Hello! My name is Andrea, and I absolutely love dogs (and, not to brag, but the feeling is usually mutual!). I’m currently home full-time after pivoting from a 24-year career in drinking water safety following my second cancer diagnosis. I’m thrilled to say I’ve been cancer-free for almost three years—and working with dogs has brought me more joy and fulfillment than I could have imagined. Our household includes me, my husband, and two young adult children—one away at college in Texas. We share our home with two lovable pups: Lua, a 10-year-old Boxer/Plott Hound mix, and Nacho, a 9-year-old Basset Hound. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard, and when the weather is nice, we often keep the sliding door open so the dogs can come and go as they please. We love those days when the yard is full of happy pups running and playing—it feels just like our own private dog park! Dogs who stay with us have full run of the house, and they’re welcome to get cozy on couches and beds. If you prefer certain rules for your dog (no furniture, staying off certain floors, etc.), I’m happy to follow your guidelines so their routine stays consistent. In addition to hosting dogs in our home, I also enjoy cat sitting, dog walking, and providing doggy day care when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands at “camp.” I’ll send daily photo updates so you can see how they’re doing, and I guarantee they’ll head home happy, well cared for, and ready for a good nap! As a policy, we request that all new dog clients who plan to stay overnight have a meet-and-greet at our home first. It’s a great way for both humans and dogs to get to know each other and for us to discuss your pet’s needs so we can make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. If you want, I can also make you a shorter, eye-catching version for your Rover “About” preview so it hooks people before they click to read the full profile. That way you get both a great first impression and the full detail for those who want to know more.
