“Omgosh...I haven't seen my pups happier with any one other than my husband & I; until Angelina came along. VERY conscientious, caring, neat, & clean.

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.
About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.
“Yuliia and Marcine stayed with Petey two nights; fed, walked, gave her pills and kept me informed of all her activities—even when she got hold of a packaged bread and tore into it. Petey is very food-motivated!”
“Jessica was fantastic! She watched my older pup at my house for two nights. She took great care of my dog and house while I was gone! She’s very trustworthy, a great communicator and absolutely wonderful with furry friends!”
“Holly was easy to work with; she was communicative and prompt and got along really well with our pets. We have both dogs and cats, and Holly took care of all of them at our house. We felt very comfortable leaving them in Holly's care, and we hope to be able to hire her again in the future.”
