Pet care experience
FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat.
Reviews
Andrew is fantastic! We booked him to help with my mom’s dog while she recovers from hip surgery. He instantly bonded with her dog and has taken excellent care of him. Could not recommend him any higher. 5 stars +++
Andrew is fantastic. We have an energetic Husky mix. Andrew has done a great job with our pup on her walks. I feel confident knowing she is well cared for in our absence.
We’d like to recommend Andrew for his dog walking services. He took very good care of our aging boxers in the scorching heat twice a day for three straight weeks.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.
Information Andrew G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your doggos. What kind of scratches they like? What are the favorite ways to exercise? Favorite treats? Are there any training routines you’d like me to help reinforce?
A typical day
Here’s a typical day: My dogs are both different. One loves to play and the other just wants cuddles. All dogs are different, let me know what your dogs like. I am an active walker, my dogs get at least a mile a day. And yes, I walk two huskies, so I can handle pullers no problem!

Availability
As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss.
