Hard working animal lover

Pet care experience

I have over 20 years of caring for, training and taking care of health problems in dogs and cats. I am a Veterinary Technician by trade and have spent the last 22 years working for a service dog organization caring for, selecting, training and placing dogs in homes all over the US. I am knowledgable in dog behavior, training, group play, health and welfare. Looking to expand my knowledge through continuing education and classes to become better at what I do and who I am as a person. The thing I love about what I do now is that I am able to give people peace of mind with the knowledge I have as well as my ability to understand what a person really needs for the care of their animals. I have 4 dogs of my own and I know that I would only want the best for them too. I also love cats and all other animals as well.

Andy was such a savior for a short notice business trip! My dog is diabetic and requires very intensive care. Andy put my worries to rest after the first day. Nadia (my dog) was so happy to spend time with her and loved all the exercise.

I have worked with Andrea several years in training and caring for dogs and cats. She is very caring and dedicated her whole life to animals and helping people. She is a vet tech and is very experienced in the health and care of dogs. She has cared for 20-30 dogs at a time in a kennel setting and each dog is like her own. She is very observant and understands the needs of dogs and cats. I HIGHLY recommend her for walking and caring for your animals. She will love them like her own. She is also great in helping with any behavior or training issue you might have.

Andrea is the only person who watches my dogs. In 2012 we met and I found out she was not only training service dogs but had been working with dogs for about 13 years at that point. I mean full time employed dog handler and trainer for a living training and placing service dogs with recipients. That was 8 years ago. Andy helped me select a dog to train for my PTSD. And WOW! My life changed having my special girl. I have since taken in another dog and Andy helped with his integration into my little family. Both my babies have special needs. They have to be handled in a very specific manner to keep them trained to work for me. Special dietary needs as well. I have left my dogs for 10 days. I couldn't have gone if I didn't have Andy to watch my dogs. I just don't trust. They are far to important for me to risk it. If it wasn't for the fact that I know Andy will follow my instructions for my babies and is truly qualified to handle situations that might arise I would not have gone. I'd just not go. I don't know anyone who has been of service that has had their hands on over 500+ dogs and touched so many lives in this capacity. I'm forever grateful and I can tell you from experience you will be too. You won't have to worry. You can count on what you want getting done the way you want it done.

Andrea is family so of course we are partial to her and her actions. Having said that, I do admit she has devoted her life and career to the care and compassion of animals. As a vet-tech, a trainer, and owner of pets, I have never experienced a time when her animals did not come first. As a person she is responsible, dependable and faithful to what she commits to. I believe you too will find her to be true to her word and that your loved ones will be in good hands.
