Pet care experience
Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I have over 10 years of professional experience tending to the needs of our four-legged friends and been around animals my entire life. After many years of running my own pet-sitting service on the side, I am excited to work as a Rover pet-sitter! From the Nebraska Humane Society to the PetSmart PetHotel to VCA Animal Medical Center, I have been tending to the needs of dogs and cats (not mention bobcats, sugar gliders and even a couple goats!) and look forward to bringing my experience into the Rover World. I'm devoted to providing the best service possible to my clients, complete with regular updates, attention to clients' needs and, of course, pet photos! I look forward to speaking with you about how I can be of service to you and your pets!
Reviews
Andy goes above and beyond when pet-sitting. He snuggled with them, played, walked and took them to the dog park. He even did a little training with our ACD and scooped the backyard! It was a smooth and calm transition when returning from our vacation so I know their needs were being met while we were gone. Highly recommended.
Andy has watched our dogs for over a decade and we will continue to work only with Andy for as long as he continues to provide this service. He does a great job and our dogs absolutely love him. We can't recommend Andy highly enough!!
Andy is an outstanding pet sitter. He has taken care of our labs. One of our labs didn’t like everyone but he got along famously with Andy. You can tell by the way he looks at the animals that he really loves them. He is on time, responsible and follows our directions. We feel lucky when Andy is available to take care of our beloved labs.
There is no human I trust more with my dogs than I trust Andy. Andy took the time to write down careful notes of my dogs' wants and needs, and I could tell he really cared about my dogs' happiness. I could not recommend a better human to take care of your furry family member. Andy is five stars A+ the best. He also after getting to know my dogs had insights based on his wealth of knowledge of pets based on his experiences.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide in-home care and dog-walking at my clients' place of residence and offer care for dogs in my apartment based on their needs. Taking care of a dog in their own familiar surroundings decreases their level of stress and ensures a better chance that the dog will react positively to care from a new person. If your dog is laid back and just wants to hang out and cuddle, I can do that too!
Information Andy S. would like to know about your pet
I have experience working with almost every breed and every temperament imaginable. I ask about everything to your dogs level of comfort with strangers, possible aggressions including toy, food or other animals, energy needs and preferred activities. Once again, an initial meet and greet with the dog is essential and will determine the best course of care.
A typical day
Who knows your dogs better than you? At the first Meet-and-Greet, you and I will talk about your pet's needs and how best I can serve you. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, at a park or just playing fetch in the backyard, I strive to meet the needs of the dogs I care for as best I can. And, of course, the owners!
