Pet care experience
For about two years I took care of my cousin's amazing dog Cyrus. My cousin had to travel extensively, so my routine with Cyrus was fairly involved. I took him on almost daily 45 minute walks, during which Cyrus would do his best to sneak tasty poop nuggets from under my laser gaze. I fed him twice per day, adding extra carrots as necessary to fuel some afternoon rounds of golf (his favorite game). And we'd bark at a few cars if they seemed extra suspicious. I also took him on routine vet visits and nail trimmings. I've also pet sit my friend's two cats, Iris and June, when my friend was away for several days. This included keeping the food and water bowls clean and filled, as well as playing with strings (Iris's favorite), and playing hide and seek (June's favorite).
Reviews
Andrew did a great job with my senior pup! They took frequent walks and Andrew communicated impeccably. I'd recommend him any time!
Thanks again for your help with my fur-babies!
Andrew is an all-around good guy. I trust him in my house, I trust him with my cats. I recommend him to anyone who needs their cats or dogs taken care of while they’re away.
Andrew is a life saver when I need someone to take care of my two cats when I'm away from home. The cats just love him (especially because he works on his computer a lot and the cats have a warm lap to curl up on for hours while he works). One of my cats is very old and I give her several supplements to help with joints and overall health - Andrew is diligent at giving her everything she needs each day. He's a super nice guy and very trustworthy. I am absolutely at ease knowing that he is with my fur babies when I'm gone. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
My particular modus operandi will obviously be at the discretion of the pet owner. But generally, I am comfortable feeding your fur-friend, taking them on walks/playing with them, and taking them for routine visits to the vet if necessary.
Information Andrew D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your pet has any special needs related to age or disability, as well as if there are any medications that need to be provided.
A typical day
I would love to engage with your pet. We could go on walks, play hide and seek, or fetch if they know how. Or if you have a cat, then we might play with strings, or chase. If your pet likes something else, I'm always willing to learn new tricks.

Availability
Currently, I'm switching from my former profession of teaching Physics, to my future profession of Data Sciece/AI. Right now this entails a lot of sitting and studying, which gives me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet.
