Highlights
Pet care experience
Only the BEST for our FURRY FRIENDS
My passion for animals runs deep. I have been taking care of dogs since childhood (35+ years). Professionally, I have experience working at a doggie daycare and for a self-service dog wash. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent, healthy diet and administering medication properly. As a doggie daycare attendant, sometimes managing 60 dogs at once, I understand the importance of reading dog behavior and redirecting to diffuse situations. This skill translates to dog walking when there are many different stimuli - other dogs, people, squirrels, traffic, something on the ground they should not eat, etc. I understand the importance of being consistent with dog training and using the same commands as the owners is key. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes but it is important to be intentional with each dog's particular needs and understand their unique personality. There is a special place in my heart for senior dogs. I have been running a small hobby farm since 2016 and have experience with chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, cats, peacocks, pigs, and goats. Feel free to reach out for any unique pet care needs. I view all animals as God's creatures.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Angela! She did an absolutely incredible job house sitting and looking after our puppy, who is normally terrified of everything and very slow to trust strangers. Angela was so incredibly patient with him—in fact, our pup actually warmed up to her faster than she did to us! We received daily updates and wonderful pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of being a total natural with anxious dogs, she was highly professional, deeply respected our home, and left everything perfectly clean. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking her again! 😊
This is was second time to have Angela stay with my dogs. We love her! I know they were well taken care of and safe with her.
Angela went above and beyond during her stay with my girls. Communicated, sent photos/ updates, showed concern about my nervous old dog. I would absolutely have Angela again!!
Angela was amazing and cared for our dogs greatly. She was always in communication with us, asked many questions about their habits/preferences/routine to understand how to best care for them, sent constant photos—we could tell they were well cared for :)
Angela is amazing!!! Lottie was so well cared for and I will be booking Angela the next time I need Lottie watched for me!!!!
Angela took great care of our pups during drop in visits while we were away!

Schedule
My schedule is often flexible. I work part-time in Beaverton Wednesday-Saturday. Much of my work can be done online so if you need me to watch your pet in your house for an extended amount of time, a requirement would be reliable internet or the ability to come and go as needed. I have pets of my own so I would need the flexibility to check on my pets from time to time. Working in pet drop-ins and dog walks around my work schedule is easy. I can board your pet at my house most Sundays-Tuesdays.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to care for your pet(s) in the specific ways that you need. I will not create or enforce bad habits. I have no problem crating your pet, keeping them off the furniture, following a strict diet, or administering medication. I live out in the country on 15 acres and have many animals. Inside the house lives a 4-year-old sweet German Short-hair pointer and 50% of the time I am watching a friend's cat. If your dog loves to run, my place would be heaven. This would only be ideal for dogs that come when they are called as there is no fencing. The other option would be that your pet stays inside and only ventures out with a leash. I have 12 acres of timber so walks in the woods are super fun!
Pets
A typical day
Fun activities with your pets can include a trip to the dog park, long walks, or playing fetch with the ball and Chuckit ball launcher. If your pet stays at my country home, running through the woods and playing hide-and-seek seems to be the game of choice. I live close to Vernonia.
