I ❤️ All Animals. ✌🏻💚🐾
Pet care experience
My life has always been around animals from hamsters, fish, turtles, dogs, cats, birds, rabbits….you name it. I love being active in the great outdoors, and bringing dogs with me every chance I get. I also appreciate being balanced and still cuddling with the pups. I own(ed) two dogs from 7weeks - 13 years old. I had a Golden Retrier, Marilyn (therapy dog) rest in piece my sweet girl 8/28/09-12/25/22. I still have my little buddy Boston Terrier, Brodie (therapy dog) Recently adopted a Labrador Retriever, named Dharma Sky on 7/29/23 where she will be 7weeks and start training and being loved right away. So Brodie stays home with the pack, but Dharma comes with me on dog sitting gigs and most walks for she is in training which needs consistency while I'm also studying at Animal Behavioral College becoming a Certified Dog Trainer using her as my hands on study. So your dog(s) will also have their training reinforced while away along with loving your fur babies of course. I'll send plenty of pics and videos to keep you feeling safe, secure, and stress free while away from home. If Dharma is an issue for sitting/walking I can make an exception in some cases.
Reviews
Angie is very easygoing and attentive. My dog loves the walks!
Angie house sit for my 14 week old puppy while I was at the conference for 4 days. I was very impressed by how much she was attentive to my puppy, letting me know how he was doing on a regular basis, and even training him a few commands. I came home, finding much better-behaving dog, and her notes about what she observed about my dog and suggestions. My puppy and I definitely look forward to seeing her again!
Angie was amazing with my two pups, especially my picky girl who is selective on the people and dogs she hands out with. She constantly updated me and had me feeling at ease and stress free knowing they were happy and loved.
Angie was so great! I received lots of pictures of my babies, which helped me not to miss them but also to keep on top of an injury that occurred before we left. She was a great 'sit in' momma, even applying and administering necessary medications on time. Thanks Angie, Hope to see you again soon!

Safety, trust & environment
I follow pet owners request(as long as its not harmful of course)I do believe in crate training especially in the beginning years as I have my Dharma crate trained and will continue to use it for the next year. I don’t over abuse the purpose of a crate, and I create a crate to be a positive experience where the dog feels safe.
Information Angie S. would like to know about your pet
Some info I would need to know is if the pet has special needs, behavior issues(such as getting along with children or other animals), medication, or anything else you find relevant.
A typical day
I will take them on numerous walks, play fetch or mental stimulating games. Upon approval I can train pets up to 3 times a day 5-15 minute sessions to positively reinforce good behaviors. I just keep the dogs well loved and exercised mentally and physically.
