Pet care experience

As a pet owner, I understand the feelings of anxiety that come with leaving your pet in someone else's hands. As a result, my pet care is extremely personalized to the wants and needs of my clients. I keep open communication and provide frequent check-ins. Wherever you go, you will be able to relax knowing your pet is under my care. I believe that all pets are different - there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to pet care. I provide personalized care for each pet based on their unique personality, preferences, and needs. As a former lifeguard, I am no stranger to the pressure of being responsible for the lives of others. It has also provided me with the skills to identify signs of danger and distress. I have cared for a wide variety of pets. Aside from dogs and cats, I have also cared for various rodents and birds. This diverse experience has given me valuable insights into the specific requirements and care considerations for different types of animals. I understand the importance of clear and open communication with pet owners. I provide regular updates on their pets' well-being, behavior, and activities. I am responsive to any concerns or questions, ensuring that pet owners have peace of mind while they are away. I am known for being reliable and trustworthy in my pet care services. Pet owners can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and committed to providing the highest level of care for their beloved pets.

Andrew is a trustworthy house and pet sitter! He did a great job taking care of our dog Louie, staying at our home while we were away for 10 days. Louie was a very happy pup! Andrew is great at communicating while on the job. We will book with him again!

Andrew cared for our dog and cat while we were away, and I appreciated his frequent communications and attention to details- this was very reassuring. He is very calm and our animals responded well to him. We will use him again the next time we travel!

Here's an overview of how I provide care: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Initial Consultation: I gather important information about the pets during an initial meeting, noting their routines, dietary preferences, exercise needs, medical conditions, and care instructions. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Medication Administration: I administer medications as instructed, documenting each dosage and time. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Communication: I maintain open communication with the client, providing updates on pets' well-being and addressing any concerns or questions. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Security and Privacy: I respect privacy and maintain confidentiality, treating the client's home and belongings with care.

Information Andrew D. would like to know about your pet

If you feel any of the following information is pertinent to the care of your pet, please let me know: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Medical History: This may include general information such as allergies and current medications. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Behavioral Traits: This may include comfort level with strangers, interactions with other dogs or animals, and any fears or triggers they may have. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Daily Routine: This may include feeding schedule, exercise requirements, preferred walking routes, and any specific training commands they respond to. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ▶ Preferences and Comforts: This may include the dog's likes and dislikes, favorite toys, treats, and activities.

A typical day

Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that the dogs I watch have a joyful and fulfilling experience while you're away. I adapt activities to their individual preferences, always considering their safety, health, and happiness. ‎ ‎ This may include: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Scenic Walks - letting your dog enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Off-Leash Adventures - if the client permits, I may take the dog to designated off-leash areas. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Puzzles and Games - I always advocate for mentally stimulating activities to keep pups entertained.
