Information Andrea I. would like to know about your pet

It's great to know ahead of time what little idiosyncrasies your dog might have, so that I can be prepared. Does your dog love to chase squirrels or birds, for instance? What is their favorite food/treat?

A typical day

I let your dog check out the whole house so that they can feel safe and comfortable here. I take them for walks in the neighborhood and if they are used to going to the dog park I can take them there too.

For the love of dogs

Pet care experience

I have cared for dogs my whole life. I am especially fond of older dogs and their quirks. We just lost our family dog about year ago and I am ready to have dogs in my life again but at this point not as a dog parent.

We had a lovely experience with Andrea! She was very easy to coordinate with and responded to communications promptly, and we returned to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you again.

Andrea was clear and easy to work with in arranging the sit. She handled my dog’s tummy upset directly and in a way that left me confident all would be well. It was. Her straight forward approach is a good fit for my and my dog’s needs. Would not hesitate to rebook when the need arises.

Andrea always takes such good care of our dog! We always appreciate her help when we travel out of town. 🐾❤️

I am fully comfortable leaving Marley with Andrea. During her stay, Marley had some stomach issues, and Andrea kept me updated the entire time. Sometimes after staying with a sitter, Marley can be a bit clingy. You would not know I was gone with how relaxed she was when I returned. I highly recommend Andrea!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
