Ratings and reviews
Andrea had great communication and was a trooper walking Carrot in the rain
I would strongly recommend thinking twice before booking with this pet sitter. I had four visits scheduled, but after completing only the first, she canceled halfway through the day during the exact time I needed her. I was at my sister’s wedding all day and relied on the care we had agreed upon, leaving my dogs without care and me scrambling during an important family event. I was very clear beforehand about how my dogs would act upon arrival. I explained that they would bark, but that they were friendly and would not hurt anyone. Despite knowing this ahead of time, she became uncomfortable with their barking and canceled. In my opinion, being unable to handle barking dogs is unacceptable for a professional pet sitter. The lack of communication and last-minute cancellation was extremely stressful and unreliable. I would not book with her again.
Amazing caregiver. Great communication. Kept us updated on how our Millie was doing. Kind. Patient. Very attentive to our pup. Grateful for the night out she let us have. We will be rebooking and fully recommend Andrea.
Thoughtful. Thorough. Reliable. Attention to detail. Amazing
Andrea is fantastic!! our first meet and greet reassured me that she was the perfect fit for our dog. She is personable, very flexible and understood the nuances of a very particular Covid dog. We look forward to working with Andrea for future bookings and recommend her to anyone looking for a warm companion for their pet. Andrea sent detailed updates and photos and reassured me the whole time
Andrea was truly incredible, especially given how last-minute everything was. She came all the way out to my home in a newer, more remote community without hesitation, which I really appreciated. From the moment she arrived, she was kind, compassionate, and incredibly accommodating. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions, wanted clear notes and structure, and made sure she understood everything—from routines to where the treats and supplies were. That level of care and attention gave me immediate peace of mind. My two dogs absolutely adored her and felt comfortable right away, which says everything. She also did a wonderful job caring for my two independent cats—something not everyone takes the time to do well, but she absolutely did. Andrea is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets (and home) with real care and respect.
