Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable, attentive pet sitter
Hello, thank you for reading my profile! About 20 years ago, one of my coworkers asked if I would be interested in caring for her Border Collie and cat while she was away. Being an animal lover, I jumped at the opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with her pets at her home and taking her dog for regular walks around the neighborhood. Word quickly spread among my coworkers, and I became known as our program's pet sitter. :) Soon, I was invited to care for one coworker's Golden Retriever, rabbit, and cat; another's two Labrador Retrievers; another's two cats; another's dog, fish, pony, and two horses; another's Old English Sheepdog and cats; another's cat and flock of chickens; etc. Everyone told me I did a great job, thanked me for my warm and loving care of their animals, and said upon their return that their animals seemed happy, relaxed, and very well taken care of. :) Years later, my husband and I bought a house with a fenced yard, adopted a young dog from the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society's animal shelter who loved to play with other dogs, and started to watch other people's dogs at our house. Now that our dog is a senior dog, he seems to prefer quiet time more and to not enjoy having so many different dogs at our house as much as he did when he was younger, other than his two best dog friends. I still love taking dogs for walks, playing with cats and dogs, and cuddling with cats and dogs, so I decided to offer the service of house sitting instead of boarding. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and I would love to care for additional animals. Thank you for reading my profile, and please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet-and-greet! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet-centered care, knowing each animal has unique needs and preferences. I understand the importance of maintaining routines in fostering an animal's sense of contentment and wellbeing, and I will do my best to maintain familiar routines. I am detail oriented and follow instructions carefully. I am a homebody and am quiet, but I love spending time in nature with animals, particularly going on walks with dogs or playing fetch with dogs outside. I will care for your pets as I do my own. :)
Ratings and reviews
As always, Andrea is fantastic. Zero stress about my dogs while out of town.
Andrea continues to go above and beyond for us. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, even when she initially wasn’t available, which we truly appreciated. As always, she kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear our dogs were comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. She’s reliable, flexible, and consistently does a great job. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Andrea was great once again! We received multiple pictures of our dogs throughout the day, which we really appreciated. One of our dogs got a little anxious and knocked an ornament off the Christmas tree, and Andrea not only picked it up but also found the hook that went with it—which couldn’t have been easy to locate. She let both of our dogs sleep in bed with her, and they were clearly comfortable and well cared for. Andrea is always professional and leaves our home exactly as she found it, with no trace that she was there. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
Andrea was wonderful with the pets and provided lots of updates. I appreciated the care she took with Jasper and Hermione and we will definitely have her sit for us again!
Andrea is really good with our dogs and the chickens.
Andrea was great with our pups…and chickens. Enjoyed pics of pups and girls while we were away and came home to happy animals. Will be using Andrea again next week!

I work remotely, and I am allowed to work flexible hours. I will be able to stay with your animals during the entire house sit.
