I host ONE FAMILY at a time!
Pet care experience
Hello and thanks for inquiring about Annie's Dogs! My prices are a little higher because we do things a little different than most the sitters here on Rover. We take ONLY ONE family at a time. We don't host multiple dogs, just your baby. He or she gets all the love and attention and won't be sharing it with any other visiting pups. Your pup is treated like our family dog, complete with lots of genuine love and affection and playtime. There will be no other visiting dogs to take attention away from your sweet pup(s)! We are a Happy-dog-loving-home with a Mom, dad, 2 kids (teens) and 1 sweet pup (Kipper, the Bichon-Pug mix). We are all dog-loving people! We would love to love on your canine family member while you are out. We live in a very nice neighborhood in Tustin Ranch. There's a nice size yard for your pup to play or sunbathe in and we would provide 1-2 walks a day, depending on need of dog. We live near 3 parks and Peters Canyon Regional Park! Really great surroundings to explore and sniff! My services include photo updates on what your pup is up to and all the fun we are having together. I would love to meet and discuss your dogs needs and what we can do to make your pup most comfortable while you are away. I see myself, a bit reluctantly, as a crazy dog lady. If we are having a conversation and a dog walks by, you may lose my attention for a moment! I am drawn to most four-legged creatures! Large, small, docile, outgoing...I love dog company...always have. I love most breeds but am partial to Golden Retrievers, Labs, and mutts. I am very active. I run, and walk my dog every day, sometimes twice a day. We have a 2000, square ft home that we own and a medium size yard with grass and room to run! About this sitter: I'm an dog-loving, stay-at-home-mom of two human teenagers and wife of a dog-loving-husband! Our whole family enjoys our canine visitors: we are all serious dog-people. I understand how important it is to leave your baby with someone who will love them and nurture them in your absence. You have my promise that I will do just that. What I'd like you to know about me is that I'm really a dog nut. It's hard for me not to love on the doggies of the world. You can be reassured if your canine family member is under my care, he or she will be treated as if they were our family's own. As much I love all the doggies, I can not sit for some breeds including German Shephards, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Pitbulls and Akitas or other protective breeds, for insurance purposes. I will not be able to care for your dog if your dog nips or appears threatened by me. Lastly, precious dogs who are very sick or in need of hospice-type care, will need to find more a more suitable sitter, as I am not qualified for hospice care. Thank you. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I distinctly remember checking out the dog encyclopedia over and over again in elementary school. I grew up with Duke the beagle and then had Toughy the Bichon Frise mix. As an adult we've had Lily the lab and Mr. Kosmo the Poodle mix and Kipper the Bichon/Pug mix. I love the doggies!!! Meet my pets We do have an easy going canine family member named Kipper, who is friendly and super mellow. Not an attention hog. He is a unique combination of pug and bichon frise. He's docile and tolerant of all of our doggie visitors. He is 8 and a sweetheart. About my yard I have a medium sized, fenced yard with grass and a good amount of space to run and play in! My experience administering medication No problem with oral, eye/ear/ topical medications
Reviews
It doesn't get any better than this.
Ann is an incredible pet sitter!! She took such wonderful care of my two girls, Paisley and June while I attended my daughter's wedding. I was stressed out trying to find a pet sitter and I couldn't have found a more loving, thoughtful and caring person as Ann. She took all that worry off my shoulders. Ann, has such a calm and warming spirit that my two girls just gravitated towards her. I wrote up a little guide for her of their daily routine and she followed them all. She is amazing! She sent us pictures of them with her loving family which was icing on the cake. Let me say that after our second meeting with Ann, I knew in my heart my girls were going to be in loving hands. Here's why... as I parked the car to drop them off and walked from the Visitor's parking lot to Ann's home, Paisley and June both took me straight to her front door, tails wagging without me guiding them! I highly recommend, Ann and will definitely use her again. Thank you, Ann!!
I loved the photos Ann texted me and silly, cute things that happened during the stay with her.
Ann is the best dog sitter EVER! I cannot say enough positive things about how wonderful she is and how caring and thoughtful she was with Daisy. Daisy (and admittedly I) have several idiosyncrasies which we asked Ann to follow and she did them all. She even sent us pictures, videos and updates everyday on how Daisy was doing. If we couldn't be with Daisy ourselves, Ann is the next best thing for sure. We will definitely use her again and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will actually pay attention to their pets and care for them.

We love nearly every doggie breed but can not host aggressive breeds or overly active destructive breeds. We also can not host dogs who have marking habits and are not absolutely housebroken. We do require doggie guests to be socialized, as Kipper, our Pug/Bichon mix will be here and we encounter lots of doggie friends in our neighborhood daily. Canine guest to the Lew home must up-to-date on shots. Also doggies with have run of the backyard and house, so guest must not have excessive barking issues/chewing/digging issues :D. All doggies are unique and require love and attention. Let's chat and see how we can make your dog feel most comfortable while you are away.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We have 3 parks, AND Peters Canyon in walking distance. Every day, we walk through the park with the lemon groves or hike in the canyon where there are amazing sites and more importantly smells! If your dog is social, he or she will love all the canine friends we come across, or if you like we can walk through some of the less utilized parks near by, which are also very lovely! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Obviously every dog is different. We'll figure out something that is comfortable for everyone...whether it's their bed near ours or their crate from home or if your dog is most comfortable on our bed, we can accommodate :) Time I'll spend with your dog I am home most of the day. Your dog will get a 30 minute to and 1 hour walk depending on his or her needs. Then we'll have floor time where we play with some toys or throw and retrieve ball. And of course, pretty much any time we happen to glance at each other I'll be compelled to go on in for a doggie snuggle! And If I don't, my husband or one of my dog-loving teenage kids will!
