Aside from my parents and dog trainer, Andre is the only person I trust with my dog. Period. I first met Andre when I began a job as a personal assistant to an actor with a very rigorous schedule. Andre had been caring for his dogs for 7 years before I showed up, and every day around 5pm, I noticed they would wait for her at the gait, even if their owner and/or I were home (and I am a HUGE dog person, so they were getting a lot of love from me.) I thought, huh, there must be something to this woman with the Australian accent =)
When one of the dogs developed an aggressive type of cancer, I learned that Andre had worked as a vet tech and run a veterinary clinic for years before opening her own business. I watched and learned from her as she cared for my boss's declining dog with a care and professionalism I'd only seen from top-notch veterinarians.
I may have moved on from working as a personal assistant, but Andre will remain in my/my dog's life forever. When I leave my dog with her, she sends pictures of him playing with the other dogs and snuggling with her. Even at my parents' house, where he has lived for months at a time when I've been traveling, it takes him days to acclimate. Not so at Andre's! Her house is dog heaven, and he's happy to be there!! Both as a pet care professional and human being, Andre truly is second to none. read more
