Safety, trust & environment

I talk to pets. Depending on what pet I’m caring for, I put on some soothing music if they’re anxious. I’ll definitely ask the owner for consent or ask them how they would like their pet to be cared for. I also tend to communicate when the pet ate, walked, or sometimes send an updated pic if it’s been a while since the owner has been gone. Definitely varies but I think communicating to the owner and finding out what the pet needs is important.

Information Andres G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything specific needs your pet has. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats, having detailed instructions helps out a lot and gives me better direction.

A typical day

I play with them if they have toys available and make sure they get the attention they need. If a pet is anxious, I typically ask the owner if they play soothing-music for them.

Dog and Cat Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats here in Chicago. I’ve walked dogs and done drop-ins for both dogs and cats. Depending on the owner, I try to learn the pet’s habit and how to approach and care for each of them. I always make sure they have water, food, and play with them, and see what else they need.

Andres was amazing with our very difficult cat. He tried to play with her every day and by the end of the week she was actually engaging in play with him! We never thought that that would happen. We really appreciate all the care and time that Andres put in to make Evie feel at home.

Andres was SUPER easy to work with and great with our very senior cat Elmer. When my husband and I are away, we kind of need someone who’ll allow us to not think about what’s going on at home and Andres did just that- made it easy to be away from our lil guy. Thank you!
