Pet care experience

Active, Reliable Dog Lover & Sitter

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. After losing my 2½-year-old Goldendoodle a few years ago, I found myself jumping at opportunities to help friends by watching their dogs when they traveled. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed and a nice way to have dogs back in my life. I’m active, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like I’d want someone to treat my own. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

Drew was absolutely a dream pet sitter. I presented quite the challenge with my 3 senior pups and one very high energy GSP puppy. Drew not only met but far exceeded every expectation. It had been actually years since I had been able to go out of town without constantly worrying about my fur babies and with Drew, that changed. I had not one worry and I absolutely would not hesitate to hire him again and 1000x over recommend to anyone looking for an actual dog lover that is also reliable, consistent, friendly, loving and committed! I couldn't be more grateful to have found him and I will definitely be hiring him again. He went above and beyond and I came home to 4 very happy fur babies and that alone, is priceless. Look no further, Drew is your new pet sitter. ❤️

Absolutely wonderful! He took such great care of our two dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We came home to two very happy pups! We would absolutely have him watch them again and highly recommend him!

Schedule

I work full-time during the day, but I have a tremendous amount of flexibility outside of work. My availability really just depends on my schedule and whether it lines up with what your pet needs. If the timing works, I’m always happy to spend some quality time with your amazing four-legged family member.
