Pet Sitting Mission Lake

“Responsive and great with my old man dog.”

Josh S.

About: Hello! My name is Andie, and I’m a cat lady, dog lover, bookworm, and traveler. I work as a freelance editor, so I can work from anywhere, and my schedule is very flexible. * As a big animal lover, I love the opportunity to make new furry friends. I currently have a cat (Luna), as well as having cats and dogs growing up. I’ve worked as a dog and cat sitter in Philadelphia and Kansas City for several years, and I also house/pet sit through Trusted Housesitters, a service that facilitates lodging around the world in exchange for house/pet sitting. * Through these experiences, I’m accustomed to working with a variety of types and personalities of cats and dogs, as well as caring for rescue and/or nervous pets. I’m calm and patient, diligent in following specific instructions, and committed to making sure your furry friends are healthy, comfortable, happy, and well loved even while you're away! I’m organized, reliable, and tidy, I’ll make sure your home and/or pet(s) get the respect and care they deserve so you can relax in knowing your home and beloved beasties are safe and well cared for! I’m also very communicative and am happy to provide updates and photos as frequently as you like (because there's no such thing as too many cute animal pics). My schedule is very flexible, so I can structure my days around your pet’s routine. I typically work from home during the day and sometimes run errands or go out in the afternoon/evening. I’m not usually out late or gone for more than a few hours at a time. I also love to be active, so I’m happy to walk/play with pets as much as needed. I try to maintain a routine and environment as close as possible to what pets are used to—feeding and walking at their usual times, etc. I love spending time with pets, whether that means taking a dog out on an exploration or cuddling up with a lap cat/dog, but overall I want pets to be comfortable, so I cater to each pet’s preferences and comfort levels.

“Elisa was flexible and fabulous with our old man.”

“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Mallory has watched my cat Zip on 2 different occasions, both extensively. Zip and I are very happy with Mallory and I will definitely use her again if she's available on my next vacation. She sent photos everyday of Zip and he looked very happy in all of them .”

“Kristy is absolutely the best! Both my cats are in love with her, even my shy girl. It's such peace of mind to know my babies are being cared for as if they were her own. Kristy goes above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. I've already got her lined up for more visits. Thank you, Kristy! I don't know what I would have done without you!”

Kathy W.

“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”

“Katie did a fantastic job taking care of our perfect handsome Walter. We asked him how it went and he said I like Katie a lot mom. She was very nice to me and she took great care of me. You would approve mom!!”

“Christina did an amazing job taking care of my rabbit! She is kind, punctual, and trustworthy. I will definitely contact her next time we are out of town.”

Emma M.

“We worked with Monet three times during the week we met her and she is phenomenal! Her first visit put us at complete ease when she met our two cats and 1 dog. It was immediately clear that she possessed the knowledge, care, and attention to take care of our three pets without us worrying. The next two visits during the week were drop-ins. Monet sent great pictures, provided detailed visit reports, and respected all requests that were previously covered. It is so reassuring to work with Monet and know that she'll provide that love and care when we need. Thank you, Monet!”

Michael B.

“It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.”

About: You can count on me to give your pup lots of love 🥰! I have cared for, lived with, and helped train dogs. At your request, I can work on basic obedience or trick training (such as sit, down, stay, spin, bow, and paw). Positive reinforcement is my mantra all the way—NO choke chains, slip leads, or shock collars 😃. I have trained my own dog several party tricks through a reward-based system. See a photo of me working with my little pup to progress him to a handstand. Please note that I have some dog allergies; little to no shedding is strongly preferred. A meet-and-greet is required to prioritize the dog’s safety and health. Vaccinations, along with flea, tick, and heartworm medications, are mandatory. As a Rover newbie with a tentative work schedule, I am happy to build up to more periodic care for your fur baby. We can start with a trial day and then advance to a couple of days before launching into a more frequent schedule. I can accommodate special requests. If you want regular updates, photos, or videos, that is no problem. Just let me know what you require 😊. The health, safety, and wellbeing of your pup is my number one priority! As a pet parent myself who has also relied on Rover, I know how stressful it can be to put your complete trust in a stranger. I am committed to frequently monitoring your fur baby while they are under my care. This can range from putting on a leash indoors to using a play pen or moving any major objects out of reach. Your wish is my command 🙂.

“Catherine is ALWAYS my go-to. Leaving my kitties at home was always stressful until meeting her. I get a thorough message and photos per visit and they absolutely love hee.”
