Pet care experience

Paws in Good Hands: Trusted Sitter

Hi, I’m Andrea – a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of experience working in veterinary hospitals! Caring for pets is more than a job for me it’s a passion. My passion for animals has inspired me to open my own in home doggie & cat hotel. My background in veterinary care means I’m trained to notice the little things that keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. Whether your furry friend needs cuddles, playtime, or special medical attention, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. My pet sitting style is completely tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with animals of all personalities there’s never been a pet I couldn’t handle! If your furry friend is full of energy, I’ll make sure they get plenty of playtime and exercise to help them burn it off. If they’re more of a laid back lounger, I’m just as happy to snuggle up with them for some cozy cuddles and a good binge watch session. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I do REQUIRE all PETS be BATHED BEFORE ENTERING MY HOME if unable to do so I can do it myself for an EXTRA CHARGE because I do allow pets on furniture. Yard is fully enclosed and will always be supervised while outside. Screened enclosed patio with pet beds for pets to lounge and enjoy the sunshine and night sky in any weather. ALL Pets are kept inside where the environment is temperature controlled and cool. Dogs will only be outside during supervised play and potty breaks. Please make sure your pets profile is updated and list any specifications I will need to know, along with how they play with other dogs small/large/and cats. New To Rover use code ANDREM85207 for a discounted stay WHAT TO BRING: The most important thing to bring is their food, treats, leash, and their bed. Also, your pets are welcome to bring a favorite toy but no bowels I have extra here.

Andrea is wonderful.. so glad we found her. Left our pet with her for 10 days and we were sent pics and updates regularly. She cares for the pets genuinely - had him bathed also before pick up. Will def use her services again and recommend her

Andrea kept our golden retriever over a weekend while we were out of town and she did a fantastic job. She definitely has an amazing rapport with pets. Additionally, she kept us updated on how things were going with frequent text messages, photos and videos. I will definitely book Andrea again the next time we plan a trip out of town.

We just moved to Houston so we are starting from scratch on who our people would be especially when it comes to Kookoo. I had used Rover ages ago and had a bad experience with my last so when we had a trip coming up I was hesitant. We didn’t want to go to boarding kennels since we know this boy will cry and bark all night if we did and we wouldn’t get updates when we need it. He is also a velcro boy and would be more comfortable sleeping with a human than by himself and we are particular with that - hence we took a chance and we are glad we did. Andrea is amazing, she took care of Kookoo very well and paid attention to detail. She had constant communication with us sending pics and videos and updates throughout the day. I’m so glad we found her! Thank you for giving Kookoo a bath before the pick up, I appreciate that a lot. We will see u again soon!

Andrea is literally the best! My dog was well taken care of and she sent me pictures throughout the day so I can see how he is while away on vacation. Communication was perfect and I’m so thankful I found her. 1000/10 recommend and will be booking with her for now on. Thank you for literally everything Andrea. I’m so appreciative of you!
