Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are only crated for a couple hours when no one is home. I like them to feel at home and have space, multiple dog beds to choose from or the couch. I will leave their crate with the door propped open if they choose to go in their crate for any reason.

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Andrea P. would like to know about your pet

I try to provide a calm and relaxed environment. Feel free to message me with questions. I also volunteer with an animal rescue group, so I have had lots of experience with different types of dogs who come from different/difficult situations.

A typical day

Walks morning and evening weekdays, more often on weekends weather permitting. Potty breaks as needed. My dad can take them out in my unfenced yard on a leash while I work, and give them company and supervision/snuggles as well.

Senior Dog Care

Pet care experience

I have been petsitting with my 15 year old lhasa apso since 2012. He passed away suddenly in June 2024, so I no longer have a dog of my own, but may occasionally have a small foster dog. I will accept senior or calm, easy going small/medium dogs. I do work during the week but my dad is around to supervise while I am at work and make sure they get a potty break or two. They get walks morning and evening with me as well. For drop in visits, I am only available for once a day drop ins, so I usually only accept cats and can only do evening visits during the work week.

Andrea is communicative and reliable. Ive had her take care of my cat for 2 separate trips and hope that she is available for the next one too!

Andrea did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away on a business trip. She sent updates every day, including photos. When I came home I could tell my cat was very happy and had all of her needs met-she's a shy baby so she must have felt really safe with Andrea to have come out of her usual hiding spots for pets. Definitely recommend Andrea!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
