Availability

I’m currently a stay at home mom, we start our days early at 6 am so early morning potty breaks or walks are no problem. I have four children who are all in school full-time except for my youngest who is in Preschool part-time, other than running kids to school I’m home all day so your pets will hardly be on their own and when everybody is home there will be plenty of love, cuddles and attention for your pet. I can easily cater to your pets activity level with multiple walks around the neighborhood, trips to the dog park for socialization or just running out some energy in our large fenced in back yard. Our house has plenty of space if your pet prefers alone time with less stimulation, hardwood floors for elderly pets who have a hard time making it to the bathroom outside or puppies who are still potty training.

Information Angela P. would like to know about your pet

We take great care to keep up with any rules or training that your dog is currently getting at home. We can easily help work on puppy potty training, clicker or bell training, walking on leashes, or help deter unwanted behaviors like jumping up or nipping. I feel it’s very important to keep our daily schedule as close to what they receive at home to help with any separation anxiety. Any health concerns, dietary restrictions or mannerisms that would help me better care for your dog are a must for me to provide the best level of care possible. We honestly just want your pup to feel just as loved and at home with us as they do with you- and want to make sure you are as comfortable as you can be when leaving your pet with someone new! I know it can be nerve wracking!

A typical day

We have a very open and flexible schedule, we make sure to do multiple daily walks (weather permitting) and spend as much time as they want running around with my kiddos and me in the backyard. We have tons of toys and enrichment activities to keep them entertained. Then plenty of beds, room on the couch, blankets or kennels to nap after they run out all their energy. We enjoy baking healthy dog friendly treats that we love to share with our doggy guests if it’s within their dietary restrictions, we have a nice quiet neighborhood with lots of fun smells or things to explore. We also love to plan hiking day trips or afternoons to the dog park. We love incorporating our doggy guests with our family activities! We’ve had dogs along to help pick our Christmas trees, or come along with us to the cherry blossom festival in DC, even to my sons soccer games. We really want them to be able to be apart of our family while they are here.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Angela! It's good to meet you. : ) I've been a lover of animals since I was a child, and have always loved having a house full of furry friends. I own my own home in Ames near downtown, with a big yard, hardwood floors and tons of time for walks, playing, cuddles and attention. Our family loves to be outdoors hiking, exploring creeks, going to farmers markets and festivals and just being in nature and love bringing the pups with us. My own little Chihuahuas prefer short jaunts through the town, so I can easily accommodate any level of activity your pet would require! I have 4 school aged children from 4-17 who love to play and cuddle so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while you are away. : )

Angela was fun to deal with and our cat loved her visits. I'd book her again in a heartbeat.
