Pet care experience

Walk. Run. Play. Pet. Love.

As an animal lover and pet owner myself I know how stressful leaving your pet in someone else's care can be. As an experienced pet sitter I will ensure that your fur baby receives above and beyond, the love and attention they need while you are away! To help keep your mind at ease, I love sending my clients pictures/ video updates of their pet/s!!! Why me?! [C]attitude I am a very friendly, positive, easy going person that enjoys being outdoors and staying active. I am hard working, reliable and will always show up with a good attitude and ready to spoil your pet! Availability I currently work from home as a Freelance Artist, so my availability in regards to time and attention are quite flexible. I am available for in-home visits and/or walks Monday-Friday 8am-10pm Communication To me, good communication is the key to success! I want to make sure the service I am providing, is relieving any stress you may have about leaving your pet home. To help achieve this I would be happy to provide you with a text or call upon my arrival and/or departure, as well as send you a recap of my walk, check in or day-care. Respect I will always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. Maintaining the safety, security and trust of your space is something I take very seriously and will absolutely uphold. I do have 2+ years of experience working for a house cleaning company as a Supervisor, where I was in charge of customer keys, access information, lock box/ alarm codes etc. and ensuring every home was properly locked and secure before leaving. Again, maintaining the safety and privacy of your home and its contents will always be a priority. Experience Animals have always been one of my greatest passions in life. Despite not growing up with a dog or even owning one as an adult thus far in my life, I have gained knowledge and experience caring for dogs through dog sitting for various family members and friends over the last several years. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals... and that if I am not actively playing, petting or interacting with a pet, I am usually talking about them. Art bonus! I am a freelance artist with a BFA in photography and I also specialize in cut-paper art! The majority of my work is nature and animal based- because that is what I love. I also create one of-a-kind, handcut paper, pet portraits! Feel free to contact me with any questions about getting a custom portrait of your own pet made!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a quiet cul-de-sac. I have a large fully fenced yard with lots of space to run and explore. My dog Maeve is friendly with other dogs and will gladly play chase if that's what your dog enjoys. My cat, Bitta, gets along well with dogs, provided they don't bother her too much. However, she's not shy about letting a pup know when they've crossed the line. Our home is quite spacious, allowing us to easily keep the puppies separate indoors if necessary. However, if all the dogs are comfortable with each other, our house is pet-friendly, and that includes allowing them on the couch. As I work from home, I can easily monitor all the animals throughout the day.

Without a doubt, Andrea is the best dog sitter in the Twin Cities area. She embraced Harlow into their fur family and sent daily photo updates (and my goodness, if you want some frame-able pet portraits, you'll get them!). She's responsible, kind and so good with animals. Any time we're headed out of town, we know exactly where Harlow is headed!

We were/are SO thankful to Andrea for taking care of our old man. Our dog Maxxi is not a "people person" but she is so sweet and kind, he couldn't help but love her. She always messaged us about his walks, and care. She most certainly has earned our respect and return cliental!!
