Professional and reliable pet care!
Pet care experience
I have over 15 years of professional experience caring for animals and have been providing individualized care in my home for 5 years. I am home full time with my toddler, so guest dogs must be comfortable around small children. We welcome all sizes and breeds as long as they have basic manners (potty trained, no excessive jumping, barking, nipping, chewing, etc). We do not currently have any personal pets but we do occasionally foster for a local organization. All guest dogs MUST be dog friendly. When the weather is nice, we spend a lot of time outdoors in our fenced yard. Indoors, dogs have access to the entire home (except for bedrooms- we keep those doors closed during the day). I have crates available if your dog requires or enjoys crate time. We offer a home-away-from-home experience for your pups and are pleased to offer individualized care and flexibility. I am committed to the safety, comfort, and happiness of your dog. New boarding guests MUST attend one daycare day before boarding to assure that we are a good fit before a long-term stay and allows the opportunity for pups to become familiar with our family, our home, and our routines. I have found that this helps them to settle into their vacation with us with less stress and the comfort of knowing that this is just a visit and mom/dad will be back soon! Daycare: Drop-off times are by appointment only between 7 -9 a.m. Pick-up times are by appointment only between 4-6 p.m. *Drop-off and pick-up requests outside of these hours may incur an additional fee. Boarding: Drop-off and pick-up times are by appointment only and must be agreed upon at the time of booking. Please include your desired drop-off/pick-up times in your reservation request. Daycare and Boarding: *A fee of $5 per every 10 minutes may apply for late pick-up. I will do my best to accommodate any special requests, please just let me know how I can help! Thank you for reading my entire profile! Please mention code 'Happy Paws' for a one-time discount on your first booking!
Reviews
Andrea was accomodating with our needs (our dog has a torn acl and waiting for surgery in the upcoming weeks) and was able to stop in to bring her outside for a quick bathroom break and some company. She was very helpful in showing me how to navigate Rover as it’s our first time using it!
Very good experience at Andrea’s for my dog. I won’t hesistate to bring her there again. Peace of mind is priceless.
Andrea is wonderful and I highly recommend her. She is great with my pups.
Andrea has done a great job making our rescue puppy Gracie feel at home! We went for a short session last week and when we took her back this week for the day she was really happy to get there, a great review from the puppy herself!

Information Andrea C. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting for your pup I would like to know about any behavioral challenges, medical issues, and/or anything I can do to help make his/her stay more comfortable. As I run my business from my home, it is helpful for me to know about: triggers, housetraining issues, excessive barking, separation anxiety, potentially destructive or dangerous behaviors, etc.
A typical day
Playtime in our home and large, fully-fenced yard is always closely monitored. We provide a variety of toys and games to entertain your pups busy brain! Dogs are matched in playgroups by personality and we are always working on socialization skills and basic manners using positive reinforcement training techniques.
