Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible Schedule, Reliable Care
Hi, I'm Andrea! I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, ranging from puppyhood to senior care. Recently, I lost with my beloved soul dog, Lucy, who was my best friend of 16 years. While my home feels a bit too quiet right now, I have an abundance of love, patience, and experienced care left to give. Turning my focus toward helping other pet parents brings me immense joy, and I treat every animal in my care with the same deep devotion I gave my own. Because I have a highly reliable and flexible schedule, I am completely open to tailoring my day around your pet's exact routine. 15+ Years of Expertise: Over a decade of hands-on experience means I understand pet behavior, body language, and the exact signs of a happy, healthy animal. All-Weather Walker: I genuinely love going for walks and staying active, rain, snow, or shine. Your pup will never miss their daily outdoor time or exercise just because of a cloudy day. Senior & Special Needs Familiarity: Having cared for my own dog through all stages of life, I am incredibly comfortable with senior pacing, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Completely Flexible Availability: My open schedule means your pet will receive undivided attention, timely potty breaks, and a consistent, stress-free routine. I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs high-energy companionship or just a quiet, reassuring presence to lounge next to while you are away, I adapt entirely to their comfort level. You can expect frequent photo updates and seamless communication throughout our time together.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety on the Move: I practice strict safety protocols on walks. I never allow interactions with unknown dogs, keep a firm grip on the leash, and stay highly aware of our surroundings. Detailed Post-Visit Reports: After every walk or visit, you will receive a detailed update, including a map of our route (for walks), a potty update, and plenty of photos. Home Security & Trust: I will respect your home, privacy, and security. I am extremely mindful of locking doors, setting alarms, and leaving your house exactly as I found it.
Ratings and reviews
Andrea did a great job and followed all instructions for our pets. She left a nice note for us and pictures!
I have been friends with Andrea since we have been 5 years old. In that time my family has had many dogs. Andrea has always helped me walk them and she would watch them for my parents all the time. She was gentle , caring , and kind to each and every one of them. They would get so excited when they saw her coming. Since I have been an adult I have had only cats and the same thing goes. My one cat is scared of people but has never been scared of her from day one. The only person he has done this with and is willing to hang out in the living room with us. She has watched them for me for weeks I have been out of town and when I come back they are so happy and not stressed that I left them at all. She’s amazing with all animals.
For 17 years, Andrea Paris gave her beloved Lucy unwavering love, care, loyalty, and companionship. Their bond was more than that of a pet and owner—it was a beautiful, deeply meaningful relationship built on trust, devotion, and countless shared moments. Continued dog walking would allow Andrea to carry that love forward, providing companionship, purpose, healing, and joy. Andrea has devoted so much of her life to caring for her Lucy; allowing her to continue this simple but meaningful tradition honors not only Andrea’s commitment, but the extraordinary love and loyalty she has shared for so many years.
Andrea is a true animal lover. She even went as far as making fresh food in small batches for her dog when it started to show some signs of aging related issues that required a more specialized diet than just kibble. I know she has also taken friends dogs out for walks and from what they’ve said she took great care of there fur babies, even bringing them treats. She has also cared for friends animals when they have traveled and from what I’ve heard they were very happy with the care she provided to their dogs and cats.

Schedule
I offer dependable drop-in visits and walks tailored completely to your dog's energy level and routine. Because I teach part-time at the YMCA, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can easily accommodate mid-day work breaks, morning strolls, or evening routines.
