Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, Mobile & Reliable
If you're looking for someone who can truly keep up with an active dog, you’ve found the right person. I am an outdoor enthusiast who believes that a tired dog is a happy dog. Living in Allston (02134), I am right in the heart of the action and familiar with all the best local routes, from the Charles River Esplanade and Ringer Park to the Soldiers Field Road Dog Park to the Rogers Park. Why choose me? - Fully Dedicated: As I am just starting my journey on this platform, I am highly motivated to provide top-tier care and earn your trust through 5-star service. - Fully Mobile & Local: I am very mobile and cover Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. - Maximum Flexibility: Since I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute requests or mid-day walks when your plans change or work runs late. - Tailored Activity: From high-energy runs for athletic pups to slow, mindful strolls for senior dogs, I adjust every session to your pet's specific age, health, and energy level. Cat Care & Drop-In Visits When I’m not out on the trails, I’m a dedicated cat lover. I have extensive experience with feeding schedules, play habits, and specialized care. I am punctual, reliable, and will ensure your home stays exactly how you left it. I’m excited to meet my new furry neighbors in the area. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to schedule a quick, free meet-and-greet to see if we’re a perfect match!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with Andreas. Super communicative, really nice, and clearly very good with dogs. Andreas is a great dog sitter!
Andreas did a great job on his drop in with Henry! I really appreciate that he took the request last minute and was very communicative.
Andreas has been great! He is consistently on time, reliable, and provides great feedback on each visit! For someone with an anxious dog, I am very grateful to have found such a great person to look after her and take her out.
Andreas always goes above and beyond with his care and communication. Thank you!
We are very grateful for the work that Andreas has been doing with Tango. He has always comes on time, responsible, and very kind. His gentle and professional way of handling Tango has truly helped our two‑year‑old puppy to continue maturing and feeling confident during his walks. Tango enjoys his time with him, and we’re glad he will keep walking with him. We highly recommend his work.
We had the pleasure of meeting Andy and his partner with our dog Gabby and they were instantly likeable and very understanding and accommodating. They looked after her so perfectly despite the tough weather, they made sure to send us regular updates with every single walk, which we so appreciated! It made our time apart from Gabby just a tiny bit better with every new piece of content. The communication, drop-off and pick-up all went so smoothly that we would not hesitate to go back to them again, next time we have to leave our precious dog with someone.

Schedule
- Monday – Friday: I specialize in the mid-day window (11 AM – 2 PM). This is the core part of my weekday routine, dedicated to giving your pets a much needed break, fresh air, and exercise while you are at work or in classes. - Weekends: My schedule is fully flexible. Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or just need extra coverage, I can typically accommodate any time that works for you. - Local & Responsive: Since I live right here in Allston, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. This allows me to be very punctual and often available for last-minute requests or short-notice drop-ins.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
- Whether in your home or on a walk, your pet’s safety and emotional well being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same level of care I’ve given to my family’s and friends' pets for years. - Routine & Comfort: I strictly follow your established routines (feeding, exercise, medication) to minimize stress for your pet while you're away. - Active Supervision: During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, ensuring we stay on safe paths and maintain a respectful distance from other animals to avoid any unpredictable situations. - Home Security: I take your trust seriously. I am very attentive to home security and will always double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked and the alarm (if applicable) is set before I leave. - Clear Communication: I love sending quick photo updates or a short message after each visit so you can see that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
A typical day
- Adventure Walks: For active pups, we’ll hit the Charles River Esplanade or Ringer Park for a high-energy stroll with plenty of new sights and smells. - Playtime: Whether it's a game of fetch in the yard or feather-wand chasing for my feline friends, I make sure every pet gets their daily dose of fun. - Quality Time: For senior dogs or shy cats, I provide gentle companionship and plenty of head scratches. - Photo Updates: I’ll always snap a great "action shot" of your pet so you can see their happy face during our visit!
