Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Andie and I am currently a college student working from home. I have been actively working at Old Derby Animal Hospital in Hingham, MA for 3+ years and absolutely love it! I am a Veterinary Technician Assistant and worked in dog/cat boarding for a while. My passion in life is to take care of animals and I am going to college to pursue a career as a veterinarian. I have a very sweet Miniature Schnauzer named Maggie Mae and a Leopard Gecko named Enzo. I also just adopted a retired race Greyhound named Moose! We are still working and learning all about him, but so far he has been the best and kind to all forms of life. *An important note about my two dogs is they are very friendly, but are very laid back and low energy. They are great at socializing, but aren't big play dogs. Maggie is old and doesn't like to be overwhelmed with a dog in her face/jumping on her. She mainly sleeps in the beds upstairs though away from where I mainly hangout with the pets I sit. Moose doesn't understand how to play with humans or dogs yet. He isn't at all aggressive to other dogs, besides for them jumping on him/humping him. He came from a race track life and spent his entire life without play or toys so we're working on that, but has no signs of toy aggression. Due to this I try to spend more time playing with pets I sit and interacting with them. * All my life I have grown up around different types of pets, mostly being dogs. I have a very good understanding of the care and well being of pets and am beyond eager to meet your best friends! I work on Mondays and Wednesdays 12-8 and Saturdays 8-3 so any dog boarding can come with me to work! There they can get plenty of love and have a close eye kept on as they stay in our present boarding area and coming home with me at the end of the day! They are individual large kennels, it is not like a doggie daycare with all the dogs in one enormous kennel.
Reviews
Andie took wonderful care of our rescue dog Cooper! She treated him like her own. She spent extra time brushing him (at the time he was blowing his coat and he loved the extra TLC). Andie also brought him on many walks and car rides which are his favorite. Her dog Moose warmed up to Cooper quickly and they became quick friends. We will use Andie again and would recommend her to our friends and family! (She also gave us some great tips from her experience at the Vet!)
Andie is a very capable individual studying to become a veterinarian My wife and I could not have been happier knowing Andie was watching over the family pooch?? Five Stars Mike & Barbara
Andie is such a great sitter and I completely trust her with my dog. She’s such a nice girl. She makes sure my dog is well taken care of and went above and beyond to satisfy her needs.
Andie has been working at a veterinary hospital for years now doing high level jobs in the hospital that she is only allowed to do because she actually knows what she is doing, she is proven useful member of their team, and is given a lot of responsibility solely based on her character. I don't think I have ever seen somebody with more love for animals in my whole life, she truly loves every dog and animal she comes across. After personally knowing her for years, Andie lynn Dibona is the best it is going to get when it comes to watching over a dog.

A typical day
I have a huge back and front yard so we can play a lot and go on many walks. I love going to the beach and hanging out there so I’d love to do that too. Also, there are parks around me and I love to drive around if your dog is comfortable with that. Tons of snuggles as well.
