Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & Reliable Pet Care
I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I owned a guinea pig for seven years and have had my dog for seven years, giving me firsthand experience with the daily care, patience, and attention pets need to thrive. Beyond my own pets, I've cared for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs for neighbors, and while living in an apartment building I regularly looked after residents' pets. I also worked for a dog walking company for several years, where I walked a wide variety of dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a strong large breed, a senior dog, or a shy cat, I'm comfortable adapting my care to meet each pet's unique needs. I'm also experienced caring for multiple pets at once. I'm comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, using harnesses, walking strong pullers, giving treats, and carefully following any instructions you leave. I know every pet has their own routine, and I believe consistency and attention to detail help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. One thing that sets me apart is that I pay close attention to each animal's personality. If your pet is outgoing and playful, I'll happily give them lots of love, attention, and playtime. If they're nervous or shy, I'll take a calm, gentle approach, letting them come to me at their own pace so they feel secure and never overwhelmed. Building trust with every pet is always my priority. You can count on me to be dependable, arrive on time, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your pet like they're my own. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll contact you right away. I became a Rover sitter because I truly love animals, and nothing makes me happier than knowing they're receiving the care, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I offer both drop-in visits and house sitting, and I’m comfortable caring for pets either in my own home or in the client’s home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with full respect and care. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including cleaning up, locking doors, and respecting the home and privacy of the owner. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I prioritize each pet’s safety and routine by following all care instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, crate use, leash or harness requirements, or any other guidelines. My approach is detail-oriented and flexible based on each pet’s needs. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for. If I notice anything unusual with a pet’s behavior or any issue in the home, I contact the owner right away. Overall, I focus on being reliable, respectful, and attentive, making sure both pets and homes are cared for exactly as requested.
Ratings and reviews
Drew is one of the kindest people you’ll meet. Always eager to help and make people smile. His kindness isn’t limited to people, he loves animals and gives the utmost care to his own pets and those of his friends when he cares for them. He is clean, organised, and responsible so one can be rest assured that your pets are in the best of hands if Drew is attending to your animal. A true gem of a person!
Drew is one of the most responsible and dependable people I know, and I would trust him to care for any pet. He's patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. He understands that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and he takes the time to make sure they're comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away, Drew approaches everything with care and reliability. He's someone who takes commitments seriously, communicates well, and can be counted on to treat every pet as if it were his own. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Drew to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter or walker.
Drew is the best! We hired him to sit for our dog Runner. Drew is super responsive and genuinely easy to work with. He is kind, reliable, and thoughtful, which are non-negotiable for us when having someone in our home and trusting them with Runner. I’d absolutely recommend Drew to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.
Drew is a great friend, and he’s very caring and kind. I have no doubt that he would provide the proper care and be attentive towards any pet that’s under his supervision.
Drew has walked my energetic 3-year-old goldendoodle several times, and Benji comes back from every walk calm and worn out in the best way. He handles Benji’s high energy with real patience, and dogs clearly gravitate toward his calm, caring style. Always on time, always dependable. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can adjust my availability as needed to provide reliable pet care and typically handle up to three visits per day depending on timing and location. I have reliable transportation and can travel within approximately 5 miles of my location, allowing me to maintain consistent and timely visits. I’m able to offer both steady weekly availability and flexibility for on-demand requests. My focus is on making scheduling easy while providing dependable, attentive care for every pet.
