Run, play, love, hooray!

My name is Andreas, and I am an NYC-based actor/singer/dancer/dog-lover! I grew up in the beautiful, rural forests of Maine, and my family always had at least two dogs in our family while growing up! I have cared for dogs my whole life, and I have done it professionally for over 10 years. I am passionate about health/fitness, and I will happily share my healthy habits with your best friend! Whether on a walk, on a run, cuddling on the couch, feeding your pet breakfast/dinner, I will always care for Man's Best Friend with my 100% heart. Your pup will be in safe paws with me! Fun fact: I have played "MAX" (The Grinch's dog!) on The Broadway National Tour of How The Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical for three years, so I know the mind of a dog quite well...!

Andreas was exactly what you’d want in a fur baby sitter. He took care of our pets extremely well, and sent videos and pictures everyday. Took time to get to know them and even won over our cat who doesn’t like anybody besides us! He was the best. You’d be lucky to have Andreas watch your pets.

Truly, there is no one better. Andreas knew exactly how to treat our dog like family. So communicative, warm, and he goes above and beyond. We were so grateful to have Andreas watching our dog.

Andreas is a fantastic sitter and lovely person. He took truly excellent care of our dog while away for two weeks. At all times we felt totally confident in his thoughtfulness, loving care, and enthusiasm for watching our beloved pet. Recommended without hesitation!

Andreas is incredibly attentive and thoughtful. He's a natural caregiver. My pup was so calm and happy when I returned from a five-day trip! I trust Andreas completely and believe any dog is lucky to spend time with him. :)

Andreas is an awesome dude. About a year ago, I got my puppy Emmy, and Andreas has taken care of her since day 1. He's been a champ taking care of her pee/poop inside, and helping me potty-train her. He is always smiling, always working hard, and always having fun with my pup. He's got a great life attitude which will probably rub off on you and your pet haha! I'm really grateful to know him. He will always be the first person I ask to watch my apartment and watch Emmy!

A typical day

I love taking client's dogs for walks and runs all over NYC! Whether it be the Hamilton Dog Park uptown, or the lengths of Central Park, I am always happy to go on an active adventure with your pup! I love playing fetch with sticks/balls, and I love cuddling, petting, and letting your animal feel loved!
