Hi folks. I am currently in Spain working as a language assistant and am looking for a housesitting arrangement in the Asheville/Hendersonville area for this summer. I will only charge a fee if there is a pet involved. Otherwise, I think it is a fair exchange. The website forces me to charge at least $15 but we can work around that. Please let me know if you think I may be a good fit for you.

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to offer the service of caring for pets in my own home as I am in a transitional period and only available for the summer. I greatly value your home, pets and your trust and behave accordingly.

Information Andrew S. would like to know about your pet

Most importantly is a summary of the medical background and/or any medications that need to be administered under my care. Also some behavioral tendencies are good to know in advance, but oftentimes it's just a matter of spending time with the dog and establishing a good, trusting relationship and discovering his or her particular needs.

A typical day

I prefer less traveled trails over dog parks, especially if I'm unfamiliar with the dog. Overall, I'm always in favor of making time for walks and outdoor activities. That seems to keep the dog in good spirits. Although some prefer to be idle at certain times, so to an extent it's up to his/her mood.

Responible and excited to start!

Pet care experience

I've always had an affinity for animals and an easy time winning their trust. They have amazing instincts! My daughter is involved with animal rescue and is cheering me on. Through her and from sitting for friends, I have experience with dogs and cats of varying breeds, backgrounds and behavioral traits. I am often called upon when my friends need a sitter so figured I may as well go rover with it.

Over Christmas, I had the pleasure of entrusting my extremely active German Shepherd puppy to Andy, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and professionalism provided. From the moment I reached out for his services to the end of the sitting period, every interaction was marked by warmth, reliability, and genuine concern for my dog's well-being. This is especially noteworthy because the weather was so cold during that period, our well froze and he did not have water for the majority of his stay at our house with our energetic puppy. Andy spent his own money for bottled water to keep our puppy hydrated and did not ask for reimbursement. Andy demonstrated a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs, ensuring that my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the entire stay. His attention to detail was evident from the personalized care plan he crafted based on my dog's routines, preferences, and special requirements. It was incredibly reassuring to know that my dog was in capable hands, receiving the same level of care and affection as if we were at home. Communication was seamless and frequent, with Andy providing regular updates, photos, and even videos of my dog enjoying his time under Andy’s care. This thoughtful gesture not only alleviated any worries I had but also allowed me to feel connected and involved in my dog's experience while we were away. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Andy to any pet owner seeking a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy caregiver for their furry family members. His dedication to providing exceptional service goes above and beyond, and I am immensely grateful for the peace of mind he afforded me during my time away. I will not hesitate to book his services again in the future, knowing that my dog will be in the best hands possible.

Initially, I had asked my cousin to care for my pets while I was away and then I found out that he did not intend to spend the night at our house which was not okay for me because one of my cat’s was sick and is very prone to upper respiratory infections that will keep him from eating at times. I immediately reached out to Andy only a few days before leaving town for a whole week and he was quick to respond and let me know he’d be able to watch over my kitties while I was away. We recently moved in with my mom who has her own two cats, so we had a total of 4 cats that were still working on getting along. Andy made sure the cats had shared time together and also made sure they went into their respective rooms when they were left alone. Thankfully, after the week away the cats actually get along better than ever and can spend time together without supervision now! Andy made sure my cats were fed, had water, and got to have some play time too. I got regular updates with pictures and was able to actually relax on my vacation knowing all my pets were being loved and taken care of. Will definitely use Andy again and highly recommend!

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.
