Information Andrew R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, energy, favorite activities, and any medical or dietary needs. I prefer dogs that play well with others, are good around children, and all pets should be vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Knowing this helps me provide a safe, fun, and comfortable experience tailored to them.

A typical day

A typical day includes feeding and exercise in the form of morning/afternoon walks on local trails, playtime in my fenced yard, and plenty of cuddles and attention. Pets can relax on cozy beds or snuggle on the furniture, play with toys, and socialize with my three friendly dogs. Every day is tailored to each pup’s needs.

Reliable Portland Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I’m a reliable Portland dog walker with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely enjoy working with dogs and building trust with each one, and I’m patient and calm with dogs that need a little extra time or attention. I provide safe, fun, and structured walks and am very comfortable handling multiple dogs while making sure each one gets the attention they need. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, exercised, and safe. You’ll receive updates and photos after every walk so you know exactly how things went. I’d love to meet your dog!

We are so fortunate to have found Andy and his lovely family on Rover! We boarded our 2 yo Frenchie Bertie overnight and she had a ball with his 3 Italian Greyhounds! Andy was super welcoming and communicative. We felt Bertie was in great hands with a family that seemed to love her as much as we do!

Andrew is a great dog walker. He is always on time and he genuinely adores dogs. My dogs hear his voice and immediately get SUPER excited. I've had him dogsit a few times and he sent tons of pictures and accomodated my dog's special needs.

Andrew is a mature and responsible person who has spent his whole life around dogs. He is very sensitive to their needs and gets along with them effortlessly. He is a reliable individual and presently has three dogs of his own. He has taken care of my dogs on several occasions. I would highly recommend him for any walking or day/overnight needs.

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.
