Safety, trust & environment

Building trust is important and I believe it’s essential that I meet your pet where they’re at. If they’re shy, I’m more than happy to patiently let them get used to me. And if they’re high energy and want to play for hours, I’m ready! Whether they’re a cuddle bug, an adventure junkie, or a little shy, I work to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe with me.

Information Andrea M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behavioral issues, or if your dog doesn’t like being around other people or animals. I can work around any of this but want to know ahead of time to ensure everyone has a happy experience.

A typical day

When I’m caring for dogs, I love to start the day off with a walk in the neighborhood or at a walking trail like Huntley Meadows. I also like to go to dog parks (if the dog enjoys that) or, when weather doesn’t permit outside excursions, play with lots of toys inside.

Caring for pets is my love language

Pet care experience

My husband calls me Snow White because not only do I love all animals, but they also seem to gravitate towards me. I grew up with pets, starting with the sweetest orange tabby cat and the world’s most intelligent Sheltie puppy. I was lucky enough to have these pets my entire childhood, and it gave me first hand experience with becoming a responsible pet carer of animals both young and old. I began sitting for neighbors’ pets when I was 13: this included caring for pets of all ages and dogs of all sizes, indoor and outdoor cats, hamsters, chinchillas, ferrets, fish and even chickens. I have experience bathing and grooming dogs and cats, administering medicine and caring for pets in ill-health and those recovering from injuries (although I hope your fur babies are healthy!).

Andrea took excellent care of our three cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled, and it was clear the cats were comfortable and happy with her. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

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.
