“Jenny was amazing with our 6-month-old golden retriever, Winnie! Our puppy has tons of energy, and Jenny handled her with so much patience and care. Winnie had an absolute blast playing with Jenny’s dog, Remy; they were the perfect duo! We got plenty of photo updates and could tell Winnie was having the best time. We felt totally at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

Our puppy came home clean and seeming like she was unphased being away from us because she got sooo much attention at Angie’s.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry family members. I’ve had a variety of different dog breeds — especially those labeled “aggressive.” Because of this, I know every dog has a story and is capable of love regardless of how they’re stereotyped. All animals deserve the same love and kindness as I would give to my very own. I have some experience volunteering at my local humane society & dog sitting for family members & friends. I have no problem tailoring to your animals’ needs and I will treat them with the same love, respect, and adoration that I have for my own fur babies. During the school year my schedule can be a bit hectic with classes and work; however, I can easily move around my schedule and fit in time to care for your pet. If you are willing to be flexible with time, I can easily squeeze you in! If we cannot arrange something, I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible to allow time to find another sitter/ walker. When caring for your pet I expect to find food with instructions (feeding time, how much food, etc.), treats & how many they can have, toys or puzzles, and any other equipment you want me to use when looking after your furry friend. Please do not hesitate to share any boundaries or silly rituals that your pet requires.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I treat every pup like part of the family and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. 🐾🤎 I work full-time at a hospital, so evenings and weekends work best for pet care. (As of right now anyways) I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight care during those times and will make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention! 🐾🤎 In our home, we will be putting in a fenced-in yard so dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. We also have a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old, so I understand the importance of a safe, calm, and supervised environment. I’ll make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, care, exercise, and love while they’re with us. 🐾🤎
About: I have been watching pets since I was 10 and and I am very responsible. Plus I have my own pets I take care of. I’m free whenever to watch your pet just please give me a few days in advance. I will make time for you and your pets. I will feed them make sure they have water and take them outside play with them and we can go on walks. If your pet has a schedule I will follow it.
