Pet care experience

Aquarium Expert who loves dogs

I have many aquariums and I specialize in Nano fish and shrimp. I love to meet new dogs, cats, turtles and whatever cute pet you have! I have a car and am available for easy pick-up and drop-off. I am a 3 minute walk from the beach and 10 minute walk from the dog park. I have owned dogs in the past growing up and into my young adult life. I have trained multiple puppies into adulthood, and seen them move onto the next life. I have also taken care of senior and sick dogs as well as puppies all at the same time! I am diligent about any walking, medications, or anything that needs to be done on schedule. I am patient, kind and genuinely loving towards pets as I've had them most of my life.

Andrew did a great job taking care of our pets for the second time. Including medication adjustments and helped us find our lost purse. Pets were happy, and we loved getting regular updates!

Andrew is really easy to work with and is great with our boy! Our dog is always super happy to see him and seems to have a lot of fun!

Stella, our dog, has stayed with Andrew twice now. She is super excited to see him and he is so kind to her. She is a good judge of character and if people are not nice to her she does not like them and she loves Andrew. He has taught her new tricks and sends lots of pictures and videos. I could not be happier we found Andrew to watch Stella when we are out of town.

Andrew was great, he took care of our dog for a little over two weeks while we were abroad and did a wonderful job. Sent me pics every day and truly made our dog feel at home. If you need a great dog sitter Andrew is the right guy for you. Worth every dime!!

Schedule

I work from home full time constantly taking care of animals. I breed pet shrimps in aquariums at home and teach Spanish online as well, but they are only 1 hour classes. As in always home, I am easily able to take pets on walks, provide food and medication on time, play with them, take many pictures and provide many updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow whatever instructions I am giving and use my many years of experience caring for all sorts of animals to determine what to do in any case of emergency.

A typical day

I will take your dog to one of the many local parks and dog beach near me in addition to 3+ walks per day. I also love running and walks so they'll have a lot of fun. If your pup has anxiety of being alone, I rarely leave them alone at my place as I both I and my girlfriend work from home and enjoy entertaining and giving love to pets. We are readily available for any activities with the animals to keep them (and us) stimulated!!

If your pet loves to catch fish from aquariums let me know before hand. If your pet is not potty trained, I would also like a heads up.
