I love all animals.Especially dogs!
Pet care experience
I am and always have been an animal enthusiast. My family always had pets of some kind. Often it was dogs and cats simultaneously, but could also be expanded to include fish and hamsters. I seem to have an uncanny connection with each pet I meet. This seems to be more prevalent when interacting with dogs in particular. I love that pets belonging to friends and family end up hanging around me more than their humans. This situation has even occurred with dogs/cats whose humans say the animal is "evil" or "not pet-able." I have been a dog sitter for friends in the past and none have had any complaints. Most have even claimed an improvement in the dog's behavior. I can provide more than just attention and exercise for dogs. I enjoy working with well behaved dogs who like to practice their skills and obedience.
Reviews
Drew is awesome with our Pitbull Boxer mix Jaxson and Jaxson really likes him.
Drew is a dog lover! Drew has taken care of my dog a few times. My dog gets excited when Drew comes to visit. He even taught her a few tricks. I trust my Drew around my dog, and you should too! I would highly recommend Drew!!
Drew is an active, reliable professional whose passion for connecting and working with animals shows clearly. I would not hesitate to entrust Drew with my dog's care.
Drew has taken care of our Goldens many times. Even though they are 75 pound dogs, he holds them on his lap and gives them hugs. He snuggles with the dogs and treats them as members of our family. He is responsible and assertive and always has the best interest of the dogs in mind. He is friendly and easy to work with.

Information Drew H. would like to know about your pet
How do they perform when off of a leash in a dog park-type setting? Does the owner want any training performed? Any particular skills/behaviors that should be stressed and worked on? Does the dog have any medical issues? Any allergies to be aware of? Am I allowed to give them treats throughout our session? If particular treats are to be used, will they be provided? Sometimes I will get down on the ground and play/wrestle with dogs in the same way that they often do with each other. Is this an OK activity? Depending on the dog's personality and how they were raised, this may or may not be an acceptable behavior. I am most familiar with Golden Retrievers, but have exposure to many other breeds. I do best with energetic, well-behaved dogs, but am comfortable with any type of dog.
A typical day
Walks can be done through neighborhood streets, a dog park, and/or dog-friendly trails. Other activities can involve walks, rope toy tug of war, fetch, catching a tennis ball or a frisbee, and/or running. As I learn more about specific dogs and their personalities, our routine will be modified to suit them individually.
