Availability

I build my own schedule currently, so just shoot me a message to work out care for your pets! My availability is usually open for house-sitting and drop-ins as my work is almost exclusively done on the computer. I am not available for doggy day-care or boarding at the moment, but am available to drop in, dog walk, and house-sit as a trustworthy, dependable go-to 😃. There's nothing I love more than taking a doggy on a great, big adventure.

Safety, trust & environment

An agreement and written instructions are always requested from the client (as simple as a text with care instructions). I want to be very clear on my expectations of care while I am with your pet, they're a family member. I have dealt with elderly pets, pets with behavioral issues, and other types of animals so nothing is much of a surprise, and care can always be adjustments made depending on the situation! As far as a general answer: My dog, Reese (Rottweiler Mix), is just about the happiest guy in the world! He loves going for runs, is walked every day, fed yummy treats, and is given so many snuggles he doesn't know what to do with all of them! I hope that can ease your mind, and if you want to chat any further, just send me a message!

Information Andrew M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any behavioral issues, feeding or medical needs, or any other special/pertinent info regarding your pet. My dog does have a slight issue with other larger alpha males, and there is an elderly/disabled household member living with me, so I am not able to board/doggy day care.

A typical day

A typical day will be rousting the beasts, making sure everyone is comfortable/gone potty, and then (depending on feeding schedule), they are fed! Afterwards, we go for a walk or any activity they are used to. If it's a nice day, we can even head out to hit one of the trails! Returning, the doggies will get their treats. Now it is time for a little rest while I do some work, and/or letting them free play if they have a yard to do so. Dinner time rolls around a bit later and usually I will spend the evening with more exercise (depending on energy levels), snuggling, light play, or letting the dogs relax.

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong pet owner, and experienced pet-sitter. I have house-sat and pet-sat for 4+years now, and have found a knack for developing quick, loving bonds with furry friends just like they're used to. There's really nothing like the peace of mind that your animals are under empathetic, kind, and animal-oriented care while ou are away.

Andrew is fantastic with our shy cats and super reliable. He has great communication and sends us lots of cute photos of our girls! We'll definitely have Andrew watch our kitties again!

Andrew did a good job of communicating prior to the booking and during the time he was with Bloom. We look forward to working with him in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

This was our second booking and our fur babies were over the moon that he was coming to stay with them. Just like the first time, the communication was great and provided the comfort that allowed us to relax away from home!

It had been a long time since we trusted anyone outside our family with our fur babies. We could not be more pleased with the care Andy provided and the comfort he gave, knowing he was taking care of our animals. He is kind, a great communicator, and clearly has a love for all creatures. Highly recommend!
