Animal lover seeking fur babies
Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have one cat named Lucy and a sweet golden retriever named Bear. My family and I have four golden retrievers altogether, so I’m no stranger to a busy, furry household! This fall, I’ll be earning my Animal Assisted Therapy Certificate through Slippery Rock University. One of my biggest goals is to train Bear to become a certified therapy dog. I’ve developed a strong interest in dog training and animal care, and I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable support for pets and their families. I’m organized, responsible, and truly care about each animal I meet. Whether you need help with daily walks, pet sitting, or just someone trustworthy to love on your pets while you’re away—I’d be honored to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make life a little easier. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones!

Safety, trust & environment
At my home, I have crates available if needed, a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and easy access to a walking trail nearby for plenty of exercise and enrichment. I also have a golden retriever named Bear who is friendly, social, and currently in training to become a therapy dog. I’m mindful of introducing pets slowly and respectfully to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If your pet is more comfortable in their own environment, I’m also happy to provide in-home care. I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s daily care or an overnight stay, I make sure every pet gets the attention, affection, and care they deserve. **my dog is not allowed on the couch but your pets are more than welcome!**
Ratings and reviews
Ann was great with our two Golden Retrievers. Archie and Percy both felt comfortable with her.
Annie sent lots of photos and dave the cat said she did a great job looking after him.
Ann was super responsive and kept us updated with how are dog was doing while she stayed there. She looked like she was having a good time and getting along well with Ann and her sweet dog Bear.
Couldn’t have been better care for our puppy! Ann provided so many pictures, videos and endless updates. I was so nervous leaving our 3 month puppy for a week but she was amazing!! We will be using her forever for boarding services!
Ann was great and was very flexible with my schedule changes. My puppies loved her!
Ann did a great job with our boy Rogi!

Schedule
As a full-time Art Therapist, I have a structured schedule, and my Friday afternoons and weekends are free—making it easy for me to dedicate quality time to caring for other people’s pets. I spend a lot of time with my own pets, including my golden retriever, Bear. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do in my free time—it’s part of my lifestyle. I enjoy walking, playing, grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. It’s something that brings me joy and fits easily into my everyday rhythm.
