Hello! I’m Andra, a PhD student studying pollinators in urban green spaces at Edinburgh Napier Uni! While my research focuses on buzzing bees, my passion for animals extends far beyond insects. I grew up surrounded by pets and farm animals (self-proclaimed “chicken crazy lady” here) and later I studied Animal Biology and Conservation and. I've also had the incredible opportunity to work at sanctuaries caring for exotic animals rescued from illegal trade and circuses, including chimpanzees, monkeys, lions, and tigers*. Whether your pets are cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots, snakes, tarantulas, or even snails, I have probably cared for a similar pet before. However, renting in Edinburgh has made it tricky to have pets of my own, so I’m excited about the opportunity to spend more time with animals through pet sitting. 

I’m a sociable but introverted person and I always seek to create a reating a relaxing environment for pets. With personal and professional experience in animal behaviour, I take the time to understand their individual needs and personality, from the timid to the bold. Whether it’s dog walking, training, or house-sitting, I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s wellbeing above everything else.

Ultimately, I’m looking to grow my community of pet owners and provide a reliable, loving service that gives you peace of mind. Please do reach out—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! :)
