Availability
I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a top priority. Since I have pets of my own, caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm—whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or quiet companionship while I work. I’m able to adjust my remote work days to accommodate pet sitting or walking needs, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.

About Andrea O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, structured home where pets feel safe and cared for. For your cat or dog that is not fond of other dogs, my dog is moved to a different part of the house, making it so there is never contact with him. I use a completely separate, quiet area of my home — similar to a mother‑in‑law apartment setup. This helps shy or sensitive cats or dogs relax and feel secure. Every pet’s needs are different, and I adjust their environment so they feel at ease from the moment they arrive.
Home
Information Andrea O. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any medical needs or unique behaviors. Are they shy or social? Do they have triggers, allergies, or favorite toys? I also appreciate a heads-up on training cues, feeding schedules, and how they do on walks or around other animals. For safety and peace of mind, I also ask for emergency contacts—such as your preferred veterinarian and a trusted family member or friend who can make decisions on your behalf if needed. The more I know, the better I can tailor care to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free.
A typical day
We start with a morning walk—rain or shine—to get moving and explore, even though I have my own fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Throughout the day, I mix playtime, enrichment games, and cuddles based on each pet’s energy and personality. Meals and meds are handled with care, and I keep routines consistent to help pets feel safe and relaxed. Whether it’s a lively pup or a mellow senior, every moment is tailored to their comfort and happiness.

Loving Sitter with Vet Experience
Pet care experience
With over 5 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician in a clinical setting, I bring a level of professional care and medical insight that few sitters can match. I’ve worked hands-on with pets at every life stage—from rambunctious puppies learning the ropes to senior companions needing extra patience and specialized support. Whether it’s administering medications, recognizing early signs of discomfort, or simply knowing how to make a nervous pet feel safe and loved, I approach each animal with the same attentiveness and compassion I would offer my own. I’m comfortable with post-surgical care, chronic conditions, and unique behaviors, and I’m always happy to tailor my approach to your pet’s unique needs. I also love helping puppies build good habits early on and supporting older pets with gentle routines that keep them comfortable and engaged. My goal is to make every visit feel like a trusted extension of your care—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in capable, loving hands.

Reviews
Andrea was great with Kiba and Stasie! They immediately were comfortable and came home tired which we love to see. Thanks for taking care of our girls!
Excellent dog sitter! My dog stayed at her house and received wonderful care. Great communication, updates, and a welcoming environment. I would happily use her services again.
Bourbon had a blast and I felt very comfortable leaving my only child with andrea
Andrea was amazing! She picked up my dog and dropped him off for me because I was very overwhelmed that day. My dog felt comfortable to her fast and she was just awesome! Thanks again Andrea for everything ❤️
