Experienced, professional pet care
Pet care experience
I have over twenty years of experience working with animals in various aspects; including pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavioral modifications (training classes with my own dogs), and rescue work. I have experience with companion animal medical issues and am comfortable administering medications, including injections, oral meds, subcutaneous fluid administration, etc, and assisting in surgical recoveries (minor to major, including orthopedic recoveries and rehab). I also have extensive experience working with senior and special-need dogs and cats. Three of my dogs have heart conditions, and two of those also have a history of seizures. I pay close attention to my dogs' diets and am a supporter of proper canine nutrition and supplements. I am a mom to three amazing daughters, and a volunteer rescue coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I have 4 of my own dogs. We welcome boarders and foster dogs into our home frequently, so my kids and dogs are used to new furry friends coming to stay with us, and always welcome them! We treat our boarders just like we treat our own dogs. We have a secured covered deck, attached to a fenced in yard. It’s quite an oasis for our dogs to enjoy while they’re outside with us. I also offer minor grooming services such as baths, nail trims, anal gland expression, brushing of teeth, ear cleaning, and feet and facial hair trims. I do ask that if your dog is coming to my home, that he/she is good around children and other dogs, housetrained (unless it’s a puppy), current on vaccines or proof of adequate titer levels, and on heartworm and flea prevention. I do require a meet and greet before allowing your dog to stay, to ensure we are a good fit for your pup and your pup for us. I also require your dog to be crate trained, as this is best for your dog's safety during moments that I need to be aqway from the home. You will need to provide his/her food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off can only occur between 8:30-5. I'm home most of the time and if I do need to be gone, it's never more than 1-2 hours at a time. I have a senior pup on heart meds 5 times a day, so I'm on a strict schedule and routine to accommodate him. All boarders are treated like members of our family. They are allowed everywhere we go in the home, on furniture, etc. For this reason, I do not accept dogs from multiple families at the same time. We do have baby gates in appropriate areas, to prevent dogs from escaping out doors.
Reviews
Angie is very knowledgeable of the King Charles Cavalier. She welcomed my dog Shelby into her home and treated her as one of the family. I can't give Angie enough praise for the way she treated and cared for my Dog.
Angie was GREAT! She took wonderful care of Lola and I've never been more comfortable or confident leaving our dog with anyone ever. Angie even checked in while we were away to give us updates so that we knew Lola was in good care. Highly recommend!!!
We have semi-difficult dogs, and Angie was excellent with them. It was reassuring to know that she was there to meet all their needs. She was on time with the scheduled walking and feeding. It is with the upmost confidence that we will be using her services again.
Angie was very polite and helped our doggie feel comfortable right from the beginning. Her family was very warming and her 3 girls made our dog feel right at home. Angie was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions to help our dog have the most comfortable stay in her care. She communicated great before and during our dog boarding, when we come back into town she will definitely be first on our list!

Home
Information Angie H. would like to know about your pet
Has does your dog act around other animals? Children? What's a typical day like for your dog at home (I like to mimic that as closely as possible)? Medical or behavioral issues? Any quirks, like rushing the door, getting into trash, etc.
A typical day
Since I'm home most of the day, there's constant supervision and interaction with my dogs, children, and myself. I have 5 acres of land and we go out frequently for potty breaks and we go for walks on my quiet, country road.
