About: Hello! I am a farm girl who grew up with dogs , cats , horses, cows and sheep. Over the past twenty five years I have adopted four rescue dogs taking dogs who were older and harder to adopt. If I could I would give every rescue animal a home. I have had success working with animals who others find daunting. I am skilled in basic obedience training and click training. I love puppies and elderly dogs equally. I am currently taking classes to start a new career and my schedule is very flexible. I can pet sit 7 days a week and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs I can come to your home and feed, walk, play or sit with your pet. I will be very conscientious about security and cleanliness and will update you with msgs via text or email. I like to send pics of pets so you can see your best friend while you are away and have peace of mind that all is good on the home front

About: I’ve grew up on a horse farm where my parents also breed and raised Rottweilers growing up! I have been around animals of all sizes from before I can remember. I also have years of experience taking care of all types and sizes of animals due to this, from tiny teacup chihuahuas to gentle giants! Given plenty of baths, special feedings and followed strict schedules! I recently lost my 9 year old great dane and am missing a companion around dearly. Looking for some cool pups to make friends with who are in need of some company to! I currently am a stay at home momma myself! I tend to just mosey around the house and take walks to the park right next door with the kiddos nowadays. I have complete open availability, with lots of space in and out of my home to accommodate for your fur baby. I enjoy animals company more than people most days so if your fur baby needs a friend, let get together! I have a secure large fenced in yard. Although i am still happy to take them on daily walks. Also i love rewarding them with some of their favorite treats, so please bring theirs! Crates are welcome if needed, not necessarily however, I plan to be very attentive. With over night stays if they are normally crated, I do ask you bring theirs so they can be comfortable. My home is open and clean, they are more than welcome to play in or the yard as well. Bring their favorite toys/ ropes or balls so we can enjoy all our time in or outside the house.


“Angie is amazing. We have now used her 2 years in a row and she shows our dogs the same love we would show them ourselves. I love that I am able to leave my dogs at home in their own environment than to board them in a kennel while on vacation. My 2 dogs seem to really like this and aren't near as anxious upon our return. Receiving updates and daily pics also helps this dog moms anxiousness while being away knowing they're getting good care.”

I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for!

“Cherie was absolutely awesome! She helped me navigate the River site since it was the first time, was extremely communicative, immediately helped sort out changing some last minute details when my dog passed just before the trip, and respected my cats dislike of strangers and tried to lure them to her but didn’t hunt them down and they were well cared for and happy when we got home. Since my cats are extremely shy she sent a creative variety of photos from around the house so we had the comfort of knowing that they were getting their daily care. Will absolutely book her for my future trips.”

Sharon H.
“Sharon is great with my pets. Going out of town was such a difficult things since my dog is so full of separation anxiety. He would be destructive, run away or be constantly barking. Then when I would return he would be moody and give me the guilt trip and sometimes not eat. Since Sharon has helped me out those issues are a thing of the past. It's almost like he does not miss me anymore. Its a bonus to get the daily updates and not to worry about my place when I'm gone. Obviously the consistency and the walks have helped the anxiety for my dog. I recommend Sharon as a loving pet caregiver and house sitter. Steve”
