Pet care experience

Cats and dogs have always been a huge aspect of my life. I have rescued a litter of 5 week old kittens and their mother up to their adoption at 9+ weeks. I have walked a herd of dogs with a rescue many times. Also, I have experience caring for Chinese Shar Pei show dogs. If you are not familiar, show dogs tend to have quite a few special needs, such as diet and grooming. I have volunteered to help the family at a local dog show, where they educated me about junior show dog handling. My business practices: I do not communicate through phone calls. I use phone calls in emergency situations only. I prefer communication to be written and through the Rover app. I do not give out my personal number. I am willing to meet in public places or in homes. I ask all clients to leave a written note or have clear expectations/instructions communicated through the app. Meet and greets are not always required for me and in some situations, I leave it up to the owners. Every pet in the house must have their own profile under the account owner. This is required under Rover’s guidelines.

Angela is fantastic and handles difficulties and hiccups with grace. I have an anxious dog and she handled her well.

Thank you for putting up with our grumpy garden panther! We know it’s a lot of energy to show up twice a day for a cat!

Angela took great care of our kitty during Christmas vacation and was very accommodating. This is the first time that we’ve hired someone instead of just relying on a friend and I have no regrets! Izzy was very relaxed and happy when we came home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a full-time job Monday through Friday from 8a-5p with a hour long break that can be flexible. My job is in NW Rochester. For house sitting clients, I can let pets out/do quick visits on my break. I do need prior notice more than a week in advance to do so though as I’m limited on availability during lunches and have to confirm with my work that it does not interfere with meetings or other work schedules. I would prefer to do drop ins or dog walks early morning or evening time outside of my work schedule. While house sitting, I continue to check and feed my own cats twice a day. Also while I house sit, I do continue to accept drop-ins. Due to both of the previous statements, I can only accept clients that are okay with me coming and going for those times.

Information Angela M. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but I will admit that I have a special place in my heart for big dogs as well as dogs that have a "bully breed" stigma such as Pit Bull Terriers, Boxers, Dobermans, and Rottweilers, etc. I have found some breeds may not be a good fit for me. I am aware of those breeds and am up-front with clients at the time of messaging. Before I meet a dog, I would like to know the expectations the owner has as well as the dog's daily schedule. If the dog has any health concerns, I would like to know that prior to the care I give. The owner's preference for vet service if anything were to ever happen is important as well. I do ask that all owners please have an established vet clinic in the area and that rabies for all pets (dogs and cats, even indoor) be up to date. This is for the safety of your pets but it is also a federal and state requirement. If you do not have an established clinic in the area, please have a vaccination chart and contact information for previous vet accessible for me in case an emergency would arise.

A typical day

I love letting dogs go to dog parks or to Petsmart and pick out a new treat. There are many places in Rochester area where dogs can be walked such as Quarry Hill, Silver Lake, and Douglas Trail. I primarily like to stay in the neighborhood of the home though. Dogs that I have a high experience with are the only ones I allow in my car.

I am a certified pharmacy technician with continuing education done in animal administration and dosing so I know how to prepare and store medications. I also worked at a vet clinic for a little over a year and a half. In that timeframe, I have learned quite a lot about illnesses pets could have. I have administered all types and forms of medications to dogs and cats including eye, ear, oral, and SQ. I have trained puppies and dogs and I will always treat your animals as if they were my own.
