Availability
I work full-time from home and a two bedroom apartment, and I’m available to board. I walk regularly and have my own dog 50% time. I will only board when I don’t have her. I can do fast walks, slow walks, and I have a car to take dogs to hikes if that is desired.

About Ann M.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have an unfenced yard for quick potty breaks if needed, but prefer walking dogs on leash around the Elmwood neighborhood if they are staying with me. It’s good to get exercise! Also happy to walk them in your area if I’m just doing a house visit. I have a laundry room where I can close off any pet food storage if your pet is adventurous and gets into things. I like building trust and boundaries with dogs early so that they can feel secure. I also love playing with toys and keeping them in rotation whether that’s a Kong, pull toys, cat feathers or mice, etc.

Loving, responsible pet care
Pet care experience
I’ve had pets since I was young including caring for and owning small, medium, and large dogs. I appreciate the need for exercise and am happy to maintain any rules for your pet to keep consistency. I’m well versed in giving pets medicine, training puppies with voice, treats and eye contact. I currently have a 60lb dog that is strong and unreliable meeting dogs on leash so I am versed in managing larger dogs and boundaries needed in their care so they feel supported. (My dog is with me 50% time and I will only take in sitting jobs when she isn’t here). I also appreciate and care for cats though I have never owned one.
Cat care experience
Ann also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Ann is wonderful with dogs and my grumpy little Chihuahua loves her. She is also a very kind person and extremely organized and responsible. Anyone is lucky to have her services!
Annie is an amazing dog Mom and has taken care of my energetic cattle dog Lucky many times including overnights. Lately, she has taken care of my 7 month old mini Aussie shepherd puppy Luna, who is a ball of energy and would like to be the boss of everyone. Annie is great at redirecting her energy without getting into a power struggle. Annie is responsible, firm but kind, and has an extensive understanding of dog behavior. My dogs always come back happy, well exercised, and loved on. I can't recommend her highly enough!
