Pamela did a great job taking care of our dog on last-minute notice. We really appreciated her flexibility. as a senior dog, she was curious how he would do with other dogs and made sure it was a good fit in advance of our stay. We will definitely use Pamela again in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I helped raise and take care of a Golden Retriever for 14 years in my childhood home until she passed away. Right know I have 3 elderly dogs who are my BFF's. I can't imagine my life without a furry friend. Also I've helped watch family and friends dogs since a young age. I love dogs of any kind and will love yours like my own! I’m currently working close to home with very flexible hours. I can work with your schedule to find the right time to care for your pets! I will approach your pet in a calm and slow manner until they feel comfortable with me. I have a fenced yard. My neighborhood is great for walks. Also depending on your preference with dog park/ walks, I typically take dogs for a 30 min walk (of course each dog is different in taking their time I fully respect that). If your dog is comfortable at the dog park, I’d love to take them there as well! My dog park is 20 minutes away (walking).I can accomodate dogs in crates or dogs that sleep on dog beds. In case of an emergency, I will always contact you first and take your pet to your preferred vet. I have a jeep which your dog will feel really comfortable in, so I am able to get your pet to whichever vet quickly!

Simply phenomenal! This was the first time we've had to leave Ollie for the whole day so we wanted to be sure he was left in good hands. I've been on the sitter side many times before but this was the first time we've left one of our dogs with someone other than family. We could not be happier or more grateful! Catie was extremely communicative, gave multiple picture and video updates, and Ollie clearly had a blast playing with Catie's dogs! So glad to have found such a loving, attentive sitter we can feel so comfortable leaving our pup with :)

WOW! for our hyper-attached dog's first 1/2 day with Angela, we are so impressed! When we picked Skippy up, I had to throw a treat to lure her away from Angela 🥳 Then Skippy wanted to walk a bit on Angela's street and afterward Skippy went to Angela's gate instead of to our car. That behavior speaks volumes about Skippy's comfort level with Angela. Angela appears to have a very calming influence on Skippy 🥰 Thank you, Angela!
