Treating All Pets Like Family
Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Andres provided exceptional care for our two Frenchies, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. He followed our feeding schedule perfectly and took them on daily walks, which they love. We received regular updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, our dogs were of course excited to se us but also content, showing no signs of stress. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend his services! I will definitely be using Andres' services again.
My dog loves Andres, he’s totally a dog person. I have a 70 lb staffy who is a very strong girl and he’s able to handle her and walk her without issue. Even when she barks at him like a brat. His chill, friendly nature is perfect for any pet temperment- shy or outgoing, your pet will feel at home w him.
Andres has a tremendously kind heart and will love your pup like his very own. I cannot say enough good things about him! He’s trustworthy and punctual. My dog LOVES him!

Schedule
I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.
Pets
A typical day
I understand every pet is different, so I will tailor each visit, daycare, and boarding according to their needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, fetch, enrichment games, or simply relaxing with family, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. My wife and I work primarily from home, so your pet will have consistent supervision and a calm, comfortable environment throughout the day.
