Your trusty outdoor doggy godmother

Pet care experience

BIO I've always been an animal advocate, but doggos and puppers hold a special place in my heart. In my college days, I started pet-sitting when I wasn't able to go home for the holidays. But it was a great way to get out of my domestic pet comfort zone and play with some colorful characters: cats, lizards, turtles, ferrets, and snakes! Pet-sitting is a creative way for me to live vicariously through other pet owners. Growing up, I wasn't allowed to have pets. But I've always had friends with pets. I love puppers and older doggos too. I was a "step-mom" George (border/collie lab) for four years. Currently, I help my partner with his basset hounds. Gretel and Stanley. Think of me as your doggy godmother :) I offer: *DOG WALKING: Whether your dog needs more attention or it just needs to get its crazies out, I can support you with daily neighborhood walks. I love being outdoors as much as possible, so we can play, exercise or go on an adventure while allowing you to focus on your away-from-home schedule. *DROP-IN/HOME VISITS: We all know work can get crazy sometimes and it can be tough to take a break to go home during the day. Bathroom breaks, administering medication, all the cuddles -- you name it. I'm more than happy to drop by to check on your fur baby and give you some peace of mind that they're being cared for while you're away. *OVERNIGHTS/EXTENDED VISITS If you're planning a trip or something unexpected happens, I can stay with your dog in the familiar comfort of its home. Please message for more details and availability. *UNLIMITED BELLY RUBS, KISSES + CUDDLES Complimentary :) Currently, I am waiting to return to my job in the restaurant industry, so my schedule is wide open. Typically, I will be working full time, but mostly in the evenings. For more extended visits, I can be free in the morning and early afternoon on weekdays, and completely open on the weekends. TRANSPORTATION NOTE: I am also a full-time cyclist, so I won't be able to drive anywhere. But I have access to public transportation or ride-share services if the situation calls for it. Since I work in the service industry, my schedule is always subject to change. If there are specific needs, please feel free to message me and we can try to work something out. I live in the North End of Boise, which offers a safe, quiet and pleasant neighborhood atmosphere. There is a dog park nearby (Sunset Park) if your dog is a social butterfly. I live with a housemate that is as equally pet-obsessed as I am because we aren't allowed to have pets. The silver lining? Infinite belly rubs are quite common and to be expected.

Ngan is wonderful! She took great care of our fur babies while we were on an extended trip, she also took care of our house and sent great updates. Highly recommend and we will certainly be reaching out again as needed :)

Ngan was so responsive and I felt like Tessa was in great hands while I was gone. She’s a senior dog, so I had some anxiety about leaving her, but Ngan sent great photos and let me know how she was doing. I highly recommend her if you need a house/pet sitter!

I would definitely recommend Ngan to care for your pets! Our two large and energetic dogs are a lot to handle, but she managed them well. She sent frequent photos and updates and was responsible and receptive to our texts and requests. Will definitely use her for pet sitting in the future!

Information Ngan H. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to fully understand the dog's temperament and how they socialize with other dogs and people. What do they respond positively to? Should I be aware of things that scare or surprise them? If so, what makes them feel safe when they're threatened? I will also note that I am a petite gal, but I'm stronger than I look :)

A typical day

Any walks, long or short, can be an adventure. Dog parks are common places to go, but I try to limit my time there. The majority of my experience has been frustration due to entitled dog owners that ignore rules at the expense of others. But there are so many other ways for doggos to get out and socialize. If they need to get their crazies out, we can go for a run or play fetch as long as they want. If we're close to downtown, we are bound to find a shaded patio spot to take a coffee break and relax.
