Highlights
Pet care experience
Part-time dad and animal lover
I've absolutely loved the experience that I've had boarding dogs through Rover over the past two years. I share custody of my three children that live with me part-time, and when it's worked out for a pet to stay with us here, it has been an amazing experience. It's helped my children learn about animals, responsibility, and how to care for others. When the children are not here, having a pet has been a blessing. It gives me someone to care for and to spend time with when I'm not working. I work full-time, but my current position has very flexible hours, and is only about 10 minutes away from my home. I like to come home for lunch and a walk. Dogs love my fenced-in back yard! It offers privacy so if your dog doesn't need to interact with others it's a perfect fit. Most dogs love sniffing around, chasing the occasional squirrel or bird, or chasing a ball and getting some fun zoomies. My neighborhood has poop stations around the neighborhood, a wooded path next to a creek, and my neighbors are very respectful to other pets. They're used to me walking around with different dogs and if we need to keep distance, it's not a problem. Otherwise, we have a lot of very friendly dogs in the neighborhood to meet, if that sounds fun. Over the years with Rover, I've had many different types of dogs stay with my family. Big, small, young and old. The most important thing is to make sure your pet is a good fit for my home. I want them to enjoy their time while they're away from their family. I've had plenty of experience in my life caring for others, so I know you'll be able to rest easy. <3

Ratings and reviews
Andrew is an outstanding host! He took care of our dog Noodle with so much love, patience, and thoughtfulness. He also accepted our request last minute and picked up Noodle from another sitter on Rover as we had to extend our trip and the other sitter wasn’t available to continue sitting. He was super proactive with updates via text, photos, and some video. We will definitely count on Andrew on the future. Thank you!
Andrew was absolutely wonderful! He sent me multiple pictures of my fur baby every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. He knew I was a little nervous about being away from her, and he went above and beyond to reassure me and calm my nerves. He even took her to dinner with him (after asking me if it was okay) so she wouldn’t have to stay home alone, which meant so much to me. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her and treated her like one of his own. I could tell she was in great hands, and I truly appreciated the love, care, and attention he gave her. I know she enjoyed her stay with him because when I went to pick her up, she kept walking over to Andrew for pets. I will definitely book with him again!
Andrew was great at communicating throughout the process. He asked all the right questions in the beginning. He took care of my dog for a full week. His kids were very respectful and responsible with my 5 year old English cocker. She was tired, in a good way when I got her back. I would definitely recommend Andrew to a friend.
Was able to take short notice, My dog liked him and his family. My dog usually has trouble eating but was able to get him to eat. Would board him there again. Thanks for your help!!
Andrew is a fantastic pet sitter! I highly recommend him for your pet boarding needs. Andrew took such good care of my dog, Holly, she immediately took to him and I'm pretty sure she's in love with him LOL. You can tell Andrew really loves dogs, he sent me numerous photos and videos of them on walks and playing in the backyard. His neighborhood is really nice and quiet and I know she enjoyed all the walks they took. I have already booked Andrew to board Holly during my next work trip and hope to have him board Holly on an ongoing basis.
as always, Andrew has been amazing. This time he got to watch our other dog since the one that used to stay with him when we travel has since passed. I loved all the updates (both pictures and videos) and loved how he took to her routine quickly. We're so happy we lucked out in finding a sitter who is kind and caring for our 4-legged babies.

Schedule
I work full-time at a job with flexible hours, and is 10 minutes away. I like to come home during lunchtime for a walk. I will let you know up-front if my kiddos will be with me, and we'll make sure it's a good fit for everyone prior to booking the stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I only board for one family at a time. I only feed your pet what you provide or what you approve of during their stay. My backyard is fenced-in with a tall privacy fence. I have room for a crate in my kitchen if your dog requires one, or I can confine them to the kitchen with a baby gate if that's a better fit. Otherwise, if you think they'll do well with more room, I'm happy to let them roam downstairs while I'm away. With my experience as a father and a sitter, I know how to handle emergencies.
A typical day
I love to be outside. I need it more than your dog, lol. But I like to go on a short walk in the morning, take a break at lunch, and in the afternoon/evening go on a longer walk. I like to have someone to take care of and so having a dog around the house is wonderful. I like to go out into the backyard to play fetch or let them have zoomies. If they know different commands, I love to let them earn their treats that way :)
