I tailor each care experience to your pet's needs. I will respect and treat your family members, home, and belongings as I do my own. Contact me when you need reliable, in-home pet care; keep your pet comfortable and less anxious while you're away. I understand that when you're away, schedules may change, the weather may hinder our travel, and you may need me to squeeze in extra time or visits. I will always work with you to make sure your pet and home are safe. I will help you manage both the mundane and the unexpected.

Andrea took great care of our Australian Shepherd Josie. She sent photos and videos of Josie the whole time she took care of her. Josie loves to play ball and frisbee and Andrea gave her much attention and play time. We would definitely use Andrea again.

Andrea was very attentive to our old dog, Leo. She didn't hesitate to provide extra care as needed. She communicated regularly and sent pics.

As a trusted pet sitter in the Colchester and East Haddam area, I can be depended on to ensure your pet is well cared for. Pet sitting is my main focus and a top priority for me. I am flexible to provide care most of the time with some notice.

16 to 40 lbs

over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Andrea can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Tell me about your pet’s preferences to ensure I can provide them with the best care. What is their favorite treat? What is their favorite toy? Do they not like to be touched anywhere specific? Do they have any funny habits or preferences? The more I know, the better! I look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly!) family members.
