I already love your fur baby ❤️
Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Andrea :) My passion is and always has been animals and I can’t wait to meet yours :) I grew up moving around all over Northern California from the mountains to the Bay Area and everywhere in between. I was constantly around all different types of animals. At the age of 9 I lived on a mountain type farm with everything from cows and horses to llamas and emus and I was hands on from day one. From the fun and exciting moments to the gross (and even more gross), the miracles of birth to the heart breaking ends, I have experienced and helped with all of it. I am beyond grateful for the skills and knowledge I gained during those years. I already loved animals but I believe that’s where my passion to care for and protect them truly developed. I am currently almost 7 years vegan and it’s 100% for the animals. I am also a volunteer foster and adoption coordinator for a local non profit dog rescue here in San Diego. I have two, 8 year old cats that pretty much keep to themselves whenever we have fosters or rover pups. My Son is 16 and is also passionate about the animals. He aspires to be a marine biologist with a special interest in sharks🦈. He’s very patient and caring and is always happy to help out with all the animals that make their way into our lives, even just briefly. He has accompanied me to many rescue functions and adoption events to lend a hand and support. It’s just the two of us in our home and we hope to meet and care for your fur baby soon!
Reviews
Andrea was absolutely amazing with my 2 labradors. It was an emergent situation as the booked sitter no call no showed and Andrea was able to help me and my pups immediately. She was communicative throughout the whole process and treated my dogs as if they were her own. I will definitely be using Andrea in the future!
We loved Andrea! She took great care of Hamilton and our home. She’s very attentive and you can tell loved our pup like her own. We couldn’t be happier! Thanks Andrea!
This was my first time using rover and Andrea helped watch my puppy Kong last minute when I needed a sitter! We were able to have a meet and greet the day before and dropping him off/picking him up was a breeze. Got lots of updates and pictures while I was away which made me feel so happy since I was starting to miss him. Thank you Andrea for such a good first Rover experience!
Andrea is incredibly responsive and reliable and does a great job taking care of my pitty Athena! Athena has separation anxiety so I’m very particular about who she is left with - she’s always comfortable at Andreas and comes back very happy and tired from playing. 🐶

I have worked closely with a well respected trainer and I am confident and comfortable training or even strengthening most basic behavior skills for both you and your pup. I have a really great understanding of pet owners and how different we can all be with our ideas of how to properly care for our pets. That means whether you are more for your fur baby to be following strict rules and a disciplined lifestyle or you choose to completely let them run the show and there’s no such thing as rules, I wholeheartedly respect each owners way of caring for their pets without judgement. My goal is always to keep your fur baby comfortable, happy, healthy and safe while giving you peace of mind knowing that that is exactly what’s happening every second they are in my care ❤️

Information Andrea H. would like to know about your pet
Of course any special needs or medical issues along with separation anxiety or trauma. None of those cases are an issue for me, I just like to make sure I can plan and prepare my home and environment for your pup as best as possible. I also like to know if they are allowed on furniture at home or not, if they play well with others and any other pertinent information you may think of.
A typical day
I usually change it up depending on the specific pup or crew of pups I have on any given day. Sometimes it can be dog parks, hikes, runs, and sometimes it can be lighter days still with good walks and some light play. I have many toys to stimulate their minds and keep them engaged as well as non toxic chew toys of all sizes and durability. Everything is adjusted to meeting the needs of each pup individually based on breed and age.

Availability
Please note that I can take same day bookings and my prices are negotiable for drop ins, visits and walks depending on distance and needs :) I am currently available full time to care for your fur baby like my own ❤️ If your baby doesn’t play well with others and needs one on one care, I am more than happy to discuss appropriate environment and rates for accommodating that request.
