Graduate + Dog Lover = Hire Me!

Pet care experience

Hello There! I'm sure you're asking yourself: with so many people to choose from, why this person? What separates them from every other wanna-be dog walker in the city? WELL, then let me tell you a little about myself: I grew up with a house full of dogs and puppies; my mother bred Yorkshire Terriers (some teacup breeds) for 8+ years. I would come home from school and be expected to feed sometimes 6 puppies and 3 doggos at a time. I have taken care of two dogs of my own (a yorkshire breed and a Jack Russell), as well as experience with poodle and golden retriever-sized breeds. I have broken up doggie fights, lived with (and can easily manage) the most shy, passive, and territorial of breeds (you know, the little guys that don't like their food touched). Unfortunately, do to city living, I had to let my little guys live with my sister, and simply miss the companionship + cuddles + play that dogs offer. I would love the opportunity to care for your little one while you're away.

Angela is a wonderful and warm caregiver and dog-lover. She is great with people and animals, kind, responsible, and reliable. Your pets would enjoy her calm and friendly presence!

Angela always takes great care of my two dogs. They are always happy to see her--We've very lucky to have her as our dog sitter!

My Yorkie Aioki needs a lot of care and attention and I have been suspicious of dog walkers all her life. A friend recommended Angela and she is the best thing that has happened to me and Aioki. Angela is capable and sensitive to Aioki's needs and I totally trust her. I would highly recommend her, she is the right friend for your family.

Angela has been dogsitting and dog walking for me over the last two years. I’m starting to suspect that my two pups like her more than me! She’s a delight to work with: prompt, caring, and responsible. She’s helped me with numerous last-minute jobs (working late, going out of town unexpectedly). I highly recommend Angela ( as do my dogs).

About Angela A.

Skills

17 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Information Angela A. would like to know about your pet

I am most familiar with toy breads, terriers of all sizes and shapes, and medium sizes doggies -- though have experience with larger breeds as well. ____________________________________________________ What I would like to know about a doggie beforehand: Breed Size Temperament Personality (shy or outgoing?) Human Preferences and Experience (Do they prefer women to men?) Other Dog Preference and Experience (Do they get along well with other dogs/breeds?) Allergies? Doggie History (How long have you had them?) Favorite Activities you both do together Anything else you think I should know or expect?

A typical day

Your doggie will enjoy long walks around the neighborhood on your leash of preference, playful banter that may or may not involve: balls, squeak toys, tug-of-war ropes, chase in a backyard, their favorite doggie-food + snacks (I bake my own organic whole wheat peanut butter dog biscuits -- humans can snack too!), and endless pets/cuddles.
