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 is really easy to work with and gives constant updates on our boy! He takes him to the parks and on long walks so he gets his play time in.

Andrew is the best. He’s super easy to communicate with, and takes such good care of Fig. I feel so at ease when I leave Figgy with him! You can really tell he has so much care and love for your pet. I cannot recommend him enough!

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!

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.
