Pet care experience

I love dogs and food.

With over two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, I have developed a deep understanding of their physical and emotional needs. My background as both a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Medical Assistant has provided me with a strong foundation in health monitoring, medication administration, and comfort care—skills I’ve been able to apply effectively in my work with animals. While my experience spans the full spectrum of canine care, I have frequently cared for senior dogs and those with health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and mobility issues. I’m confident in managing special diets, administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive support to improve their quality of life. Above all, I am driven by a lifelong passion for animals. I approach every pet with empathy, patience, and respect, treating them as family and ensuring they receive the attentive, loving care they deserve. Whether supporting a dog through recovery, providing daily care, or simply being a calming presence, my goal is always to enhance their well-being in every way possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m naturally very affectionate and never shy about showing love and attention to pets—I enjoy bonding with them through cuddles, play, and gentle interaction. At the same time, I’m always mindful of each animal’s personality and boundaries. If a pet prefers space or needs time to warm up, I’m patient and respectful, letting them set the pace to feel safe and comfortable in my care.

House Sitting • Juli 09, 2026

Andrew did a great job watching my 10-year-old pup and making sure she received her daily medication. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which was very much appreciated.

House Sitting • Jan. 02, 2026

Andrew was fantastic! He came over a few times before our trip so that he and Luna could get to know one another - took her for walks. They seemed to like each other immediately! Andrew was responsive and Luna seemed to really like him! Our house was left in fabulous condition. We SO appreciated being able to be out of town for the holiday and not have to worry about our sweet dog. We would definitely use him again!

I cannot say enough good things about Andrew! From the moment we met, it was clear they genuinely love animals and take their responsibilities seriously. He took exceptional care of my dogs, Coco, Charlie, and Lion while I was away, and I came home to very happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved pups. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Andrew sent regular updates, including photos and notes about how things were going, which really put my mind at ease. He followed all of my instructions perfectly from feeding schedules to medications and even went above and beyond by brushing them and tidying up after playtime. When I returned, the house was spotless and everything was just as I left it actually, even better! Andrew clearly treated my home with the same care and respect they showed to my dog. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional pet sitter. He is a true gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Coco, Charlie, and Lion are already looking forward to their next stay together.

Schedule

I currently work at a photography company during the week, which gives me evenings and weekends completely free. My schedule is also very flexible during the day, allowing me to step away as needed to provide bathroom breaks, walks, or check-ins for pets. This flexibility makes it easy for me to be available when needed and ensures reliable, consistent care.
