Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Angela, and I'm pet care provider and scientist with a dog-shaped hole in my life. I was on a break from pet care for a couple of years (I tried out having just one job, haha) but I'm back! I've been pet sitting for private clients for 10+ years, walking dogs for 5+ years, and ran my own pet care business full-time for 4 years! I’m pet CPR and first aid certified and I carry private insurance for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm always on the lookout for the chance to make some canine and feline friends! I have extensive experience with larger breeds (here's lookin' at you, my many Great Dane and Malamute buddies) -- but I've also cared for plenty of smaller friends and I'm comfortable with dogs (and other animals) of all shapes, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have my own (large, dog-friendly) vehicle and I can't wait to meet your pet! You can view pictures of my furry friends on my instagram at @angelawalksdogs My current service area is limited to a radius of approximately 3 miles of zip code 55408 for walks and drop-in visits, and approximately 5 miles of zip code 55408 for in-home sitting.
Reviews
Angela is attentive, positive and great with my dogs.
Angela is easy to work with, responsive, and has great communication. Thank you!
Thank you Angela for taking Cassie on some frigid and some warm walks this week, and for letting her enjoy the scents of bunnies and squirrels.
Angela and Keke love each other. She's always so prompt and sends me pictures of my baby! Book Angela!!

Prior to the meet and greet, I'll ask you to fill out a detailed new client intake form in Google Forms. I designed this form to ask about things like your pet's age and breed, their typical schedule, whether she/he has any triggers or anxieties, and whether it's okay to give your pet (small, grain-free) treats. Please let me know if you have any special requests, tips, or tricks!
Information Angela F. would like to know about your pet
Before my first visit, I like to get a feel for your pet's individual needs -- does your pup need a slower-paced walk, or a brisk loop around the neighborhood followed by some playtime in the yard? Is your dog still working on socialization, and not quite ready for encounters with other animals? Does your cat eschew all the toys you've bought, but love to chase wads of paper? I aim to tailor my services to every client, and there's no such thing as giving me too much information about your pet.
A typical day
For walks and drop-ins, I always come equipped with toys, treats, and care supplies (extra leashes, harnesses, etc.). I send photos and a detailed summary after every visit. When I petsit I offer all-around care, including providing fresh water and food, administering medication if needed, lots of TLC and playtime, and daily updates with photos. My pet sitting rates include overnights as well as morning and evening care and I'm happy to talk to you about adding more visits or walks throughout the day, as needed. I have a large, pet-friendly vehicle if any transportation is required. I'm happy to keep an eye on your home, including bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, and rotating lights/blinds for a lived-in look. I also offer packages of multiple daily drop-ins if you'd rather that I not stay in your home or if I'm already booked for another sitting, so feel free to reach out!

My schedule is very flexible! I occasionally travel but most of the time I'm right here in the Twin Cities and happy to come see your buddy.
