Loving and experienced pet friend!
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs, cats and reptiles all my life. At 5 years old I told my mom I wanted to walk dogs for a living, so 3 years ago I left my job in photography to pursue this career full time and haven't looked back since. I'm experienced and comfortable with administering medication (oral and injections) and am officially certified in pet CPR and first aid. If necessary, I can also do baths, clip nails and express anal glands. I'm more than happy to snap some professional shots of your pup while you're away as well! I have a chiweenie named Nugget who loves to make new friends and is also a great host at our apartment! I now have an entire spare bedroom set up just for our guest pups, so they can stay in a larger space than a crate when I need to step out.
Reviews
Andrea did an amazing Job!! With last minute notice over the Christmas holiday she house sat for my 7 month puppy and two cats. She went beyond the call of duty and I think even added some tricks to Pepe's repertoire. I would 100 percent recommend her and she will be my go to pet sitter from now on.
Andrea loves pets of all kinds and is excellent with dogs especially. For the last few years she has worked at two different doggie day care facilities and the management just love her because the clients love the way she takes time with each individual dog. From that she has had numerous dog walking and house sitting clients. She is also an excellent photographer having worked professionally for several studios. So if you want a high quality portrait of that special friend, Andrea is definitely the one you want behind the lens.
Andrea is an outstanding dog walker and wonderful person. Andrea genuinely loves dogs and is unfailingly sensitive to the emotional and/or physical needs of our dog. She thoughtfully texts us updates and photos of their walks together which are delightful to receive. We truly enjoy knowing this intelligent, responsible, warm hearted animal lover. If our dog were writing this testimonial for Andrea, it would read: BIG WOOF!
Andrea has always loved animals, especially dogs. She has been working very closely with dogs for many years and has developed a very keen second sense and connection with them. The animals tend to trust her when not trusting others. The animals and Andrea seem to speak to each other without using words. Andrea is a very hard worker always giving above and beyond. She is dedicated to her work and is very honest, dependable, and trustworthy. Andrea provides a good, loving, and caring atmosphere for all animals.

As long as the pup is potty trained and doesn't chew up anything, Nugget and I are happy to have them stay with us!
A typical day
If need be I am able to do baths and clip *most* pups nails while I'm caring for them. I have access to a fenced in play yard at my apartment complex, and it appears I'm the only person who uses it! My dog Nugget loves to play with new friends, and really enjoying fetching with her buddies in the yard, so if your dog is playful they'll likely become BFFs! However, she will also be calm around dogs who prefer their space.
