Highlights
Pet care experience
Peruvian student open for pet-car
Hi everyone, I'm a Peruvian-USA student living in Boston while I finish my studies. Over the past eight years, I have regularly taken care of friends’ pets, particularly cats, on a voluntary basis. I genuinely love caring for small animals—especially cats—and have built strong, affectionate bonds with them over time. I’m very much a “cat person”: I’m attentive, calm, playful when appropriate, and respectful of their need for space. Cats tend to feel comfortable around me, and I truly enjoy their company. While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I have a healthy, confident, and respectful relationship with dogs as well. I’m energetic, playful, and comfortable setting boundaries, with no fear and a strong awareness of animals’ needs and signals. More broadly, I love animals and enjoy the routine, responsibility, and emotional connection that comes with caring for them. Because I move frequently and am completing my PhD, I haven’t yet been able to commit to having a pet of my own. Pet caretaking has been a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals during this stage of life, and it would be a wonderful way to bring balance, joy, and much-needed stress relief alongside the demands of dissertation writing. Because I am still a student and do not have a car, things will work out best for folks who live near accessible public transport. I am also open to staying over your place, if needed!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot currently host pets at my shared apartment, perhaps in the future. I am open to staying at your place, and it seems this often is more calming for pets.
Ratings and reviews
Andrea is very professional, caring and responsible. My pets love her and we are extremely satisfied with her services. We are looking forward to work with her again. I would definitely recommend her.
Andrea has lovingly watched my older cat, Miski, since she was just a smol kitten. She is attentive and caring during their time together be it drop ins or house sitting. I feel at ease leaving for my short or long term work / vacation trips knowing that Miski is in good hands! For as long as I've known and worked with Andrea, she has always been a great communicator, ensuring i never miss a funny moment by sending me videos, photos, and keeping up to date with any important information. Miski ADORES her and runs to her the moment she comes over to feed or play with her. I trust Andrea with my kitten and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a new sitter for their fur baby anytime, any day. Thank you so much, Andrea! We appreciate you and always look forward to booking you!!

Andrea is very caring, responsible, and committed. She takes the time to listen and understand each animal’s needs, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I would trust her wholeheartedly with any of my pets!
