Pet care experience
Dogs and cats have been apart of my life since I can remember. I went through my first puppy training class at the tender age of 10. As an adult, I practice positive reinforcement training with great success. My dog, Chico, is an example of how rewarding all positive behavior pays off. I love my meow meow time, as well. Some have called me a kitty whisperer as I can get a scared or timid cat to allow me to pet it in a short time. I have been caring for and training dogs in the Roaring Fork Valley where I have lived since 1995. I can’t imagine a life without furry friends.
Reviews
Couldn’t be more thankful for Andrea and her attentiveness to our Cici kitty. Great follow-through …great heart. I will definitely reach out to her again for pet sitting Cici.
Hands down the best care for our dog, Daisy. Andrea has a unique gift to understand dog behavior and gives care accordingly. Andrea makes your dog feel right at home in her home. She is very patient and loving and easy to coordinate with. I loved how she sent pictures and updates each day. She goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is cared for and she knows they are so much a part of your family. And loves your dog in a caring way.
I would board our dog Watson with Andrea again without hesitation. The daily pictures of happy Watson on walks with Chico made us smile! Andrea is conscientious and caring and I know Watson will look forward to his next stay.
You would never find a more dedicated animal loving person on this planet than Andrea. Her integrity and caring self is nonexistent over the task due on hand. If you hire Andrea for anything, you won't be disappointed. Andrea is rare and makes anyone that has contact with her very happy.

I live with my dog, Chico, and he goes everywhere with me. Pups staying with me will receive an included 30 min walk in the morning and a 30 min walk in the evening. If your dog needs more exercise an additional walk or hike can be scheduled.

Information Andrea C. would like to know about your pet
If there are any behaviors such as aggression, resource guarding, fear and submissiveness please let me know in advance. My dog, Chico, is a therapy dog and will join us on walks and hikes. Also, it's important to know what medical conditions your fur baby has if any. Please provide a copy of updated vaccinations from your vets office. If it is your fur baby's first stay with me, please have a t-shirt of sock that you have worn your scent will ease any possible separation anxiety.
A typical day
15-30 min walks around the neighborhood are usually leashed. We can go for a 2 hour hike off leash if the furry one has good recall. Or 1 hour at the dog park with good recall. If Fetch is your pups thing, I've got a Chuckit and lots of balls. For the older ones, some loving and an easy walk. Lots of pets and praising for all.
