Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
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!
Angela was great! Took good care of both our cats, doing all that was asked of her and more! She also had quick responses over text which was nice to get updates or ask things efficiently
Angela has cared for my cat numerous times over the last 4 years. She has always been flexible in making arrangements and provides superior care (sometimes spoiling) the cat. She obviously loves animals and has a passion to make their lives happy.

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, or following a strict diet. 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!

Information Angela A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet(s) have any specific needs ahead of time and I will let you know if I can accommodate. I have four dogs so I have been through the wringer of "specific needs" from administering shots to helping a partially paralyzed dog get around. If your pet is staying at my home, a meet a greet ahead of time would be preferred to make sure our furry friends get along.
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.
