Services
Angela can watch in your home
Availability
I typically work M-F during daytime hours, except on holidays. I offer dog walking and drop-in services in the early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. If I am house sitting, I may be able to offer a quick mid-day potty break, depending on the location of your home. 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. I am not able to offer 24/7 supervised care.

About Angela M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I only provide services in the homes of my clients. I am an extremely tidy house guest. I bring my own food, pillows, blankets, etc. You can feel comfortable that your house will be in the same condition that you left it. 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. Due to liability concerns, I do not job share with other individuals, meaning I have to be the only person performing pet care while you are away.
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 know of all the fun pet friendly locations in town, but for your pet’s safety, we will stay at home/in the neighborhood. While out walking your pet, all measures will be done to avoid other pets and humans to protect your pet as well. I do love to see pets do tricks that they may know.

Pet care experience
Cats and dogs have always been a huge aspect of my life; so when I came across Rover, I knew it was a perfect way to supplement my income. With that being said, I do work a full-time job and work as a pet sitter part-time around that schedule (more information below). Rest assured, I am still a professional pet sitter. I have my own insurance through Pet Care Insurance. I have an extensive background in pet care to include experience working at a vet clinic, volunteering in the rescue/shelter community including fostering, caring and handling show dogs, and working with trainers. I am also a certified pharmacy technician with continuing education done in animal med, including administration. Due to my experience working at a vet clinic, I am knowledgable about many medical conditions, including warning signs.

Angela also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Couldn’t be happier with how our kitties were taken care of. We were worried one out our less social cats would be to skittish the whole time, but Angela got him out and playing right away :)
Thank you as always!
Great care as usual!
As always, we love working with Angela! This past booking, we had a severely delayed flight back home and Angela made it work to stay with our two dogs at our house much later than expected. We so appreciate Angela’s flexibility and care of our pups!
