Pawsitively 2nd Mile Pet Service

Pet care experience

I absolutely love animals, and people too. I have been great with pets since I was little. I've had my own hamsters, parakeets, hermit crabs, a chinchilla. Growing up I have often house/pet sat for my neighbors, family, coworkers, and friends while they were away or busy with work. I recently rescued a husky from the ARL. I have 2 aquariums as well. One is a Goldfish tank with 2 Comets, 2 Fancies, 2 Bristlenose Plecos and 10 Nerite Snails of various types. The other is a plant tank with various shrimp. The gold shield on my profile signifies I paid for the extended background check. The diploma hat signifies I have completed all of Rover’s trainings. Pets that have been under my care include small to large dogs, cats, caged animals, aquariums, & terrariums. I can handle requests with multiple pets at once. My farm animal/pet experience includes goats, horses, pigs, and chickens. I also have experience with exotic pets. While living in Alaska for four years, one of my regulars had multiple pets including a half-wolf/half-husky. I have also taken care of an African Grey Parrot. Pets that are not normally good with people, or ‘trouble’ pets, I am good with as well. Additional rates for my services may apply. Rover will automatically calculate these for you. Examples include additional pets, puppies, baths, and extra time. Additional rates I add manually if they are applicable: + $5.00 - one time first-time client fee + $0.585 x ? - mileage at the current IRS rate for any services over 1 mile is added for both ways. This fee is potentially reduced or waived if there are multiple pets.

Andrew was very accommodating to my last minute pet sitting request. My dogs were immediately comfortable with him during the meet and greet. The rover report cards were very thorough and he made sure to upload pictures at each visit. I will definitely be contacting him again for future dog sitting!

Amazing dog sitter! Andrew was awesome! He came over to meet our 3 pups and check out our place prior to booking, which we greatly appreciated. Our dogs were immediatly comfortable with him! He was super flexible with visit changes and kept us updated the entire stay, he even sent videos and pictures! We would 100% recommend Andrew and are so glad that we found someone who we trust to watch our pups. Thanks Andrew!

Unless your animal is caged and is easily transportable, I am currently not able to offer any boarding nor daycare services in my residence. I am happy to adhere to whatever needs your pet has while taking care of them in their own home. I have experience with homes that have invisible fences, regular fences, or no fences. If you have a pool I'd be happy to check on that as well. I have experience with pools and jacuzzies too. I will stick to your pet's normal routines and will love them as my own.

Information Andrew S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs your pet(s) may have ahead of time. Especially if your dog has any trauma or triggers in its past. For example, if it doesn't like someone wearing hats, I will gladly leave mine at home. Or if I need to avoid trails with bikes during our walks. Thanks for reading my profile in its entirety! I look forward to hearing how I can help you care for your pet(s).

A typical day

I love to go on walks and explore. As long as your dog is down for it, I have many places we can go. There are a few good dog parks in the area, dog-friendly trails, or we can just walk around their neighborhood. If the dog is high energy and good with bikes I can keep them leashed and take them for a run while using my bike. I also enjoy playing fetch with their favorite toy or frisbee.
