Pet care experience
I have cats and dogs of my own with their own distinct and, at times, quirky personalities. Two are seniors, so I'm familiar with administering medication, and one pet is an anti-social chihuahua I rescued off the street that makes me more aware and attentive to different play styles and the need for personal space. I'm also familiar with feeding multiple pets at a time. One of my favorite things to do is to take my dogs to different parks and trails, including the Riverwalk, and watch their faces light up as they run through the grass or along the water. With my cats, I love to watch them play or show interest in new toys and treats.
Reviews
Andrea is a great person with a big heart and a huge soft spot for animals. She goes out of her way for animals in need and loves every one she meets as if they're her own. Her quality of care is excellent and her quality of character is unmatched.
There's no one I'd trust with my pets more than Andrea. She has the biggest heart and will always go out of her way to make sure every little creature is happy and safe. And I believe they sense it back, because I've never seen a pet not instantly befriend her. Her own animals have blossomed since she rescued them. She's very responsible and I'm confident in saying any animal in her care is being treated like royalty.
Andrea has shown her patience and gentle parenting skills for her 6 pets and myself. She has shown me her ability to problem solve when it comes to managing pet behavior and disagreements between her pets and mine. She is a compassionate pet owner with a big heart and strives to seek care for all animals as seen with her involvement with animal shelters. I believe it would be an honor for Andrea to pursue a life dedicated to attending animals.
I would absolutely trust Andrea with my pets, she's amazing with them and they love spending time with her. She takes such great care of them and makes sure they have all the care they need when I have to be away.
About Andrea S.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
With your permission, I can take the dogs to nearby parks or trails by foot or by car. I have a 30" crate for small to medium dogs, a seatbelt clip for the bigger dogs, and a slip-cover for backseat protection against nails and shedding. I can also keep them close to home, if that's preferred, by staying within the boundaries of an apartment complex or a single street, block, or neighborhood.
Information Andrea S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know anything specific about your dog(s) like "they need a thunder-shirt or calming chew for stormy days." If there's anything you think is important for me to know, do, or use to make your dog(s) experience the best it can be then I'll gladly include it as part of our hang out. I prefer anything that is needed, like the chews or shirt I gave as an example, to be provided for the walks and/or drop-ins.
A typical day
I'm best at letting your dog(s) getting their energy out in nature. I can take them around the neighborhood or a nearby park, find a dog park for them to romp and potentially make new friends, but I can also play a good game of fetch or tug-o-war with them as well. Tell me your dog's preferences and I can exercise and/or distract them for some time.
