Dogs like me, all the time.

Pet care experience

I specialize in dogs that cannot be left to their own devices, especially large breeds with separation anxiety issues. Large dogs that pull when walking, or spin when anxious are no trouble at all. Larger high energy dogs like the German shepherd are welcome as well as smaller breeds. I unfortunately cannot offer care for incontinent pets or the very senior, as there are many stairs leading up to the house. Pets with feeding issues are also probably going to be a better fit for others on this platform with cpr training. My personal experiences as a pet parent were mainly with larger breeds like the husky and the German shepherd. The larger German shepherd was a rescue who was 100+lbs and considered dangerous before my adoption, she lived to an unexpected 14 years old, and unfortunately passed due to complications from hip displasia.

Andre took amazing care of my dog Duke. He was responsive and provided updates every day of Duke’s stay. I will definitely use Andre as a sitter in the future.

Andre truly cares for animals of all ages, types, sizes, and temperaments. I have watched Andre care for dogs, including my own, with compassion and knowledge even as they became senile. I am amazed to see Andre calm even the most rambunctious dogs in seconds. He seems to be able to communicate with them at another level. I would trust Andre with the care of animals any day. You can tell Andre has a true love for animals the second he sees them, and this is very important in entrusting someone with the care of a member of your family.

A typical day

It's dangerous to ride a bicycle alongside any pet. I use a scooter for this purpose, it has a very low deck (which prevents underride by sensitive paws) and a regenerative brake that will always be on (surefire way to tucker a dog out properly). If that seems like too much for your dog, a walk along the neponset river normally works.
