Pet care experience
(I specialize in toy breeds, but I sit dogs up to 20-25lbs [NO DOGS OVER 25lbs]. NO DOGS UNDER 1 years old] Potty trained is a must, dogs must be fixed! I also require a meet and greet well before booking, no exceptions. Thank you.) My number one goal is to create an environment where people will have 100% peace of mind that their pets are being taken care of safely and lovingly. I have lived with an animal since I was born. MD born and raised, I recently moved back after living in Las Vegas for several years. I spent the better part of 2015 dog-sitting in Las Vegas with a Rover-experienced friend and neighbor. I would often coordinate anywhere from 3 to 6 dogs myself (whether house sitting, or having the dogs stay with me). Dogs seem to be naturally attracted to me. I treat dogs with full respect and allow them to be themselves which immediately gets them involved with me on a positive note. I live in a house with a large yard, and I am home 24/7 which allows me to devote 100% attention and care to your dog. My care philosophy is centered around the basic idea that routines are very important for dogs, as it allows them to feel a sense of normalcy and stability. I am very good at creating or adhering to existing walking and feeding schedules. By minimizing deviations from your pet's existing routine, I minimize potential anxiety for both owner and pet, especially in cases where emergencies arise and you must suddenly find pet care. I communicate to animals on an equal level, never "talking down" and always using positive reinforcement. So I would love to host your treasured pets as long as needed, and I will treat them with lots of love and respect! ---------------------------------------------------- Dear Friends, This is what I do. I am dedicating my life to pet care, so you can be assured that I have no other desire than to be focused on the best possible service that I may offer to you and your pet. I highly value customer satisfaction. Whether you're a brand-new client, or you've been with me for a while, I value your honest opinion and feedback. Please let me know of any suggestions you have for me so that I may better serve you and always grow with your needs as a pet owner. Sincerely, Andrew V.

Thanks Andrew for taking good care of Meno while we were out of town, it made our trip more relax knowing that Meno was in good care
I highly recommend Andrew and his mom. Truly nice people. My boy (shih tzu, almost 14 years old) had an amazing stay with them while we were on vacations. I can’t thank them enough
Andrew is so awesome: caring, attentive and provides timely updates with photos. I can tear easy knowing my dog is with someone who really cares about him. Thanks Andrew!
Andrew is my definite go-to to watch my dog when traveling. He and his mom go out of their way to ensure that her stay is comfortable and that her typical daily schedule remains uninterrupted. She absolutely loves her time there and the fact that I can travel out of town with the knowledge that she is in capable and loving hands and care is invaluable. Andrew is simply a Godsend. No doubt about it!! 11/10 stars!!!!

Information Andrew E V. would like to know about your pet
Must be house trained! Although the occasional accident is understandable if it does happen. I like all breeds, but I get along best with small dogs such as Yorkies, Poodles, Bichons, Maltese ,etc. I prefer that your dog has paperwork which shows shots/vaccinations up to date. Dogs also need to be current on preventative flea/tick medications and must be flea/tick free!!
A typical day
Lots of walks around a large quiet suburban neighborhood. We usually will do a good daily 30 min workout of fetch at the tennis courts in the neighborhood park. Tug of war is my favorite indoor game if your dog is into that :) Your dog will pretty much have free run of the house!
