Reviews
Andres is a very nice guy, super respectable and kind. I was about to give up on leaving my dog with a pet sitter because he doesn't like strangers, but with andres he never had any issues and was always fine. Highly reccomend.
100% recommend! Very responsible and always attends to the needs of the pet and requests of the owner! Very communicative as well which is always appreciated.
I can't speak highly enough about Andres as a dog walker and pet sitter. He took care of Luna, my beautiful dog, with such love and attention. Andres not only ensured Luna's physical well-being but also provided her with companionship and affection. I trusted him completely and was always impressed by his professionalism and genuine care for animals. Luna adored him, and I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for her. I highly recommend Andres to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caretaker.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my client's home or while walking dogs, safety, trust, and creating a conducive environment are my top priorities. In my client's home, I ensure a safe environment by familiarizing myself with the layout, securing any potential hazards, and adhering to specific instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes securely locking doors and gates, storing harmful substances out of reach, and keeping a watchful eye on the pet's surroundings. During walks, I maintain a tight grip on the leash, using a secure harness or collar to prevent escapes or accidents. I also carefully observe the pet's behavior and body language to anticipate any potential dangers, such as approaching vehicles or other animals. By building a relationship based on trust and reliability with both the pets and their owners, I strive to create a comfortable and secure environment where pets feel safe and cared for at all times.
Information Andre T. would like to know about your pet
It's crucial for pet owners to provide detailed information about their furry companions ahead of time when choosing me as their pet sitter or dog walker. Understanding their pets' unique personalities, preferences, and needs allows me to provide tailored care and ensure their well-being and happiness. Knowing about any dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or behavioral quirks enables me to anticipate and address any potential challenges effectively. Additionally, being aware of their pets' routines, favorite toys, and preferred activities helps me create a familiar and comfortable environment, reducing stress and anxiety during my time with them. By having a comprehensive understanding of their pets' individual requirements, I can provide the best possible care and forge a strong bond built on trust and reliability with both the pets and their owners.
A typical day
On a typical day while pet sitting or walking dogs, I start by ensuring all furry friends are fed, hydrated, and given any necessary medications or supplements. Once their basic needs are met, we embark on our outdoor adventures, whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an energetic romp in the park. Throughout our time together, I engage the pets in stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active, such as playing fetch, practicing obedience commands, or exploring new trails. I also make sure to provide plenty of affection and attention, showering them with pets, cuddles, and words of encouragement. Back at home, I maintain a clean and organized environment, tidying up any messes and replenishing food and water bowls as needed. Before the day ends, I send updates and photos to the pet owners, ensuring they're informed and reassured about their beloved companions' well-being. Overall, each day is filled with joy, companionship, and unforgettable moments shared with the pets in my care.

Availability
working in Manhattan, I am well-versed in the art of juggling responsibilities and providing exceptional service. I am typically available to walk dogs in the mornings before my shifts, and I offer pet sitting services on Fridays and Saturdays, which are my designated days off. However, I am not available on Sundays as I reserve that time for personal relaxation and rejuvenation. My experience in the bustling city has honed my time management skills and instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of creating a healthy work-life balance. I am committed to ensuring that your pets receive the care and attention they deserve, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide reliable and loving support for your furry companions.
