Senior & reactive/fearful dog lover

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with reactive/fearful dogs. And believe that with the right amount of attention these dogs can enjoy all experiences. I also have a soft spot for caring for senior dogs.

Another wonderful doggy sitting adventure for our pup Leia! Thank you so much Andrea for watching Leia and helping us when we suddenly needed someone to care for her ❤️

Another wonderful stay for our pup Leia! Andrea came to the rescue when we needed someone to watch Leia when our plans suddenly changed. Andrea is the best, most reliable dog sitter we’ve ever had and I absolutely appreciate her ☺️

Andrea helped us watch Leia again, and Leia is getting braver and braver! Andrea is so sweet and kind with Leia and helps her come out of her shell! Thank you so much! Leia says she can’t wait to see Andrea again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard with two friendly small dogs. I make sure to properly introduce my dogs to dogs I board at home. I also have measures to keep dogs separate if they're not comfortable being around other dogs. FYI I require a meet and greet for new clients of any service. This helps me establish a good relationship with your dog and ensures that I can successfully complete the booking. A few more notes about boarding - Please be aware my dogs eat on a schedule. So to avoid them eating any of our new friends' food I feed guests on a schedule as well. Pease let me know if your dog tends to be a free feeder so we can work together to make alternate arrangements. - I require guests to be crate trained or be comfortable being baby gated or I will have to respectfully decline your boarding request.

Information Andrea R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any behavioral or special needs. The most important thing to me is that the dog is comfortable in my care. And knowing any needs ahead of time helps me accommodate your dog.

A typical day

I love taking dog I board over to explore the walking trail behind the government center. Being outside is my favorite way to bond with dogs.

I am a hybrid worker who owns two small senior dogs. So caring for animals fit nicely in my established routine. I have a flexible work schedule so I can adjust easily.
