Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH artist, cat dad, dog sitter
Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with pets and has a little black cat at home. I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet!

Ratings and reviews
Andrea has helped me take care of my pup Marshall on multiple occasions since I have to travel often and sometimes for extended periods of time! I can rely on their help knowing they take the best care in Marshall's specific needs and schedule. I've known Andrea even before adopting Marshall and know them to be truly trustworthy and responsible in general! I most especially appreciate their ability to accommodate their schedule any time I need a pet sitter. Their love for pets is what matters most since i know Andrea will give all the attention Marshall deserves!!
Andrea helped us take care of our puppy Rigatoni when we first brought him home and had no idea what we were doing. Rigatoni was quite the handful with a regimented schedule, without all of his shots yet so we had to be so careful, and at his most impressionable stage when we were so nervous to leave him with anyone. There’s no one else I would have trusted during that precious time than Andrea!!! He has the most calming energy, and it amazed me how much Rigatoni would calm down around him! Rigatoni just completely fell in love with him and to this day he is one of his favorite people.

Schedule
I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.

A typical day
I know each dog has different needs, so I like to adjust to what their routine at home is like. I like going on long walks with dogs who are less social, or going to the park and socializing with other dogs for those who enjoy it. At home I stay around them at all times and let them get comfortable wherever they prefer. Feeding times depend on each dog's needs, so I'll adjust to their schedule at home.
