Highlights
Pet care experience
I love healthcare AND dogs!!
As a physician assistant and lifelong pet owner, I bring a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring approach to pet sitting. I just graduated with my masters degree and will be starting my first PA position soon, which means I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day to give your pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve never lived in a home without cats or dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a Mini Australian Shepherd and a Weimaraner who absolutely love to play and would be happy to have some furry friends around. I have a large, pet-friendly home and live in an area that makes it easy for me to travel to your home or welcome dogs into mine. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy making sure pets are happy, stimulated, and well cared for—not just fed and let outside. I love finding ways to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged, including toys and activities like foraging mats and enrichment games. As a fellow pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I take that trust seriously. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated with plenty of pictures, messages, and whatever information helps you feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. For dogs in my home: I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and mental enrichment throughout the day. I have a Mini Australian Shepherd and a Weimaraner who love to play, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy giving them opportunities for both physical and mental stimulation. I also use enrichment toys and activities, such as foraging mats, to keep pets engaged. I’m home most of the day, so pets receive lots of companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. In your home: I do my best to keep your pets’ routines as close to normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter care, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. For both dogs and cats, I believe good communication is an important part of pet sitting. I’ll send regular updates and plenty of photos so you know how your pets are doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Schedule
Hi there, my name is Andrea! I just graduated with my master’s degree and have a little bit of time before I start my first job. I have a very flexible schedule and a passion for taking care of pets. Tell me what you need and I’m there!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAndrea can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Before watching your dog, I’d love to know anything that will help me provide the safest and most personalized care possible! Please let me know about their normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and anything they love (or don’t love). It’s especially helpful to know about any special restrictions, medications, allergies, dietary needs, fears, reactivity, or behaviors I should be aware of. If they have any quirks or specific routines that make them feel comfortable, I’m happy to follow them!
