Caring dog lover
Pet care experience
Hi everyone! I started my Rover services when I lived in Denver in 2016 and since moving back to Chicago, I have continued doing it. I absolutely love it! I’m new to River North and there are lots of streets to take walks on. I also live right by the Larrabee dog park so if your dog is a park fan, we can go there to burn off some energy! Across from my unit is a quiet grass dog area as well. I live near the river and there’s tons of grass and a path to take long walks on, so there is options! I have extra toys, food/water bowls, and a bed if needed. Your pets are allowed anywhere and on anything in my home! I have experience with both small & big dogs and cats too. (shorkies, labs, and pitbulls run in the family) I'm familiar with how puppies and kittens act and the attention needed at such a young age. I am very comfortable with putting leashes and harnesses on. I have experience giving medicine to dogs and know what to do if they were to get sick.. I can easily prepare a bland diet for your pet. I am easy to reach and an easy-going person overall. I will treat your dog as it is my own! I do work from home now so I can do potty breaks whenever! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I look forward to hearing back from you!
Reviews
Andrea was great! Frankie had an amazing time and Andrea updated me throughout the day. Frankie would love to stay with Andrea again!
Andrea took such good care of my pup Stella! She was excellent with communicating and made sure to send updates and photos during her stay! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the Chicago area!
She was so amazing and always kept me updated. Also really appreciate how flexible she was. Definitely will book again!
I highly recommend! Andrea took care of our dog for a long weekend. Our pup was happy and content. Andrea was very professional and responsive and kind. I would definitely book her as a sitter again.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a high rise, so when exiting my unit, there are quite a few doors/elevators to go through before gettin on the Main Street. This is helpful if any of your dogs are runners and happen to slip out my front door.. they won't make it far! I have a balcony as well that has extra wiring on it so small dogs won’t fit through the gaps. I have my own dog bed, dog bowls, toys, puppy gate, and a leash at my apartment just in case! Everything gets washed after each dog leaves.
Home
Information Andrea B. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to know how their dog is around other dogs. Some dogs aren't too friendly (totally ok) and I would rather know that before taking them on a walk and having an encounter with another dog.
A typical day
I live down the block from the river! There's different paths we can take and plenty of grass to sniff! There are 2 dog parks within walking distance to me. If your dog doesn’t like the park, then we can walk down the side streets which will also have grass and trees to sniff or stick with the river paths.

Availability
I currently work from home, so I can do potty breaks and feedings whenever! I'm usually home on the weekends, if anything I am just running errands. If I have a dog that can't be left alone, then I'll make sure I do not schedule anything else.
