He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay.

I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!”

About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.

“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”

My ex-husband and I raised two dogs from puppies and have adopted/fostered many senior pets. One of our dogs is a tripod, one is epileptic, and one is incontinent, so I have special needs experience.

It is of the utmost importance that pets in my care feels safe and secure. I work full-time as a vet tech at a vet clinic in Lithia. I just moved to the area from Southern Indiana. I can do visits on my days off or before/after my shifts. My fur babies are more than just out pets; they are our kiddos. Your babies will be treated as such, too! Before I moved, I provided both drop in and boarding services. At this time, I can only do drop ins. I have subscription to Bark Box and a HUGE basket filled to the brim with toys. We keep plenty of blankets and beds around the home. We have a large sectional that we lounge on and a fully fenced in yard.

I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone.

I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

I know he is waiting at the Rainbow bridge for us along with Sasha, Truffles, Harry, Solo, Skippy, Maestra, Toi, Chichi, Heathcliff and the other birds, turtle, goldfish that I loved in the past. I miss being with them and would love to spend time with dogs again. For past 24 years have been mother to several cats who are my furry children. I understand that dogs are not just our pets, but family members that you love like children. I am also available for cat sitting, including feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning litter boxes.

Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !”
