I’m your pet’s vacation!
Pet care experience
! If you want to spa vacation for your dog, this is where to bring them!! Air Tags!! As of December 2023 all dogs being boarded with me, wear an AirTag all day!! (I do take collars off at night, except by request.) I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My mother started me out early teaching me how to care for animals and all living things. I have had my own dogs for over 30 years. I have boarded and cared for 100’s of dogs and cats now, at my place and as a house sitter. When you go on vacation; I’m there to make sure your fut babies get a great vacation too! House sitting can also include plant care, dog walks, bird care, repairs, landscaping and cleaning. Please ask about these services!
Reviews
Thanks for keeping Bear in such good shape!
Andrew was fantastic with my shy rescue pup. He is quite perceptive with pups, and he was very communicative with me throughout her stay. He went above and beyond what I'd expected, and I'd definitely work with him again in the future.
Andrew was very attentive with our 2 dogs and cat. He communicated the perfect amount and was sure to follow their routine so they were comfortable. He gave an extra detailed report on how our anxious dog behaved as well. Definitely recommend.
Our pup had a wonderful weekend with Andrew! He’s responsible, very communicative, and clearly loves animals. Would absolutely book again and recommend him to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment
There is a fenced yard, and a natural area close by where I take long walks. I prefer to use the food that people provide for their own pets although I can provide food for an extra charge. Sometimes while house sitting I’ll bring the dogs to my place for a “night out”! I do like to meet the dog ahead of time so that they understand that I'm one of their people, but they always love me. I am a dog person 100%. I do have a dog and she generally does come with me house sitting, it’s always a great time! Service area varies ending on service. I can housesit within 25 miles of the St. John’s neighborhood. Other services are limited to a 15 mile radius. You don’t have to worry about doing the math. I will let you know. There is often overlap of dogs in both house sitting and boarding situations.

Information Andrew G. would like to know about your pet
How well they play with other dogs, allergies and health issues, anxieties, favorite songs. I like to know their real energy level needs, and their favorite foods.
A typical day
We play catch, tug, and take several walks. Sometimes a trip to the farmers market, Forest park or the hardware store! We go to Cathedral park, Pier Park, Columbia and a few secret places… (shhh!.)

Availability
I work from home at least 50% of the time, often 100% of the time. I can take care of pets any day of the week and any day of the year. There are no children in my home so there are so there are no real other issues with animals or scheduling.
