About Me

Hello! My name is Andrea Pilavis, and I’m an avid animal lover with a true passion for dogs. I grew up with a Mastiff, then three French Bulldogs, one of whom was my heart dog, and I now share my life with two Beaucerons who have my whole heart.

For over a decade, I’ve been caring for dogs in their own homes, and I’m thrilled to be turning this lifelong passion into my full-time career and business.

Growing up with dogs who couldn’t be boarded for various reasons, I understand how important it is for some pets to stay in their familiar environment and routine. Whether due to your dog’s personality, age, health, or simply your own preference, I know how valuable it is to have someone you trust, someone who listens to your dog’s unique needs and keeps you updated every step of the way.

I take great pride in the services I provide. With years of experience in both pet care and customer service, I understand how essential trust and communication are. I keep owners fully informed during every stay, from the times I arrive and leave, to potty breaks, meals, and any other tasks you’ve requested. My goal is always to make you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
