Pet care experience

⭐ City-Wide Service ⭐

Experienced Rover sitter • Fostered 100+ rescue dogs • Serving all of Edmonton Providing reliable, experienced, and attentive pet care for all of Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert. Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to sharing my home with rescue dogs and cats of my own, I have spent nearly 10 years volunteering as a foster home for abused, abandoned, and special-needs dogs, helping over 100 dogs transition safely into loving forever homes. This hands-on rescue experience has given me a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, fear responses, leash manners, and trust-building with timid, reactive, or high-energy pets. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from toy breeds to giant breeds, and I always approach each pet with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also provide attentive care for cats, including feeding, litter maintenance, medication routines if needed, and companionship visits while owners are away. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, loving, low-stress care so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat care in your home, with weekday daytime availability and select flexible scheduling for recurring clients. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost, I follow the pet parent's instructions. With drop in services, I don't just feed and let the dogs out - I play with them and if the dog wants, snuggle them, for the duration of my services. When you book me for 30 minutes or 1 hour, I devote that time 100% to your pet!

Andrea understands dogs behaviour and body language. She was willing to come and bond with my dog who has a bit of fear aggression issues and it worked out great! We will definitely book her again as our regular.

Andrea has been really great with our large, overly affectionate Pitbull, and has treated him with such kindness and care. He is so excited every time she arrives, and his behaviour at home is already improved after just a few short weeks of her consistent walks with him. That is, except for him violently bodychecking people out of the way in his mad dash to get to the front door whenever it opens now because he hopes it's his new best friend, Andrea. Thank you for making him a happier pooch, Andrea!

Please share any important behavioural, medical, or routine information that will help me provide the best care possible for your pet. Helpful details include: • leash manners or pulling tendencies • dog/cat reactivity toward animals or people • fears, anxiety triggers, or aggression concerns • medications, allergies, or health conditions • feeding schedules and treat restrictions • favourite toys, walking routes, or comfort routines • house rules or commands they know I have extensive experience working with rescue animals, timid pets, strong pullers, and dogs with behavioural quirks, so the more information you provide, the better I can tailor each visit to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy. No pet is “too much” - I simply like to be prepared.
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.
