Your guilt-free time away!

Pet care experience

If you are looking for a safe and happy home for your dog and a guilt-free time away, you are in the right place! I’m a retired executive who unapologetically loves dogs, and I’m happy to extend a warm welcome to your precious friend. My spacious house comes with a large fenced yard, doggie door for potty breaks anytime day and night, lots of toys, play and belly rubs. Dogs are allowed to run freely in the house as well as hang out on couches so that they can cuddle with me. I’ll keep a close eye on your dog, feed him/her according to your instructions, and administer meds if required. For over a decade I used to breed Dobermans, and now I have a wonderful 7-year old dog Raven who was a rescue at seven weeks. Raven is a Lab/Border Collie mix who gets along super well with all dogs and people. She loves to play with our guest dogs and keeps them exercised. Raven is a Certified Therapy, Crisis and Airport Dog and has three AKC Titles. There are no other animals or children in the house. You’re welcome to leave your dog with me for an overnight stay, extended stay or daycare. No need to worry about strict drop off/pick up times – I’m flexible. Feel free to reach out to say Hi and ask any questions you might have. To summarize: • Retired executive, dog lover all my life • Loving environment, lots of toys, play and belly rubs • Lots of care and attention, never more than 6 guest dogs in the house • No children or animals in the house, except for my super friendly 7-year old dog Raven Home care • Spacious 4,000 sf house • Doggie door for potty breaks anytime day and night • Large fenced yard • 6-foot wood plank fence all around • Plush green grass in the yard • Home sits on ¼ acre lot • Dogs run freely around the house • Dogs are allowed on couches so they can cuddle with me • Well-trained dogs sleep in my bedroom in their own beds if provided by owner, or in our super comfy bagel beds • If necessary, dog crates are available for shy dogs for quiet time • Feeding as per owner’s instructions, including meds and supplements Dogs • Must be potty trained • No barkers (occasional yelps are part of play of course) • No drooling dogs, please! After all, they are guests in my home, not a dog park or doggie daycare facility • No puppies! As much as I love puppies, all dogs must be past the age of chewing at the furniture • Must be friendly and get along with other dogs • All breeds up to around 40 pounds are welcome, except for drooling dogs • All ages except as noted above; no senior dogs that cannot be trusted with their potty habits Other • Please come for a meet-and-greet before bringing your dog the first time • Flexible drop off/pickup hours for daycare and boarding; no need to worry if you are working overtime I'm retired and the lovable furry creatures enrich my life. Keeping a routine schedule is easy to provide structure in their lives while they are on vacation with me. I care for my guest dogs the same way as I care for Raven. I love them, feed them, play with them, take them to the vet if necessary, keep them occupied with toys and play and make sure that they feel loved and safe in my home.

This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than a family member or friend. I knew after meeting Andrea and getting a tour of her home (which is completely decked out to take care of dogs) that Casper would be safe and well taken care of. Andrea was great at communicating and was flexible when our travel plans got messed up (thanks Southwest). I’m happy to have found someone I feel comfortable with leaving Casper with and look forward to using her again in the future!

Andrea was wonderful with caring for our young very energetic dog. She sent much appreciated updates which included pictures and gave us peace of mind. We will definitively use her again. Thanks Andrea!!

Andrea is just the best! My little dachshund stayed with her for almost 20 days and I couldn’t trust her more to take care of him over this long period of time. Her house is all prepared to have dogs over and she is so dedicated, so thoughtful and so competent that I feel totally safe leaving my dog under her care.
