Hello! I’m Angela! Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine, and I've dedicated my life to their care and well-being. I’ll also be accompanied on my animal care visits by my significant other, Adam, who shares this same passion for animals—we met while volunteering at an animal shelter and have been working with animals together ever since! We are very much looking forward to taking care of your pets and we have taken extra precautions to keep them as safe as possible, so, in addition to Rover’s Guarantee, we are also insured! We have both been shift volunteer leaders at our local animal shelter for 3 years, where we work closely with dogs and cats in need. We are also currently full-time dog walkers and pet sitters! We find it better to work together, and there are many situations where having two of us there to care for your pet(s) together has been a benefit to our clients! As full-time dog walkers and pet sitters, we have many repeat clients, but are also still accepting new ones! We currently care for a variety of different sized dogs and cats. Each and every pet has different routines and needs, and we take great care in making sure those needs are met. We are well versed in many different types of harnesses and dog collars needed for our walks, and we are both experienced in any sized dog who may pull or react on walks. At the shelter, we care for medium and large sized dogs. We walk them, handle them, administer medications, feed them, provide fresh water, lots of cleaning (including pee and poop), and let dogs into our play yard on a rotating schedule during our shifts. We also do special projects for the shelter like painting, carpentry, landscaping, transports, and more. I also write each bio and take pictures for the dogs on our shelter’s website and social media pages. Professionally, I’ve been working in animal rescue and care since 2010. I spent three years as a full-time caregiver at Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY, where I cared for a variety of animals, including cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese. My responsibilities included feeding, general wellness checks, administering medications (including injections), assisting veterinarians, and providing individualized care. Since then, I’ve continued my work through pet sitting, dog walking, and even a stint as a dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve developed extensive experience maintaining feeding and bathroom schedules, administering medications, and adapting to each animal’s unique needs. I am highly experienced in senior, puppy, and a variety of special needs for many species of animals including dog and cat. I have provided round-the-clock care as needed to animals. I am experienced in a variety of rescue, neglect, and intensive care. Nothing is too much for me to handle. I can spoon feed your pet every 30 minutes if needed, express their bladder, change their diaper, change their prosthetic, take them for a walk around the park in a stroller, and administer sub-q fluids if needed! Just sayin’! Or, if all they need is a walk, some play time, cuddles, pets, attention, and a water and food bowl refill, I’m your gal for that, too! Caring for animals has always been part of my life. Growing up, my parents and I fostered and rescued birds and cats, and I had my own pets, including dogs, cats, and even rats. This lifelong connection to animals drives my commitment to providing compassionate, attentive care to every pet I meet. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, companionship, or extra TLC, I’m here to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for while you’re away!
