A house is not a home without a dog

Pet care experience

A house is not a home without a dog....or cat! I've been helping take care of dogs and cats for the past 15 years plus-at friend's homes, neighbor's homes and in my own home. I have experience giving oral medication to dogs and cats in addition to topical medications as well as taking care of several dogs at one time. As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you can't be with your pets. Having someone who will love your pets as their own while you're gone is any pet parent’s top priority. I have had dogs in my family since I was in elementary school and always plan to have one - mine makes my life complete. She is literally my best friend! I added a stray cat in 2012 and have come to learn a lot about cats and love them as well. In March 2018 we brought Penny home. In March 2019 we brought Hazel to join the clan. In January 2020 we welcomed our first human baby - and lucky for us he loves dogs! Daisy 🌼 2007~2021 🌈 Winnie 🐱 2005? ~ 2022 🌈 ******I'm a massage therapist so my hours may be a bit "non traditional”. My schedule varies day by day but it’s the same every week so please inquire with me about days and times... or if you need a massage :) if I say I’m unavailable I still may be able to help depending on the time needed *******

Andrea is awesome! You can tell she wants to provide the best care for animals. It was nice to know our Georgie was in good hands!

Andrea is awesome. She is a seasoned owner of Labs, so did a great job with our 3 labs. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks again!!

Andrea was so great with our cats! One has a fussy meal plan and it was all no problem. I will definitely be calling on her services again!

It was wonderful to have Andrea watch our puppy! She was so caring toward her and it was great that our puppy had her dogs to play with!

We have a fenced in yard so there is no need to worry about dogs getting loose while they are playing outside. Having labs, I’m careful not to leave anything out that dogs can get into (and believe me, labs will eat anything 😂)

Information Andrea G. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences but having a small child, I am cautious of stereotyped “aggressive” breeds. Meet and greets are a great way to see if your dog is a good fit. Eating and bathroom habits, sleeping arrangements, any medications or diet restrictions, average activity level, current schedule, etc is helpful as well. We live in the woods so I would strongly recommend that your dog is up to date with flea and tick medicines.

A typical day

We have a house with a fenced in yard so your dog can run and play outside. We have a dog pool for summer days and plenty of toys. Our day usually ends with a dog slumber party :)

I work part time, and if I’m not home, my husband or my parents - who have their own dog, help with ours, and were with Daisy the hours before she passed (and can be available for meet and greets if necessary) - are generally at the house with my son.
