Love to watch both cats and dogs
Pet care experience
My family and I have raised a dog for well more than ten years. Since then I had watched my cousin's dog who then recommended me to his neighbor around the early summer of 2021 which is what gave me the idea to do it professionally and I've been doing so ever since! I now work at a cat boarding and grooming facility from about 9-5 and I usually have Saturday and another day of the week off. I put that I watch pets from only one household at a time but it would be more accurate to say that I am willing to watch only one at a time at your request. And I would certainly contact both owners to make sure that it is fine with both of them before booking for both of them if there is a conflicting schedule. I'm about twenty minutes away by dog walking pace from Hermann Park. As for my place of residence, there is a tall gate, so the environment is completely safe. There is also plenty of room to run around in the front yard.
Reviews
Andrew is very responsive and communicative. However, I did not rebook due to the uncertainty of the environment. At first, I thought my pup was going to be in a house with yard but when I got there, she was only going to be in a back section that is not kept up and had a lingering smell. There was broken glass near the front door and dirty clothes scattered along the floor. I did not receive any picture updates until asked and decided to leave work early to pickup my pup due to the uncertainty about dropping her off in the first place.
Andrew is the best sitter !! He so attentive to our Ginger! Extremely accommodating and goes the extra mile. He has helped Ginger heal from a hot spot with his vigilance and giving her all the attention she craves. I have used Andrew close to 2 years and highly recommend him !
I was really excited to leave Duke with a “star” sitter as my regulars were out of town and could not watch him. Though I was grateful that Andrew could watch Duke for our last minute trip, I was pretty disappointed with the communication, pictures, and most of all my dog’s smell when I picked him up. I had just bathed him and groomed him a couple of hours before dropping him off. He spent two nights with Andrew and I picked him up 7 hours before the scheduled pickup time and we could not believe that Duke could smell so terribly in just two nights after bathing. I’m not sure why he smelled bad, Andrew stated that they were at home most of the time and went for a really late walk one night. I will not know what truly happened, who Duke was with or how Andrew’s living conditions are but I will not be leaving Duke with Andrew again.

There is a tall gate surrounding the yard with plenty of room to run around in, so the environment is completely safe. Again, I only accept one client at a time to ensure that yours has as comfortable a time as possible (except for the previously mentioned exceptions).

Information Andrew H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any medical needs your pet may have. Any other information you may find unique to your pet may be useful as well. With this information everything should go great!
A typical day
I'll do what I can to figure out the pet's personality, what they like and how to entertain and reward their good behavior. There's a pretty good neighborhood for walking in and we will do so every day before or after work.

I now work at a cat boarding and grooming facility from about 9-5 and I usually have Saturday and another day of the week off. I am willing to watch pets from one household at a time if your pet requires being alone. I'm about twenty minutes away by dog walking pace from Hermann Park and I like to go there whenever I can with the dogs to get some good exercise.
