I spoil my cat James! I have adjusted my balcony in my apartment to make sure he gets plenty of time to bird watch with me while I enjoy my morning coffee and book! Figuring out his unique personality and how to take care of him based on his needs was important, as he is very particular with the types of toys he likes! I also loved getting him a water fountain instead of a bowl to make sure James gets enough water! All that being said I want to make sure I spoil your dog or cat just as good as I care for my James!

Information Andrew S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any unique needs your pet has as I have no preference! I just want to make sure they get the specialized care they need and deserve!

A typical day

I love to play with pets! My dog back home in Texas loves to play fetch and my cat now loves his string toy and fuzzy rainbow balls to play fetch (when I got him, I did not know cats could play fetch!) Keeping dogs and cats happy with play is so much fun!

Pet care experience

I have experience with senior dogs as I took care of my own senior dog while I was in high school, so I am aware of the unique love and care that they need and appreciate. I also love working with high energy dogs as my family dog back home Toby has unlimited energy for play, so I would love to help your dog get their fill while you’re away! I also now have a cat of my own (shout out James) and I absolutely love taking care of cats and their unique quirks! I would love to take care of your wonderful cat so they are comfortable and taken care of while you’re away from home!

Andrew was wonderful with Lola. He gave detailed reports each time he visited and sent multiple pictures. She was very happy to see us when we got home, but she was in great hands with Andrew!!!

To say the least, Andrew is an amazing soul with a heart of gold and a passion for animals. I've known him for years and there's no one I'd trust more to care for my dog while I'm away. He is patient, responsible, caring, energetic, and respectful - all characteristics that make him the right person to entrust with your home and pets. He treats my dog as if she was his own and he will do the same with your loved ones. You will never regret trusting Andrew!

Andrew S. has been an animal lover for as long as I’ve known him. He grew up caring for two dogs and a cat, and he currently has a cat of his own that he takes amazing care of. He’s incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive to animals’ needs. With his dogs, he made sure they were exercised and happy every day — walking them twice daily and spending extra time playing fetch and giving them attention. He’s also very thoughtful when it comes to cleanliness and pet care routines. He keeps his cat’s litter box exceptionally clean and always makes sure fresh water and a clean feeding area are maintained. Andrew is dependable, kind, and genuinely enjoys being around animals. I would absolutely trust him to provide safe, loving care and excellent service to any pet parent using Rover.
