Animal Care and Mgmt UMD Student

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Andrea B.! I speak fluent Spanish. Formerly, I was a veterinary technician in Southern Maryland. Currently, I am pursuing an animal science care and management major at UMD. My dream is to open a luxury dog hotel and spa. I am a full time student and classes are in person. I have experience with a large variety of animals and provide special services such as nail trims and baths at no extra charge as long as the pet is compliant. All dogs have different personalities and I love to work with them all! Post COVID many animals will be struggling with separation anxiety. I’m learning how to train dogs to handle their anxiety. Let me know any concerns or goals you have for your pet. I will also help with potty training and crate training. I do have a neutered male dog at home who is 39 lbs and very friendly with other animals. He normally teaches my rover dogs the rules of my home. Please let me know how I can help you! I also recently created an Instagram account where I would love to feature your dog. @around_the_block_dogsitting My class schedule is as follows: M: 3-3:50 T: 11-12:50. Break to go home and take out dogs. 2-4:45 W: 3-3:50 Th: 11-12:50. Break to go home and take out dogs. 2-4:45 F: 1-3:50 My apartment building has a dog park where I where I take the dogs out the majority of the time. In the mornings and evening we may do a run or walk around paint branch trail or lake Artemesia. All dogs are fed separately.

Thank you again Andrea for taking such good care of our dog Mia! We were able to enjoy our family vacation without having to worry about how she was doing. We also really appreciate your flexibility with drop off and pick up times and your responsiveness.

We are so happy we found Andrea! Our dog is both a shelter and pandemic pup and has a history of abuse. Consequently, she has a lot of problems with strangers- making it very difficult for us to find care for her while we’re away. We did a meet & greet with Andrea before booking and we were so impressed with her knowledge and experience working with “challenging” dogs. Upon meeting Andrea for the first time, our pup didn’t growl or show any fear aggression that she often does with strangers. Andrea has a calm, gentle, and patient nature, and I think our dog sensed that. We got great updates about our dog’s stay, and felt relaxed on our trip knowing that she was in good hands. We’ve already booked another stay with Andrea!

My puppy had the best time with Andrea! Andrea was also great about sending updates/photos and was also flexible with drop off/pick up which I really appreciated. We are definitely going back for future boarding/daycare sessions :)

Information Andrea B. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I will ask for you to please send me a picture of the most recent shot records. When dropping off dogs, bring a blanket that smells like home and their dog food. I recommend you don’t bring toys as the dogs can destroy them here. Don’t worry, I have a lot for them to play with!

A typical day

A typical schedule for daycare starts with a morning run. These span from 1-3 miles. Then we head to a dog park to get the extra energy some dogs have out. Around 1 we go do a short stint at the dog park or go for a short walk at the back of my building. At 5 pm we go for another long walk or a long dog park session depending on how social your pet is and how the temperature is. Around 8 we go for another quick walk before bed. On walks I can take your dog down paint brush trail or around my neighborhood.
