Pet care experience
My childhood was spent on a farm caring and raising a variety of animals including dogs, cats, a raccoon, llamas, and horses. For five years I trained my childhood dogs, Dolly and Santa in our local 4H club and took placed in competitions on a local and state level. I even taught Dolly to jump into my arms on command. Our pet raccoon, Meeko, that was rescued and bottle-fed since infancy wasn't as trainable, but was an excellent companion for catching frogs and gathering snails while we played in the irrigation ditch. I now enjoy caring for my cats Dot, and Sassy, as well as my two pups Sam and Violet. Our daily routine begins early in the morning with no alarm clock needed for rising! Violet is the best alarm clock I have ever had, and I am always waking with a smile as we begin our day playing in bed. Then a trip outside to potty in the yard while I fill bowls with fresh water and food as well as clean the litter box. Then the pups and I head out on a walk, our favorite ways to get exercise is to head to the dog park where they can roam and play off-leash, however, most days we walk to one of the parks closest to our home to run and play fetch. We go out for other potty breaks during the day around my practice as a healer, checking to make sure water bowls are filled-especially on hot days. Frequently I work from home and this allows for extra play, love, attention, and trips outside. Later in the evening we go out for our another walk, a perfect way to wind down in the evenings after the day. Then dinner is served with a refill on fresh water and one last trip out before snuggling up with the creatures for the night. For a time I also cared for a hedgehog named Winston who required daily feeding/watering, handling, and cleaning of his litter box and living space. Such a cool creature!
Reviews
Everything went great. We communicated and met prior to drop off. Andrea allowed us to visit with her at her home where our dog would be staying. Throughout our ten day trip we received several emails and pics of the girl and how she was doing. With several other people and another dog, our dog had the opportunity to become a bit more socialized which was a very good experience for her.
Amazing attention to my sweetheart Rainbow made my vacation worry-free. She was even available to come pick him up due to time constraints. She sent pictures of a happy doggie which gave me much peace. Seriously, leaving your pup in Andrea's able care will allow you to have a real vacation. She is very attuned to the nuances of dogs and was sensitive to the needs of my new rescue. I could not have been more pleased. I will be availing myself of her services again soon.
Andrea is great! She has walked my dog, Wilson, multiple times during the day while I'm at work so I don't have to worry about him. She is really nice, accommodating, trustworthy, and responsible!

I love to take dogs on outdoor walks and adventures- keeping safety a priority. Anything from a walk in the park, playing off-leash (if well socialized) in a dog park, playing catch, or hiking trails that are safe for both my furry pal and I.
