I am new to Rover but I have been caring for all varieties of animals for my entire life. Both my own and for others. I am home full time and can give my full attention to your pet. I go with the flow with how your dog is feeling. Feeling like sitting and having extra cuddles? No problem! Feeling like wanting to immediately go outside and play right away? Let's go!

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to balance your pets well-being with physical exercise and mental stimulation during playtime. It's important to me that they feel safe and happy while you are away. If for any reason I were to feel they didn't and seemed stressed, I would let you know. In my home I am not able to care for dogs that are: * Incessant barkers * Not trained to potty only outside * Not leash trained * Not on flea medication

Information Ann R. would like to know about your pet

For first time clients I have a $20 off code: ANNR73557. I like to have a meet and greet to get a feel for whether I am a good fit for your dog or pet. Let me know if they have any special needs. I typically give two walks a day. So if they prefer short walks due to health reasons, I can adjust accordingly. I do own a dog stroller and can use that if needed so they can enjoy a longer walk outside. Do they have a preference for resting and napping at a specific time of day? Do they need to be fed a midday meal? Given medications? Because I only take one client per day, I am able to tailor your dogs needs just like at home.

A typical day

For dogs: Fetch, tug of war, tunnels, scent games, such as treasure hunts, and nose work, puzzle toys, pet safe bubbles, followed with quiet rest times and love and affection.

Pet care experience

Need someone who will make your dog feel just as happy and content as they would while being in their own home with their pet human? That's what my goal is when your dog is in my care. I provide a clean loving home environment. I make sure their day is both enriching and structured so they feel calm, confident, and emotionally balanced. For Drop Ins I am able to care for many types of animals. I grew up with chickens, rabbits, cats, birds, hamsters, mice, fish and of course dogs. I am very responsible and efficient. I prefer to meet and chat with each client before to get all the important information that I will need and to know before hand. I will take photos to give updates so that you can feel good knowing things are going well.

Ann took care of our golden retriever. We didn't have to worry at all because she was in good hands. She regularly sent us pictures to reassure us. She gave her lots of petting in the evening. She also fed her the food and treats we gave her.

Ann is a wonderful person. We used her many times to help with our dogs, whether walks and/or dog sitting. She is very loving and caring and we always feel like we can go on trips worry free when she is in charge of our furry family members. My animals love her too.
