Pet care experience
I’ve walked and taken care of dogs since I was a kid and had a small dog growing up(Also cats and kittens and cared for them in other houses). I have lots of experience, I can follow diets and administer medication as needed, and they will get lots of playtime and attention I am devoted to that and following rules. I am good with dogs and cats of all sizes and any other house pets.
Reviews
I wish this was a positive review... Andrew stepped in last minute to stay in our home and watch our 6 month old puppy and for that we’re thankful. But, we came home from the long Thanksgiving weekend to a small cut on Kona’s nose and poop in his crate and on our new carpet from one or multiple accidents. Kona also had an accident on one of our beds. We expect these were all due to him not paying close enough attention to the puppy. Accidents happen and destroyed mats are replaceable, but the lack of attention and proper care/cleaning are not excusable. Maybe Andrew would be fine with grown dogs but it was clear he could not handle the responsibility of our puppy.
Andrew did a wonderful job keeping our anxious girl calm!! Thank you so much!!!
Andrew was fantastic! A wonderful dog and house sitter. Andrew was extremely sweet, responsive and responsible sending pictures, videos and sharing stories about my dog during my trip. It was absolutely delightful. Thank you for the love, the energy and the support.
Andrew is an amazing sitter. My sheperdoodle Sirius has taken to him well, and enjoys exercise and care when I am away. Andrew is also very respectful of the space, punctual, dependable and flexible!

Safety, trust & environment
I keep your pets within eye sight and listen for any cries or calls that they make. I can crate if necessary and take to specific areas.
Information Andrew W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know the animals routine and how they are with other dogs and people. I need to know how loose to keep them on a walk (if and where they can go off leash) and specific breeds to look out for. Some details about how they’ll be with me in the house and outside noise would also be appreciated.
A typical day
I’ll walk them in the morning, we’ll run around for 20-30 min, play for a short time and then hang out in the house, we’ll play in the house and cuddle for a few hours, then I’l go out with them again, expend some energy and come back, stay in house for a few hours and/or go out in the backyard and eventually go on a nightwalk. I’m happy to sleep in the same room with the dog too. I’ll follow any feeding or snacking routines you have to the ‘T’
