Unleashing Happiness is My Goal!
Pet care experience
Hi my name is Andrea Lopez! Originally a Du Quoin native, I currently live in Carbondale and work full time in education. My passions include working with kids, animals, and being outdoors. I am a life long runner and am passionate about being active through daily walks and being outside. This has made me into a morning person and I have no problem taking your furry friend on a walk/run before you head off to work or in the evenings! In addition, I have experience as a nanny for elementary aged children and grew up with plenty of pets, making me qualified for taking care of your dog on those days that you cannot be with them all day. I am a firm believer that pets are as much part of the family as any human and I will take care of your dog as if they were a part of my own family.
Reviews
From the moment we met Andrea, we knew our dogs were in great hands. Entrusting someone to care for our three dogs (Pumpkin, Roxie, and Daisy) for an entire week is no small task, but Andrea exceeded every expectation. Every day, she would send us photos and updates, which were more than reassuring—they were a delightful treat that gave us peace of mind. Not only could we see that our dogs were happy and well-taken care of, but they genuinely seemed to love spending time with Andrea. But Andrea didn’t stop at simply caring for our dogs. Her proactive nature and thoughtfulness shone through as she took it upon herself to water our plants, gather our mail, and even run the vacuum, ensuring we returned to a clean and welcoming home. It's not just about the tasks she performed or helping to care for the “girls” while we were out of town, but the genuine love and care she poured into every one of them. Our dogs’ fondness for Andrea speaks volumes about her nature and the connection forms with pets. In a world where it's hard to find trustworthy and dependable individuals, Andrea stands out as someone who goes the extra mile, not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided us during our trip and the impeccable care she offered to our furry family. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone needing dog-sitting and house-sitting services. She is a gem! Thank you, Andrea, and we hope to work with you again in the future!
Andrea was fantastic with our girls! She was responsive, sent pictures, and follows any instructions we had. Thank you so much!
Andrea is an amazing dog sitter!! She watched my Frenchie, Duke, while I was away on vacation last week. Duke was well attended to and she even took him on lots of walks (he enjoys the outdoors!). She was so kind and sent pictures of Duke upon my request. I would rate her 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 because she's just that amazing!
If you are looking for a reliable, honest and caring person to care for your pets I would highly recommend Andrea. Our dogs love her and she loves them!

As a caregiver for young children, I understand the responsibility of taking care of others. Moreover, my dear family dog, Blake, is diagnosed diabetes, so I have experience working with special needs dogs and giving medication to animals. I am a firm believer in stability, routine, and compassion. That means I will stick to your pets daily routine and offer support and love while doing it!

Information Andrea L. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting, I would like to know if the dog is potty trained, has any medical issues, and how much food to feed them/at what time. All breeds welcomed!
A typical day
I would like to go on walks around the neighborhood. If the owner is okay with it, I am willing to take the pet to the park or the university to let them have a change of scenery. Frisbee, tug-o-war, teaching new tricks, and fetch are all examples of fun things that we can do during our time together.
