Andrea had us meet and bring Sadie to make sure she got along with her dog. She took the time to get to know Sadie’s normal routine. She sent pictures to let us know things were going well.

Andrea took great care of Doug while we took a short vacation. She was responsible, reliable, and caring. I had been concerned about finding the right place to board Doug because he’s a senior dog (14 years old) with hind-end mobility issues. Andrea asked all the right questions to understand how to care for him. Doug seemed to get along with Andrea’s two dogs, and through the photos and messages that Andrea sent, it was clear that Doug had settled in and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely use Andrea’s services again when we need them, and I highly recommend her.

We booked Andrea for a drop-in with a walk for our Sadie when we were at a wedding in July. It was apparent from the first meeting that she loves dogs...and she will love *your* dog! Sadie was very happy and calm when we arrived home. Andrea is gentle, calm, caring and professional. We highly recommend her services.
