“Andrew is a great communicator, arrives on time, sends creative photos, and most importantly, takes great care of our pup! Thanks Andrew, we appreciate you!”


“Beth was incredibly patient and caring while dog sitting our two pups, one of which is very fearful of new people. Beth helped her to accommodate by spending lots of time outside. She also worked to built trust with positive reinforcement and treats. She was also very considerate of the house demonstrated by making the bed and washing the sheets for the next dog sitter. All around, she was outstanding. Highly recommend.”

About: My love for animals knows no bounds, and I will treat your beloved pets with the same care and attention that I give to my own. My dog lives a life of luxury, and I have lovingly raised a Rottweiler female who holds a special place in my heart. Taking care of her has shown me that I am capable of overcoming any challenge.

I would be honored to assist with your new puppy, high-energy dog, or older dog in need of some fresh air. I also have a soft spot for cats and would be delighted to spend time with them. My experience working with a nonprofit for cats has given me valuable insight into the diverse and delightful personalities these feline companions can have.

With notice I can easily modify my routine to make sure I’m there for your pet In my home I current have it parrot proofed. So we have no chemical or anything toxic that can easily be gotten into. I also make sure not to keep any toxic foods in the house as an extra level of precaution and know that you cannot leave them alone because you never know what any pet will get into especially when their routine is disrupted
