I’m currently not working, which means pet care isn’t just a part of my day—it’s my day. With a flexible schedule, I can easily weave walks, playtime, and extra visits into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring every pet I care for gets the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by providing a nurturing, individualized experience tailored to their environment and needs. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe and engaging space with structured routines that include regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I ensure that each pet feels comfortable and at ease, with ample opportunities for exercise and social interaction. In a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to keep the pet’s day as familiar as possible. I work closely with pet owners to understand any special instructions, dietary needs, or behaviors so that I can maintain consistency and provide a secure, loving environment. My goal is always to make each pet feel like a valued member of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

Information Andrew R. would like to know about your pet

Before we begin, I like to gather some key details about your pet to ensure they receive the best, most personalized care. This includes information about their daily routine, dietary needs, any medications or allergies, and details about their personality and behavior. Knowing their favorite activities or any particular quirks also helps me create a comfortable, familiar environment right from the start. Additionally, I ask for emergency contact and veterinary details so I’m fully prepared to handle any situation. This thorough understanding of your pet’s needs means I can offer a safe, loving, and stress-free experience tailored just for them.

A typical day

For new pets, I start with gentle, exploratory activities like leashed walks, hikes, or visits to nearby parks to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Once I’ve built a good rapport over multiple visits, we can expand our adventures to include fun outings at parks, beach trips, and other stimulating environments tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level.

We really appreciated Andrew being able to stop in and take Copper out for a bit. He helped tire out our high energy dog and Copper loved him!

Andrew was amazing with Floki and andjusted his schedule to later because of it being too hot for my senior dog.

Andrew was a fantastic walker. Each day Leeroy waited in front of the window. When Andrew walked up to the house, Leeroy went "nuts." He couldn't wait to get to Andrew and go for his walk! Thank you Andrew!

Andrew is a wonderful dog walker. He took great care of my dogs while on vacation. My dogs are not easy and Andrew handled them beautifully. I would hire him again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
