Furkids --> My home is your home!
Pet care experience
My 2 fur kiddos are my babies, without a doubt! For me and my husband, they are the loves of our lives. I've loved and been passionate about animals my entire life so it's no surprise to me that as an adult, animals dominate a huge part of my life. From at home to at the animal shelter where I volunteer 3 times a week - my life is filled with dogs. We have 2 small dogs: a yorkie and a chihuahua (ages 12 and 13). Our former elder statesman, Wylie (passed 9/2017), had special needs as he was blind and had several health issues; our beloved Marcel (passed 5/2018) also had many health issues. So, we have experience with special needs dogs and with administering medications of all types. My bachelors degree was in Nursing but for several years now I work from home as a painter / artist -- so I am lucky enough to be home with our dogs every day. Our house has a front fenced courtyard with a fountain and a fenced backyard with a pool -- both areas are dog friendly and small-dog-proofed. DROPPING-OFF / PICKING-UP TIMES: clients are welcome to drop pets off any time of day (including very early mornings). Pick-ups must occur prior to 8pm.
Reviews
My two mini poodles enjoyed their time with Ann. I got pictures of them while I was away, and they got lots of love. I’m relieved that I have someone I trust to care for them and keep them safe and loved when I am away.
My pups love Ann. She treats them as if they were her own.
Ann provided amazing care for our girl Penny. She is very caring and we were very confortable haveing her care for our little girl. Thank you Ann!!!
Ann is a loving woman. I knew my Gracie was being loved while we were gone. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced courtyard and backyard that is small-dog proofed. We do have a pool but we don't leave dogs unattended near the pool. In addition, we don't leave dogs unattended outside in general because small dogs are vulnerable as prey.
Home
Information Ann L. would like to know about your pet
I want to know any pertinent health or behavioral issues your dog may have. It's very helpful to understand their bathroom habits as well as any issues they may have with anxiety - and how you help them with any issues. It's not uncommon for dogs to have various issues and I'm happy to adapt as needed. REQUIRED: All dogs staying in our home must wear a collar and ID tags that display client's current contact info. This is for your pet's safety and is required even if your pet is micro-chipped. If you do not have a tag, I am happy to attach one with my contact info during their stay. I've never had a dog escape but nonetheless tags provide an extra layer of safety.
A typical day
Daily activities while your kiddos stay here could include walks, outdoor time, cuddling, playing with toys. In addition, there is the all-important daily chew/treat. Please let me know if any treats should be avoided.
