Familiar with deaf/blind dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Andrea. I used to own a deaf dog, but she passed away at the ripe old age of 16 in September 2021. From her, I learned how to train and own a dog that is deaf. I have since learned how to also train and take care of a blind and blind/deaf dog. I own three other dogs: Lyra an 84lb white shepherd mix, Sherlock a mutt, who is an anxiety riddled derp, and Mithrandir, a blind/deaf Catahoula Leopard Dog. I first began pet sitting for family and close friends when they went out of town. Eventually, I decided to branch out to Rover where I know my experience and love for our four-legged friends will be perfect for pet owners all around the San Diego area. I know how hard it is to be away from our pets so I’ll be in constant and consistent communication, sending photo and text updates so you know what we’re up to while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions to a ‘T’ because no one knows your dog better than you. Your pups and I will spend the evenings together taking walks, playing, snuggling, whatever they prefer. We will try to stick to their morning and afternoon/evening routines to keep a sense of normalcy in your absence. How you want your pup to be taken care of while you are away is how I want to take of them. My goal is to provide as little disruption to their daily care and routine as possible. For you cat lovers: I am also experienced in taking care of them as well! I am happy swing by, make sure they have food, water, companionship, and a clean litterbox as needed. Please note, I do work full-time M-F in downtown San Diego. I am usually gone from 530 am until 345 pm.
Reviews
Drea was very easy to work with, provided updates for our three boys and did well with them. Will definitely request her again.
I am so glad I found someone like Drea who has experience with deaf dogs. She did a great job and followed instructions. She made sure Torrey was taken care of and knew how to make Torrey feel safe. I would highly recommend.
Professional, very communicative, and friendly! Took notes on the meet and greet, extremely attentive. Handled tough situations with the pets as best as possible and also went above and beyond house sitting doing laundry of my guest bedroom sheets.
Drea was an awesome pet sitter for our dog Louis. We were very excited about her professionalism, attentiveness to our dog’s particular needs, and exceptional care. The most outstanding quality of Drea is her understanding and love for dogs. She was not intimidated by Louis’s initial reserved attitude to her, and absolutely won his disposition. Drea sent us daily updates, which gave us information and peace of mind. We are very grateful! Thank you!

I work to care for your pets like you do. I try to obtain as many details as possible regarding their routine and care so I can give them the best attention in your absence.
Information Drea R. would like to know about your pet
I'm good with special needs animals. I understand the attention and focus it takes to raise one of these dogs, teach them commands, and keep them on a leash.
A typical day
I try to keep the dogs on their preferred routes and routines; most of the dogs I watch tend to be seniors who don't walk far, but if they are still up for it, we'll explore.

Availability
I work full time, M-F during the day, but am more than happy to swing by and take care of your pets in my spare time or stay with them overnight.
