Pet care experience
Compassionate Care by a Vet Tech🐾
Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets—and started helping care for family pets around age 10. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and was recently certified. My experience includes both emergency and general practice with small animals, along with some experience caring for exotic pets. This background has given me experience recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications, following medical instructions, and helping pets feel comfortable in new or stressful situations. In addition to working in veterinary medicine, my roommate and I have been fostering animals for the past 2 years through a local rescue. Fostering has allowed me to work with pets from many different backgrounds, personalities, and comfort levels while helping them adjust to new environments and build confidence. It’s been incredibly rewarding to help provide a safe, loving space while they wait to find their forever homes. One thing I take pride in is building trust with animals. Some pets warm up immediately and others need more time—and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for at their own pace. When caring for your pet, I treat them like my own and make it a priority to follow your routine and preferences closely. Whether that means maintaining feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, or simply keeping things familiar and comfortable, I aim to provide reliable, personalized care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet and provide care you can feel confident in while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My dog has diabetes and she took care of him very well, including listening to my concerns about his shots. She also dealt well with my suddenly changing schedule.
Andrea was wonderful! Would recommend!!
Andrea was great! She did a meet and greet with the dogs who loved her and was very communicative, sending pics and updates. Thank you!
Andrea is a great sitter! She responded fast and within a week’s notice! She watched our anxious American Bully and they became buds. Our girl seemed very comfortable with her. She sent us pictures and communicated with us throughout our time away. She also kept all our things and our girls things in their place and neat. We plan to use her again in the future!
Thanks for your helpful care of our pets this week and the timely updates.
We appreciate Andrea's animal care experience in case any unexpected issues were to arise while we aren't at home. Thanks for the recent round of making sure our dogs got their outings and keeping us posted.

Schedule
I currently work at an animal clinic in Holly Springs 4 days per week (typically 8:00 AM–7:00 PM, schedule may vary slightly). My lunch break is one hour (usually 1–2 PM or 2–3 PM), which allows flexibility for midday potty breaks and check-ins. Depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level, I may be able to: • Bring your dog with me to work (they would remain safely kenneled while I’m working and receive up to 3 potty breaks during my shift) • Stop by your home during my lunch break if you’re located within ~15 minutes of my workplace • Coordinate care plans ahead of time to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, going on adventures with my own pup, and making sure pets in my care get quality attention, enrichment, and exercise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are my priority. Every animal is different, and I adjust my approach based on their personality and needs. If your dog is social and excited to meet new people, we’ll jump right into playtime, walks, and building trust. If your pet is more reserved or nervous, I’ll move at their pace and give them time and space to feel comfortable. I believe in creating positive experiences and respecting each pet’s boundaries. With my experience working in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, recognizing changes, and following care instructions closely.

A typical day
A typical day with me includes personalized care based on your pet’s energy level and preferences. This may include: • Walks or outdoor time • Playtime with favorite toys • Enrichment and mental stimulation • Relaxing together and companionship • Plenty of attention (or space if they prefer independence!) Whether your dog loves hiking and activity or quiet cuddle time, I tailor care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
