Highlights
Pet care experience
I’m a Vet Student and past Vet tech
I have dog walked and house sat many friends, co-workers, and family pets since I was 10. Some of these included over a week of care. I worked in a veterinary clinic for about 3 years and have experience with all breeds of dogs and cats and know how to care for senior pets. I also know how to give medications if needed even if the pets are a bit sneaky about their meds 😂. I have grown up with and always been around animals so I have loads of experience with all ages and many breeds of cats and dogs.
Cat care experience
Andra also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have mostly only watched pets at the owners house. Due to that I prefer to leave the house better than I found it. If I use anything I clean it up, I am extremely tidy and love to be organized. I follow the rules the pet owner has for their pet and the sitter to a T. I want the pet owner to feel comfortable and like they can relax while away so I make sure to be clean and give outstanding care to their pet. This means going on many walks or outings for the bathroom, playing with them as often as possible to make sure the pet has amble fun and stimulation, and making sure to stick to the feeding routine and amount the owner provides. Overall, I treat the pet as if it’s my own and take care of their place as if the owner was coming back to a clean hotel room.
Ratings and reviews
Very attentive and super helpful on a short notice. Andra already knew what questions to ask before I had to explain anything. She was on time, sent plenty of photos and Echo was happy. Great expereince, will reach out again :))
Andra was polite and professional. She followed our instructions for Nuggs perfectly and provided us with lots of updates and photos. It looks like Nuggs got lots of attention, she would definitely be welcome to sit Nuggs again :)
Andra was excellent in her communication, and paid particular attention to details. She made friends with Finley quickly, and he had the best time hanging out with her! I had no worries about leaving Finley with such a kind, caring, and competent sitter, and was always thankful to receive photos of them having the best time together. I highly recommend Andra!
Excellent. Andra was able to wrangle my boxer for his walks, and he does enjoy being a menace, so I’m very grateful. Also, Andra had to collect my dog from a relative’s house for his walks as I am out of the country, so managing the coordination of that could have been tricky, but she handled it perfectly. She also sent me lots of pictures, which again currently being out of the country, was great for me! Thanks again - would certainly book in the future!
Andra took great care of my two cats and home during my holiday. She was able to work with their personalities (one shy and skittish, the other confident and energetic) and provide them both with excellent care as well as picture and text updates. My home was left clean and tidy and I felt assured that my cats were getting the care they needed. Will certainly rebook again!
Thank you, Barsik was perfectly happy when I got back
