RN who loves caring for animals too
Pet care experience
Just started a new job- available for drop-in services between 6pm to 10pm M-Th. Can do overnight stay Fri-Sat. Available throughout Sat-Sun for drop-ins or in-home sitting. I’m a 33 year old registered nurse who spent the last decade working in the ICU. Recently, I have transitioned out of the hospital to work with disabled children in the public school setting. While caring for animals is very different than caring for people, I share this to build a level of trust from the start. With me, you can absolutely count on the high-level professionalism, integrity, kindness, and communication you’d expect from a licensed caregiver to ensure the well-being of a family member. In this case, instead of children at my day job, it’s your loved pet. I have lived with and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with a multitude of cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, and various other small animals. Prior to working with Rover, I’ve cared for (and walked) a wide variety of dogs and cats of friends and family members. This includes small hyper dogs, timid dogs, large dogs, and even a home that contained six dogs of various sizes, ages, and health needs. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, someone who is skilled at professional communication, and (God forbid) someone who has the instincts to avoid or handle a rare emergency — you’ve found him. Reach out to me with any questions or to start a dialogue! I am not able to provide boarding a dog at my home due to restrictions. Anything other than that I’d be excited to take care of for you. I can provide a temporary home for your cat (if you feel they would do well with my gentle kitty, Maya) and I can travel to provide all other services to any dogs, cats, or other small animals in your family. I’m currently unavailable at my school nursing job in San Leandro from 9am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and considering me to support your loved pets.

Drew is such a kind soul and a true animal person. We had him sit with our dog Benji when we had to be out of town and we never for a moment had any concerns. He sent us pictures often and we were absolutely reassured that Benji was being well taken care of. When we came home, there weren’t pee and poop stains to found anywhere assuring us that Benji got walked enough and so didn’t have any accidents. We love Drew!
Andrew is a kind and loving person, a natural caregiver, and a fanatic for spending time with animals. I've known him for over a year, and in that time he's greeted every dog/cat/squirrel with unconditional love and respect. If I ever needed to trust him with taking care of my pet, I'd hand over my keys without any hesitation. He is an amazing candidate and I fully endorse him for this position.
I have known Andrew for over 10 years and was roommates with him for 2 of those years. He is a kind, caring, and responsible person who is absolutely great with animals. He cares deeply for people and animals of all walks of life, and recognizes the importance animals can be to people's spirits and mental health. When we were roommates, I got to see how lovingly he took care of his cat and through out the years I've known him, he has always been wonderful with dogs. I know he will put care and love into his work as a dog sitter. I absolutely recommend Andrew as a dog caregiver at Rover. He will be a wonderful addition to the lives of those he comes in contact with through dog caregiving.
I lived with Andrew when we were travel nursing and I had my two dogs with me. Anytime I had to work Andrew was there for my pups! To take them out to go to the bathroom, make sure they were fed, take them for long walks to run off some energy, or just snuggle with them on the couch to make sure they felt all the love! My dogs loved Andrew and got just as excited to see him when he came home as they did when I came home! I couldn't have asked for a better roommate and friend to help with my fur babies through our travels! I highly recommend Andrew if you are needing any extra help with your animal of any kind!
