A pet lover, that pets love
Pet care experience
I’ve worked with dogs, in many capacities, my entire life. From raising, to rescuing, and caring for them I’ve always had a love for man’s best friend. I’ve yet to meet a dog that has been too much for me to handle. Even when working with “aggressive” dogs, they melt when we start playing. I’ve never been bit, past a playful puppy nibble, because though I don’t mind playing rough, I’m very respectful of boundaries as to not work them up too much. I love working with dogs with my whole heart, and can manage to keep the leash of even the biggest ones. I myself have a large stature and can handle some major pulling. I love cats as well, I have one of my own and him and I are nearly inseparable when I’m home. I will respect your home, your pets and your rules, and am able to handle any challenges presented to me. I’d love the opportunity to work with your pet.
Reviews
I’ve known Andrew for many years and can vouch that he’s a great dog sitter. He has always shown great enthusiasm over any dog’s related topics and proves that he’s well capable of taking care of one. I’ve seen him interact with many dogs, each time he handles them with ease and care, as well as mentioning facts about dogs. We always joke around at the fact that he’s like a dog magnet, always attracting nearby canine with his friendly aura. Overall, I believe that there is no other person better and qualify for this job than him.
Andrew is great responsible and loving dog caregiver because I know he owns a dog himself and loves him to death. Whenever he comes into contact to dogs he happily plays with them even though their barking scares me. He is very playful and energetic with them as I have seen him play with my husky and other dogs. I believe Andrew would be the greatest dog sitter.
When we had to go out of town for 2 nights and our regular dog sitter had to back out, Andrew saved us! He loves our boy and our boy loves him too!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do a lot of work with my cat to socialize him with my roommates dog and other cats, animals and humans. He just happens to be quite receptive. I’m currently harness training and crate training him as well, slightly less receptive, mainly because it’s very new to him (I adopted him a little older) I have no formal education in animal training nor claim to, however, I’d be more than happy to continue training routines you have in place for your pets.
Information Andrew F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know, relative size and temperament. The breed doesn’t affect my willingness to care for them at all, although nice to know, I love all breeds. Dogs are dogs, and I’ll care for any and all to the best capacity I am able.
A typical day
I love walking all over, if in the area, I have no hesitations with going on long walks to the park or hikes through different areas. I can play with, and aid in the exercise specific to the routine set by you
