Pet care experience
I have been sitting/walking through Rover and it has been a thoroughly rewarding experience meeting and working with a wide range of dogs and all their various needs! I have had ten years caring for Frank (a fear aggressive cocker spaniel mix who was too cute for his own good) and Beans (a very energetic five pound chihuahua). Currently, I have Marceline (a three year old black and white cow cat who also likes to go for walks) and I have over twenty three years caring for cats. I love all animals and they seem to like me as well. I know your special furry friends are important and I want you to know they're in good hands while you're at work, on vacation, etc.

Andrew was great! He was very responsive and flexible with his schedule. He sent lots of great photos on walks and playing with my dog.
Andrew was great! Lucy took lots of fun hikes and loved her time with him. And we loved every photo update. We will definitely use him again!
Andy stayed at my home and watched my two pit bulls over labor day weekend. From the first time we contacted him to ask about a meet-and-greet I was impressed with how quickly he responded and set up an appointment to meet myself and the dogs, even with relatively short notice. He informed me ahead of time about his work schedule for the weekend, which was not an issue but I appreciated the thought. He showed up to the meet-and-greet with grain-free treats, even though I didn't mention their dietary restrictions before he came. He was also very patient and understanding about their excitement upon meeting someone new- we are still working on their jumping behavior when people come over. We have a yard with a short fence that our dogs could easily jump if they saw cat or dog walking past the house. Our dogs can be dog-aggressive and neighbors on both sides of our home have dog-aggressive pets as well. So we needed a sitter who would be very responsible and diligent while our dogs were out in the yard. Everything went well while he was at my house with the dogs. He checked in frequently with pictures and videos of the dogs and I felt that they were well taken care of while my husband and I were away. Like most "pet parents" I am very protective over my dogs and it can be nerve-wracking leaving them with a sitter. But my husband and I will be very comfortable having Andy watch them again. From my experience he is a very reliable and responsible sitter and we greatly appreciated his help since we have only moved to the area in the last year and will need to rely on a sitter when we want to make the trip home.
Babies and animals love Andrew. I have introduced my mother's elderly Daschund to him and that dog does not like just anyone, but she loves him. My cats love him and he has watched them before when I went out of town. He is very gentle and kind with animals, and is passionate about their wellbeing.
