Doing my best for your pets.
Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8. Growing up, my mom did dog sitting and walking and I always came to help her take care of them so I could learn how to properly take care of them and others pets. As I got older I started walking dogs for clients myself around my town. I learned organization and listening skills while helping with pet care my whole life. I learned how to properly listen to the owners instructions, observe the dogs behavior to know what they are feeling and what they are comfortable with, and being able to work with dogs of different breeds, ages, and sizes. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and have taken care of clients cats in their homes.

Hi Im Andie's mom and we've been business partners since she was 10 years old. We have run as a family living on long Island an in our home or at your home dog/pet sitting and dog walking service for over 10 years. Now with Andie living and going to school in NYC she wants to bring all of her experience and these services to the big City. Andie is responsible, dependable and trustworthy. Through the years she has had complete access to many of our clients homes. Her responsibilities were to walk, feed, Vet appointments and at times stay overnight if needed. When you hire her your getting the best of the best.
From Mary S I have known Andie her whole life, now and even as a young child, Andie has always demonstrated a love for all animals. My dog Bambi has been entrusted in her care, and I feel lucky to have someone I can trust, and someone Bambi loves to be with. I think Rover would be benefit from Andie’s service!
As someone who has a love for dogs like no other, it is incredibly necessary to pick the best caregiver possible, and in my opinion, Andie was the best choice I could've possibly had to take care for my adorable perfect golden doodle, Willow! She has an incredibly kind soul and a soft spot for all animals, which is the #1 thing a caregiver should have! I really admire her dedication and commitment to her work and believe her work ethic is truly impressive. In conclusion, Willow and I wholeheartedly recommend Andie as a responsible and loving pet caregiver!
About Andie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to get to know the dog and walk them areas they are familiar with to keep them as comfortable as possible with me and their surroundings. I only use whatever type of leash, collar, or harness the owner provides me so I know that’s what the dog is comfortable with.
Information Andie S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs such as medication, important behavior traits: not liking other dogs, not liking to be pet in certain areas, scared of other people, etc., equipment: harness, booties, muzzle, etc.
A typical day
In addition to care and walking, I enjoy playing with the dog and making sure they are happy and properly stimulated. It is important for a dog to be able to get their energy out in order to be happy and healthy. If they owners have a dog park they regularly or are comfortable with bringing their dogs to, I would be more than happy to bring them.
