Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's new favorite
With a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience, pet care is second nature. Over the past few years, I've cared for friends’ dogs, walked neighbors' pets, and volunteered at my local shelter. Having my own pup, I truly understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. Rest assured, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety and happiness. My experience includes handling reactive and highly sensitive working breeds, thanks to extensive training with my own pup, an 80lb working line German Shepherd. This background equips me to confidently manage high-drive and more challenging pups, including those with reactivity, fearfulness, or dog-aggressive tendencies. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency with training for both puppies and older dogs. If you're going away for an extended time and want to keep up training routines, let me know—I’m well-versed in both positive reinforcement and balanced training approaches and am happy to continue or maintain obedience work as needed. Currently, I’m accepting drop-in and walking clients, but I look forward to expanding my services to include boarding and overnight visits in the near future. Regular photo updates will ensure peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always accommodate as best as possible to keep your dog’s mental well-being a priority. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! If you have any questions, concerns, or requests, please feel free to reach out!

Safety, trust & environment
NOTE: If you are requesting house sitting services. I will likely need to have my pup with me. He does get along wonderfully with other dogs and can be crated/separated if needed. I'll make sure your pup feels happy, secure, and engaged. Every visit is personalized to match the dog's routine and preferences, with plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. Details are clarified ahead of time, from behavioral traits to dietary needs, to make sure each dog gets the care they deserve. Regular photo updates are shared to keep owners connected and reassured. Prioritizing each dog’s overall mental well-being means taking the time to engage them with games, positive reinforcement, and activities that make them feel loved and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Andrea is an absolute gem! She is so good with animals, an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is well taken care of. During her time with our pup she would send consistent updates, took some extra time to get his energy out and left him a happy camper. Highly recommend Andrea for your pet sitting needs!

- Please be sure to highlight any of the following when submitting a request: • Behavioral Issues: Information about any aggressive tendencies, anxiety triggers, or habits (e.g., chewing, digging) helps me approach their care appropriately and create a stress-free environment. • Special Diets: Specific dietary needs, feeding schedules, and restrictions should be clearly outlined to keep the pet healthy and maintain their routine. • Allergies: Knowing about any food or environmental allergies allows me to prevent potential health issues. • Fears and Triggers: Awareness of common fears such as loud noises, unfamiliar people, or certain situations helps me manage their reactions and keep them calm. • Medical Conditions and Medications: If the pet has any ongoing medical conditions or requires medication, it’s crucial to have detailed instructions for proper administration. • Preferred Activities: Understanding what activities your pet enjoys (or dislikes) helps me tailor their playtime and ensure they feel happy and engaged. • Social Preferences: Whether your pet is comfortable around other animals or prefers solo play is important for planning walks or outings. I look forward to caring for your fur-baby!
