have two shibas, one could not be any easier to care for, our second, however, is very much, what I would call, a high maintenance dog. She’s down right a anti-social when being walked and will lash out at any dog that approaches and if they’re not close enough, our other dog in their stead, out of frustration. This is very often something that cannot be conveyed through words aptly, but must be experienced. Andy was “lucky” to be present for one such interaction this past weekend. To the uninducted this can be an onverwhelmkng scene, but he handled it, cool as a cucumber. He took my direction quickly and efficiently, pulled her close, kept her isolated and moved her out of the situation, and just as quickly as it started it was over. All party’s on their way and Andy beaming all the while because he got to walk the dogs. I have no doubt our dogs were sad to see him go, we were sad to see him go too. He showered them with attention and care every chance he got. When ever we weren’t prepping for thanksgiving or settling in guests, we’d look up to see Andy with one of the dogs draped across his lap. I have known Andy for sometime, and as an invidiual, I can speak to his honesty, responsibleness, and over all charming demeanor. His is as sure to win over an owner as much as the dogs. I’d entrust our dogs to him anytime, knowing they would be well taken care of, you should too. One last note I would make here, as an amateur photographer and a passion for dogs, he has undoubtedly provided us the best photos we have ever seen of our dogs. It was a pleasant surprise as, dogs by their nature make for finicky subjects, but he some how managed to capture them perfectly. Thank you Andy.
