Ande (Kearns) Billaci (Dog Walker)

 
 

 

Aundrea BillaciAundrea (Kearns) Billaci

Territory:  
  66046, Prairie Park Neighborhood

Dogs:   
  Ande has experience with all kinds of dogs, including large, strong breeds like pitbulls, German Shepherds, and her own, huge, Cane Corso.

 

Services:  
  Exercise, exploration, correct use of prong collars, heel, semi-heel, long-line recall (prep for off leash).

What she likes about dog walking:  
  "I love how excited dogs get to go on walks! A normal walk to us is a new adventure to a dog."

Pet World Experience  
  Ande is a well know employee, having worked at PW since 2009. She's currently the Educational and Outreach Programs Director, and she manages our Small Mammals and Bird Department. Pet World is her home away from home.

"I love everything about our business, our mission statement, our customers (humans and animals), and our staff. I couldn't ask for better people to surround myself with daily."

Future Plans
Rumor has it that the Lawrence community is reeeeeeally hoping Ande will take over Pet World when Tim and Sherry retire.

 

 

Rhiannon Emerson (Dog Walker)

Rhiannon DogWalk4Rhiannon Emerson

Territory: Greater Lawrence 
Rhiannon is currently going to school in Tampa, Florida but, when she's in Kansas, she lives in south-central Lawrence and walks dogs anywhere in town. She was one of our first dog walkers and helped create the service, but, unfortunately, she's in Lawrence less and less these days so not very active anymore.

Dogs: Small to Medium, HIgh Energy Dogs  
Rhiannon works with most dogs up to about 50 pounds but specializes in small to medium dogs with lots of energy. She has the most experience with poodles and terriers and enjoyes their sassy attitudes. Rhi will customize your dog's walk however you like but long walks filled with exercise and exploring are her favorite.

Services:  
Exercise, exploration, heel, and semi-heel instruction.

Before she moved in August to continue her education in Florida, Rhiannon spent her last summer at PW helping us set up our new Dog Walking Service. She was seen out and about walking dogs and training new staff all over town! Currently she will only be walking a few dogs when she is back in Kansas during breaks.
