About Andrea F.

Safety, trust & environment
I always ask to do a meet & greet for boardings and day care to ensure our pets are comfortable with each other and would enjoy being around each other. I like to get an overview of your dog’s typical routine (when they usually go out and when they eat/how often) so I can stick to that when you’re gone to mitigate any separation anxiety/nerves your pet may experience. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. One of the amenities provided is a large (and private!) fenced-in dog park. This dog park is for residents only, so it's perfect for more reactive dogs who want to enjoy some off-leash time as it's not as crowded as a public dog park. My apartment has a beautiful balcony for your pets to sun bathe on or to people-watch from. There is a small set of stairs your pup will need to traverse when staying with me, but I’m happy to provide assistance for dogs with mobility issues or injuries. Being a fellow pet owner myself, I have tons of games and toys your pet can play with including toys for strong chewers, snuffle mats, and puzzles for dogs that like extra mental stimulation. I have several dog beds, but feel free to bring your own when leaving your dog for boarding/day care. I am comfortable crating your pet at night/while I'm out running errands if that's what you'd prefer. On the occasions when I do leave the house, I separate the dogs and have the Furbo camera turned on so I can keep an eye on your pup and make sure they’re happy and calm! Meet & greets are not required for drop-in services, but if you have the availability, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure they’re comfortable with my presence.

Information Andrea F. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the nuances of your dog’s daily schedule in order to provide comfortable care for them. Some examples of this include: when they usually wake up and go to bed, knowing whether they eat multiple meals a day or prefer to graze throughout the day, if your dog has any nerves/anxieties, how often the prefer to go out, etc. This information typically gets covered during meet & greets. I always ask to do a meet & greet for boardings and day care to ensure our dogs are comfortable with each other and would enjoy being around each other.
A typical day
The dogs I’ve hosted for boarding and day care enjoy having my dog around - it typically helps them adjust to being away from you and provides them with plenty of play time!

Pet care experience
I've been a pet owner since 2020, but before I adopted a dog and two cats (and a lizard!) of my own, I dog sat for family members and friends. I have a lot of experience with these apps, as I have been offering services through Rover for over three years, and offered services through the Wag! app in the past. I am comfortable caring for pets of any size, and enjoy getting to know them! Additionally, I have experience administering oral and topical medications, and can certainly stick to whatever medication schedule your pup may currently be on. I also have several years of experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs (deaf, blind, anxious). My experience isn’t limited to just dogs! I’ve cared for small animals such as lizards, birds, and guinea pigs before.
Reviews
Andrea F. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Andrea was attentive, sent photos and video during the stay. Nami had a great time. Thanks! Abby
I felt completely at ease leaving my dog (and guinea pig!) in Andrea’s hands. She was friendly, professional and reliable!
Andrea, on very short notice, was able to come walk my dog for a few days when I was unable. There were a couple caveats to my initial booking request that she presented prior to me actually placing the booking, which I very much appreciated as it demonstrated professionalism, as opposed to a gotcha after the fact.
