I'm very attentive to dogs' needs.
Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life. In 2012, I made a career change to work with dogs and cats full time. I graduated a dog obedience instructor course. Then started working at a no kill animal shelter. I currently work at daycare and boarding facility. There, I've started a course recognizing canine body language. I'm also taking a course managing difficult dogs. I've always had smaller dogs but through my work I've gained experience with all sizes, breeds, temperments and any special needs. I love working with dogs and want to continue to learn and build upon my training and experience. I have two dogs, an 8yr tripod Chihuahua and a 15 yr old Jack Russell Terrier.

I have a senior dog (14 yrs old and mostly blind) whom Andrea has been familiar with in the past, my dog does not usually like new settings or new friends, after I had to leave town for a week Andrea kept my old girl and she has taken to being around other dogs if they move slow, and has opened up to being more tolerant of new people. She was fed a great semi raw diet along with her regular kibble she was walked regularly and learned to be around other little dogs her size and age. Andrea did a great job watching out for my old girl and I learned things about her that I didn't know, who knew a 14 year old dog who had always been labeled intolerant of dogs could be in a home with other little dogs and not only do well but thrive. Thanks for giving my little old lady more opportunities in her senior years.
Andrea (Renee) has house sat for my three dogs for the last year, and does a fantastic job. My dogs span the gamut of challenges from a senior in fragile health to dog aggression to a rambunctious puppy. Renee understands dogs well, has a background in reward-based dog training and can handle all of this like the professional she is. The icing on the cake - the dogs all love her We communicate regularly, and I feel 100% confident that my pups will be safe and well cared for when Renee is there.
