Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to meet or provide care at your home, but I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a dog park nearby. My house has a fenced-in yard and a sprinkler for the hotter days. While I do not currently have a crate in my personal vehicle, I am happy to get one if you are more comfortable. I also have close friends with dogs and cats if play dates are helpful too!

Information Angelina D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral characteristics I should be aware of. I am familiar working with pets with behavioral issues, and it is important to me to know how best to support your pet and be safe.

A typical day

When first meeting a pet, I like to start patiently to let come to me on their own terms and allow me to see what they love and don’t love so much. Then, the fun begins! We can play with toys (puzzle treats are always fun for mental stimulation), go to my fenced in area with plenty of room to roam and run, stroll around the neighborhood, or go for trail walks nearby. I’m happy to work with you on basic training or exposures for your pet if helpful.

Pet care experience

I currently volunteer at an animal shelter and love working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and demeanors! I also have some basic training experience through my dog trainer, who also specializes in service work and behavioral training. My personal dog, Toffee (basset hound!), lived to be 16, and my favorite time with her was the patient walks and TLC needed as she got older--happy to support your senior animals too:) A couple other tidbits: I have experience working with farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas!) and majored in Environmental Science in college. Looking forward to meeting your furry ones!

Angelina was awesome with Hooper. She stepped in last minute and provided very great service. Hooper loved her! We will definitely call on her again!

Our dog Brady was happy, well-exercised, and well-loved while he was with Angelina. We especially appreciated the regular updates, videos, and photos. Brady got plenty of attention, playtime, and care. We are grateful for the thoughtful and reliable service and would absolutely trust Angelina to watch Brady again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!

Angelina is a top quality pet care-giver with a seemingly natural ability to relate to my pet's needs. Watching my dog's reaction to Angelina's presence was heart warming. My dog, Mason, always enjoyed the walks and play time and through that admiration, I believe, became more obedient as a result. Mason has since passed, however, should the time come for a new addition to the family, Angelina is top of the list for walking and overnights.
