Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional pet and home care
Two decades of experience in professional pet care! If my rates are inaccessible for you, please reach out anyways and we can work something out! I think everyone should have access to affordable pet care! I started when I was just 12 years old walking my neighbours dogs and pet sitting their cats, soon those neighbours were so happy with my service that they referred me to their friends, and those friends referred me to more friends, and so the story goes. I have experience with all types of dogs, from dachshunds to pit bulls, from puppies to seniors. I am able to modify a service to suit your dogs needs, from small walks around the block to trail runs on Chilliwack Community Forest. I have worked for a high-volume dog daycare in downtown Vancouver where I learnt valuable skills on dog behavioural patterns and training techniques.
Cat care experience
Andrea also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I am available to be a full-time, live-in housesitter while you're away. I am adaptable to your pet's rhythms and routines. I enjoy plenty of walks, snuggles on the couch, and giving out healthy treats (carrots are my dog's favorite). I am not only an experienced pet sitter, but a passionate homemaker. I will make sure that your pet stays happy, your house stays tidy, and your garden stays watered. I'm happy to do any housekeeping, including picking up the mail, tidying up the yard, or watering the houseplants!
Ratings and reviews
Andrea spent 10 days taking care of my dog Vince, my home & all the outdoor plants. She always does an amazing job and I will continue to use her without any hesitation.
Andrea was quick to respond, punctual, and took good care of our dogs, one who's anxious and the other a needy senior. We'd ask her back!
Andrea is an amazing dog/house sitter. She keeps me updated and I come home to a happy dog!
Andrea has been so amazing with our pup! She provides constant updates, ensures she is providing the best possible care by sticking to my dogs routine and treated our house like her own. Could not recommend Andrea more!!
Andrea looked after our two dogs in our home for three days and was fantastic! She took great care of them, including three walks a day, play and feeding, and multiple medications for our older dog. She kept us informed with regular texts, photos and videos each day. She left the house clean and the dogs very happy and healthy. Would definitely rebook with Andrea!!
Andrea was so caring with our dog, and provided our dog with everything we requested. Her daily updates reassured us that she was in good hands. She also took care of our house as if it were her own. I would highly recommend Andrea!

Schedule
I am a passionate multi-hyphenate freelancer, and every day looks a bit different! My main gigs are teaching yoga at local rec centres and universities, and pet sitting here on Rover. I'm also getting my MA at a distance program offered by UVic, so I spend most of my days reading and writing. On days I am working, I am usually gone anywhere from 2 to 6 hours.
