Availability
I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me.

Safety, trust & environment
I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.

Information Andrea "Andi" F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to account for. I will need to know what they eat daily and how many times they are fed per day and when. I am capable of administering medicines and/or insulin. I will also need to know about their behavior with new people and animals so that I can keep everyone safe.
A typical day
Peaches is 2 years old and would love a playmate or another dog to just hang out with. She loves other people and other dogs and is a confident yet submissive dog. She is very good at mirroring the behavior of other dogs - she is very calm around older or nervous dogs. We would play periodically throughout the day both inside and outside. Activities would be dependent of the time of year and the weather.

Brookland Dog Lady
Pet care experience
I’ve had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me.
Reviews
Andi watched our dog, Potter, at her home for a week, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Potter loved hanging out with Andi and her sweet dog, Peaches. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos Andi sent while we were away. It definitely gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. We came home to a happy, healthy, and incredibly well cared for pup. In fact, we can’t walk within a block of her house now without Potter pulling us toward her door to say hello! I highly recommend Andi to anyone looking for an exceptional boarding experience. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Andi is well known in the neighborhood for being a loving, conscientious and attentive dog owner. She has a cozy, dog friendly home with a fenced in back yard perfect for playtime. Her dogs past and present have always been incredibly well cared for and she is highly experienced with dogs overall as well as with handling issues that might come up. Can highly recommend!
You search is over. You could not find a more fun, compassionate caretaker for your fur babies. Andi is a true dog lover and it shows. All who know her know, that any dog in her care is treated as family. She has experience with puppies, eldercare/medically challenged, special needs fosters and everything in between. If you want to know that your furry bff is going to be treated like gold, she has you covered.
