Availability

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. After being laid off from Amazon after 10 years, I am enjoying this time to focus on other pursuits. Aside from caring for my 5-year-old son and managing a few side projects, I have ample time and availability to dedicate to pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that all areas are pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards and providing a clean, secure space. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. I also focus on building trust with the pets, using positive reinforcement and plenty of affection to make them feel at ease. Whether in my home or the client’s, I strive to create a loving and safe environment for every pet in my care.

Information Andrew G. would like to know about your pet

If they will be coming to my house, it's important that your pet will be comfortable with a loud, but generally well-behaved 5 year old.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with plenty of love, care, and fun activities. We start the day with a morning walk to get some fresh air and exercise, tailored to the pet’s energy level and needs. After breakfast, we might engage in some interactive playtime with their favorite toys or a fun game of fetch in the yard or local park. For pets that enjoy socializing, I arrange safe and supervised playdates with other friendly pets in the neighborhood. During the day, I ensure they have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks and keep their feeding schedule consistent. In the afternoon, I often incorporate some mental stimulation activities like puzzle toys or training exercises to keep their minds sharp and engaged. If the pet enjoys it, we might go for another walk or spend some quiet time relaxing and cuddling. Throughout the day, I provide plenty of affection and attention, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure. I always tailor activities to the individual pet’s preferences and energy levels, making sure they have a fun and fulfilling day while in my care.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and lifelong passion for animals. I have had dogs and cats throughout my life and have been informally taking care of them for over 20 years. Being in my 40s, I bring a high level of responsibility and maturity to pet care. Additionally, I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, ensuring they receive the appropriate care and attention they need.

Andrew is our absolute go-to, and we truly cannot say enough good things about him. He has watched our two dachshunds, Annie and Rosa, on multiple occasions, and he always does a phenomenal job. He just 'gets' their specific routines and little quirks, is so patient, and manages their needs effortlessly. We implicitly trust him and genuinely love having him as our sitter.

Andrew is a dream of a dog sitter, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found him. We have two dogs with very particular needs - our older one has a delicate back, and our younger one has a long list of special needs and medications. Andrew is completely unflappable and accommodates all of their routines effortlessly, always ensuring they are perfectly safe. He is communicative, highly flexible, genuinely caring, and oh so patient with them. Andrew gives us total peace of mind and the dogs always have such a blast with him. Thank you Andrew!!
