Information Andrea V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors I should know to receive the same care they are accustomed to. My policy is safety: all dogs must be up to date on all vaccinations, rabies shots, and current flea and heartworm medications. Please provide documentation (photo) when booking.

A typical day

We are a happy, fun-loving couple living in a dog-friendly home with a large, shaded backyard. You can rest assured that your dog will receive plenty of love, exercise, and interactive treats, and treated like one of my own—experiences they won't find at standard doggy daycare or boarding facilities. I am willing to follow your dog's routine so they can feel comfortable. I have extra crates, blankets, beds and bowls, but you can provide any of your dog's personal items for familiarity. Happy pups = Heart filled ❤ keeping pets happy and engaged.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I provide safe, loving care for dogs of all ages — from bouncy puppies learning their manners to sweet senior companions who want extra snuggles. 🏡 Home & Location I live in a dog-friendly home with a large fenced yard, located just minutes from the San Antonio Airport and right next to Phil Hardberger Park. This means your pup gets the best of both worlds — a secure home environment plus easy access to nature trails and dog park fun. 🎓 Experience & Training I have training in Basic Puppy Behavior, which allows me to offer Puppy Coaching 🎓. In this supportive program, I help young dogs learn house manners, build confidence, and get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I am currently completing the GoodPup Certification through Rover, which will enhance my skills and enable me to provide a professional, science-based, positive-reinforcement approach to Adult Dog training. Ask about my Dog Coaching services! 🐶 My Care Philosophy Every dog I care for is treated like part of my family. I tailor each visit or boarding stay to your dog’s needs — whether that’s playful walks, games of fetch or simply cozy cuddle time. I also love sharing photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. 💜 A Personal Note This journey with Rover has been deeply meaningful. My husband and I are raising funds for our IVF procedure to expand our family, and every booking helps us move closer to that dream.

Our dogs LOVE Andrea! They get so excited when she comes over to check on them or walk them. Our family highly recommends Andrea to any other pet owners.

Andrea is the BEST. We had a lot of schedule changes over the weekend when we needed drop-in assistance with our pup. Andrew was INSANELY flexible and wonderful at communicating and overall making us feel at ease. She sent us many photos of our pup when she was with her and just overall made me feel really confident leaving our girl in her hands. She asks amazing questions to get to know your dog and does everything she can to cater to them. I cannot recommend her enough! She is AMAZING! Thank you Andrea🩷

*As a repeat client, we couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs receive from Andrea! She walks our 1-year-old high-energy black lab and our 8-year-old pitbull mix, and she handles both of their very different needs so well. She’s amazing with them; patient, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. After their walk, she goes the extra mile by making sure our older dog gets some extra cuddles and attention, while our puppy gets the rest of her energy out with a fun tug-of-war or fetch session. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we can always count on her to not only care for our dogs, but truly spoil them. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats them like her own. Highly recommend! Lucky to have found Andrea; she is a gem of a human.

I've had Andrea come by weekly to work 1-on-1 with my 1-year-old rat terrier, Zia, and the experience has been incredible. For the past 6 months, she’s been helping Zia learn basic commands, improve her house manners, and build great habits—and I’ve seen noticeable progress every single week! Andrea is wonderful with Zia. It’s clear she truly enjoys working with dogs, but even more than that, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Zia looks forward to their sessions, and it’s been so rewarding to see her confidence and behavior improve over time. What really sets Andrea apart is the value she provides beyond the sessions. She sends detailed videos after each visit so I can learn exactly how to train and communicate with Zia myself, which has made such a huge difference. She’s also always available to answer any questions I have, which makes me feel fully supported throughout the process. We’re so grateful for the care, patience, and dedication Andrea brings each visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own while delivering real results!
