Kind, fun, affectionate caregiver
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Andrew! I'm 31 years old, and just moved to Spring Valley to continue my military career. I am looking for work as a dog sitter to supplement my income. My wife and I have cared for personal pets and done pet sitting for friends for many years. We love dogs! I can be laid back if your dog enjoys downtime, or attentive if they’re playful and energetic. I'm adaptable to all different types, breeds, and personalities of dogs. I've owned and cared for several dogs over the years, and given them my utmost love and affection; you should expect no less! I have spent most of my time with small and medium - sized dogs, including my terrier mix Charlie, and my sister's beagle, Cora. I am also unafraid of larger dogs, and maintain a cool demeanor with even the rowdiest of pets. I look forward to meeting you in person, as well as being formally introduced to your best friends! I hope and anticipate they will become mine, too.
Reviews
Andrew watched my two small dogs for over a week in our home while we were out of the country. They are both senior dogs and one takes multiple medications, which made me nervous about leaving them. Andrew was warm, professional, and responsive. He prepared questions to ask about them to make sure he gave good care, he talked with me ahead of time about my thoughts and concerns about watching them, and he followed through with what he said. I think he even left the house cleaner than when he arrived. I am thoroughly impressed and will DEFINITELY book him again. The biggest recommendation I can give, however, is that my dogs didn't seem to miss us at all and were perfectly calm when we got home. Do yourself a favor and book him. You won't have to worry about a thing.
Andrew was great! This was my first time using this service for pet sitting/drop in visits, so I was initially apprehensive about giving someone my keys and having them stop by my apartment to take care of my dog, Malia, and my cat. I did not worry with Andrew, as he was very responsive to texts, and sent me photos and updates of both of my pets daily! Malia loved spending time with Andrew, and it was clear that Andrew really loves animals. When I came home, both pets were happy and healthy, and the apartment was still clean and in good shape. I can't recommend Andrew enough, and will definitely use his services again in the future. :)
Andrew is a responsible and charismatic caregiver. When a last minute family emergency required me to leave town for the weekend, Andrew was prompt in letting me know he'd love to watch after Lucy, my 6 year old terrier. He met and exceeded all my expectations, from keeping with her dietary restrictions, to taking her on long, playful walks (he showed me pictures when I picked her up! ), and even administering her medications. I cannot recommend Andrew more highly as a dog sitter.
