Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and loving environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any medication needs. I treat your space with respect and leave everything clean and tidy. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I make sure your pet gets quality time, exercise, and attention, not just the basics. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe space with lots of affection, enrichment, and supervision. I genuinely enjoy bonding with each animal and making them feel happy and secure while you're away.

Information Andrew S. would like to know about your pet

(Preferred, not necessary to provide) Please provide as much information as possible on routines for feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime. Any of your pet’s medical needs, allergies, food preferences, favorite toys, commands they respond to, and any behavioral quirks. Any emergency contacts such as preferred vet's phone number. Whether your pet is shy, anxious, or don’t like being picked up or touched in certain ways.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for starts with lots of love and attention. I make sure their basic needs are taken care of—fresh food, clean water, and a bathroom break to start the day. From there, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If we're going for a walk, we’ll explore the neighborhood or go to a nearby park, depending on their energy level and preferences. Throughout the day, I keep things engaging with playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I also provide regular updates to pet parents so they can feel connected and reassured while they're away. What fun activities will you do with the pets you watch and/or walk?: Every pet is different, so I personalize the fun! For dogs, that might include long walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or practicing commands and tricks. For cats, I’ll engage them with feather toys, laser pointers, or even just quiet cuddle time. If the pet enjoys it, I’ll also introduce puzzle toys or games to keep their minds active. Whether it's a high-energy pup who loves adventure or a senior pet who prefers a slow stroll and a nap in the sun, I make sure they get attention, exercise, and lots of love.

Calm, Caring Cat Companion

Cat care experience

Cats aren’t just pets—they’re unique personalities, and I love taking the time to understand each one. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I have experience with all types of cats, including shy or senior kitties, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. I also take pride in keeping their space clean and cozy—yes, I actually enjoy deep-cleaning litter boxes and making sure food and water are always fresh. I know how important routine and trust are for cats, and I do everything I can to make them feel safe and cared for while you're away.

While our cats were fed and litter was scooped.. we walked into our apartment to our cats panting, thanks to Andrew turning the heat up to 84 degrees in the middle of a heat wave. To make matters worse, Andrew additionally disregarded our instructions of throwing out the cat food and poop. Our entire apartment now wreaks of hot cat poop and This situation is horrendous to walk back into after a short weekend away. Thank goodness our trip was short because this situation could’ve been much worse for our animals. I’m beyond disappointed.
