I've known Andrea since she was a baby. She's been around animals her entire life, especially dogs. From the smallest puppy to large breeds, she's been exposed to a wide variety. Her mother has always owned and trained German Shepherds that Andrea has also helped train throughout the years. At one point her mom had 27 animals on her farm, so Andrea has been exposed to many different types of animals including ferrets, goats, pigs, hamsters, donkeys... so she's very qualified in whatever animal would need sitting - especially horses. She's been riding since age 2. In addition to her knowledge of dogs and animals, she also has a kind and gentle way with them. She's a very responsible young lady and has performed well in academics and athletics. She has loved and cared for my animals, including my rescue horse that she helped rehabilitate. Of all the young people I know, Andrea shines brightest with her fun personality and incredible intelligence. She's trustworthy, loving and smart. She'd be an asset to any company, but I think she'd excel with all of her talents as a dog sitter.
