Safety, trust & environment

When I come into client homes, I do nothing less than professional. I take good care of their pets and their home. If I have any questions or concerns, I communicate them. I also know a lot of professionals in veterinary field that I ask questions too. Their pet safety and safety of their home is priority. I do my best to adapt their pets routines during my time there to provide the best sitter experience for them while their humans are away.

Information Andrea D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if dogs have special diet routines. Also, if dogs have any allergies and any medical history would be helpful to ensure pet is well observed. Also, if a pet is a senior, what to look out for if not well. Also, what type of commands and hand signals are given for direction to their pets. Also, if in the event of an emergency, I would like to be sure I am on the list of names given consent by client to take their pets in for treatment.

A typical day

I would start my day taking the dogs out to relieve themselves. Then I would go to the kitchen, change out their water and prepare their first meal. I would look at any notes provided by client. I would clean cat box areas and common areas of dog hair or cat litter. I would get washed up and clean up throughout the day. I would spend time with dog/cat, providing ear scratches, and play time. Once mail has arrived, I would take them out for their walks as the temperature permits. Make sure they have cuddle time and attention during my stay. Provide any additional care like teeth brushing, grooming, and vitamins and treats if permitted. I leave not reviewing my time there so my clients have a personal touch to my visit.

Pet care experience

Welcome Pet Parent, thank you for checking my profile. I enjoy working with animals. My dream would be to have a ranch and rescue animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, mice, rats and fish. I am Dog and Cat First Aid Certified. I work well under pressure, and I can monitor pets that may have seizures. As well as look out for other potential health concerns. I enjoy learning dog and cat personalities. To know their needs for socialization, stimulation, games and walks. During dog walks, I am observant when encountering other dogs or people to ensure the safety of my client's dogs. I like to make sure my clients home is sharp and clean and ready for their return home. I give nothing short of my very best when I take care of your pets. I treat them as if they are my own. With love, care and affection. I look forward to hearing from you.

Such a gem. Really appreciate Andrea's approach to our two pups who are so very different; a senior Pom with some anxiety and a young Lab with all that Young Lab Energy. She did a great job managing some more complicated routines and both dogs responded very well to her. Andrea will be back to our home soon. We trust her to do a great job -- you can, too.

Andrea did an exceptional job in seeking to understand mine and Gideon's needs, asking thoughtful questions, and providing consistent and comforting updates and feedback. She is pleasant and seems to have a kind heart. She went above and beyond my expectations, and ensured my personal needs were accommodated while ensuring for the well-being of my special needs boi. I would highly recommend her to anybody who may be apprehensive of such services (because we love them so much and hate to be away from them), but she delivered! Thank you, Andrea :) I will be seeking to rebook you again. With much appreciation - M.

Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.
