Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a 2020 UMass Vet & Animal Sciences Bachelor’s graduate. I’m dedicated to providing superb animal care. I have over a decade of academic and professional experience, and have trained with a large variety of species. I’ve been on Rover for over five years now, and have over 20 wonderful regular clients. I absolutely love my job and treasure the privilege of caring for my clients’ pets! ***Note for overnights: I have my own small dog, so during house sitting stays I will ask to be able to bring him along (after a successful meet and greet, of course). Taz is the small brown dog pictured mingling with my clients’ dogs and cats in my photos. He is a well-behaved retired service dog and loves meeting all my animal friends.
Reviews
Andrea is a great cat sitter. She helped us take care of our seven cats for two weeks and did a wonderful job. She is detailed oriented and very responsible. Our cats are usually pretty shy, but they became good friends with Andrea after several visits. I would highly recommend her services!
We used Andrea to walk our dog while we were away. From the first meeting our dog was comfortable with her. She is now her new BFF. Andrea was reliable and gave our dog the exercise and play she needed. I really liked getting pix while I was away. I would definitely use her again as well as recommend her to others.
Andrea is AMAZING! She went above and beyond for our two senior dogs. She even brushed them! Also, my parent's dog sitter canceled two days before their trip and Andrea helped watch their dogs as well. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Andrea did a fantastic job! Anytime we are going on vacation we will absolutely use Andrea again! ?

Safety, trust & environment
I care for the pets and home as if they were my own. I’m great at following written schedules/instructions to help your pets be as comfortable as possible, and to keep your home as you’d like it. During the day I follow your feeding and walk/play schedules to the best of my ability, and take the animals outside throughout the day if needed. I take in the mail and water the plants as instructed, and generally care for the home and show that it’s inhabited while you’re away. I stay overnight with the animals as instructed.
Information Andrea G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about: - food allergies and preferences - special needs and medical issues - behavioral issues to watch out for - special tricks your dog enjoys to make them feel more at home During our meet and greet, I’ll get to know your animal’s usual schedule and the locations of important things like dog food, leashes, and medications. For each booking I’ll need to know what you would like from me - should I feed a meal during drop ins? Avoid other dogs on walks? For house sitting, a written guide to your animal’s schedule helps!
A typical day
I know lots of great trails and neighborhoods for walking, and can match our destination to most dogs’ energy and socialization needs and boundaries. If your animal prefers to stay home and play with toys or in the yard, we can do that too! I’m also happy to sit for couch potatoes and leave on animal planet all day, of course.

Andrea can watch in your home
Availability
Pet care is my full time job! I usually have a house sitting stay going on, with a few walks or drop ins scheduled for the daytime. I’m usually in and out of the house for 4-6 hours during the day (coming and going from drop ins), and otherwise tending to the “overnight” house and animals.
