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 and leash, their bed is optional . Also, your pets are welcome to bring a favorite toy but no bowels I have extra here. For my privacy and safety, I no longer invite pet parents inside my home due to a previous negative experience. My home is my personal residence, not a facility for tours or showings. Everything you’d like to see including where your pup will stay, play, and relax is shown in my photos. I also ask that you respect the fact that I am home all day caring for the pups in my care. My focus is on providing them with constant supervision, love, and attention, and I do my best to avoid leaving them unsupervised. They also aren’t fans of me leaving the house and tend to stage quite the barking protest when I do! 😆 For that reason, if you’re comfortable skipping the meet and greet, I’m more than happy to accept bookings as long as your pup is friendly, and non-aggressive toward other dogs. After years of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, I’m confident in helping new pups settle in and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. For confirmed bookings: Please do not knock or ring the doorbell, as it creates total chaos and sends the pups into a frenzy. 😆 When you arrive, simply send me a text letting me know you’re outside, and I’ll come out to greet you. Please also avoid arriving unannounced. If I haven’t responded right away, I’m most likely busy feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after, or simply spending quality time with the pups. My days stay very full, but I will always respond as soon as I’m able to. Thank you for respecting my time, my home, and the routine that helps keep all of my furry guests happy, safe, and stress-free.

Andrea didn’t just take care of our pup, she made her a part of the family. We received photos daily of all the fun she was having. Will definitely be using Andrea again.

Andrea was AMAZING… she sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay. We were especially nervous since our dog is a diabetic and gets nervous but Harley seemed so comfortable at her house. Will definitely be booking with Andrea for all our vacas. Thank you for being such a great sitter !!!

Andrea went above and beyond to accommodate our 2 large dogs! She played with them, took them on walks, offered them on her furniture through her home, just like they were her own pups! When they wouldn’t eat their dry kibble, she offered to use her own wet food to mix it in so they would eat. Our dogs left so happy! She TRULY CARES! Would definitely use her over and over again!!! Thank you!!
