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. Why choose me? - New to Rover, 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!

Andy did a great job watching our cats while we were away. We got timely updates and he communicated very clearly with us. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Andreas! I could tell how comfortable Webster was with you and he looked happy and tired when he got back, which makes me happy and not tired. I look forward to working with you again. Best, Lisa Geiger

Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!

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.

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!
