Pet care experience
I've had Italian Greyhounds for 15 years, and am an Italian Greyhound Foster mom working with rescue groups. I'm a former 5 star Wag! Walker with reference s, too.... Although I love Greyhounds, I have experience with many other breeds and am familiar with training (potty, basic commands, and, especially separation anxiety). .. I now have a 4-year-old Chinese Crested. He's awesome, just looks a little different! ( my 14 yr old IG passed away in my arms, with his three legs, no teeth, he was a trooper! He died from from cancer & natural causes in Feb 2020)... I welcome and encourage special requests and arrangements particular to YOUR baby, each dog is different. (So are humans, but I'm partial to my canine population.) Hiking, running, walking, cuddling- I welcome it all, and, am well prepared (with water and experienced with all leash types). I have experience with many different training styles,too, and am aware of certain limitations and expectations within certain breeds and ages. I'd love to spend my free time exploring and getting to know your unique pup. I live in foster city. Message me about more flexible rates. (Amounts listed are highest estimate, depending on needs and compatibility). PLEASE NOTE:I TALK A LOT AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I love dogs and kids, I'm a single mother of 8 yr old twins, but, by trade, I'm an environmental scientist thus appreciate all animals ( but it's humans that scare me sometimes!)... ****Beware! We allow dogs in our bed and on our furniture. If you have a special request, or training need, you'd have to let us know. Myself and my children will cuddle with your dog non-stop if you let us around! (Just let me know ahead of time please if that's not okay!)*****

Syd had a great time with Angela! She clearly loves dogs and kept me up to date on Syd's fun-filled stay.
Angela is so loving and wonderful and her dog Mwhylo was welcoming and treated my dog like they were bffs. My dog was clearly happy and wanted to back inside with Mwhylo and Angela! She is great about sending photo text updates which is always greatly appreciated when missing my pup :)
Angela took good care of my dog, Roxy. Angela is responsible, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She provided constant updates too ensure I had piece of mind that Roxy was being well cared for. I would definitely leave my dog with her again.
Angela was the first sitter for our relatively recently adopted 10 year old dachshund. We didn't know what to expect, but it was clear to us that Angela took good care of our little fellow. We appreciate Angela's flexibility with the hours, day one was from about 8:30 to 4 and day 2 was from about 4 to 9. Our guy also got to spend time with Angela's dog, which was nice since ours doesn't have a companion at home. Next time we need a sitter, we'll definitely look for Angela.

I like to take extensive notes because some dogs are allergic certain things, but there's one thing that I'm very cautious of -- covered garbage cans!...I like to ensure safety is a top priority. But so are hugs.

Information Angela S. would like to know about your pet
My 14 year old Italian Greyhound passed away ~2yrs ago. (In pictures). I'm a single mother with a male Chinese Crested puppy, and, 2 human kids 100% of the time, so our life is pretty goofy, serious and active! We love older dogs with endless personalities, and the puppies that can't figure out what their tail is hitting!
A typical day
We love cuddling. We go outdoors, beaches, hiking, and making our own (safe) trails. We like to sleep, dog pile, run in the rain, and see new stuff. So long as everyone is OK, there's a chance we may just keep walking....being in tune with what is best at that time is key.

I spend most of my time with my dog, or walking and hiking and with my kids outdoors. If I'm not cleaning up after them, I'm probably doing research for a PhD on poop. Literally.
