Truly Love and Care for Dogs!!!!

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved a variety of dogs practically my whole life. I have either worked out of my home or been a Mom to my now grown children, so my dogs are always with me 24/7. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I have cared for friends dogs on many occasions. I have kept them both for single days and overnight and I believe their testimonials speak best as to their satisfaction with that care. I was an Animal Science major in college so as you can imagine animals are an integral part of my life. I have had experience administering meds and handling dogs that have seizures. Most importantly I love dogs, enjoy walking, working with and handling them. I enjoy an early morning walk as much as the dogs do! If you leave your dog in my care rest assured every one of his or her needs will be met and there will be plenty of love and affection as well!

Ann Roberts would make a perfect candidate for dog sitting. She has cared for my dog numerous times when I have traveled for work. She makes the transitions for the dogs extremely easy while their owners are away or out of town because she treats them as if they are her own. She is always taking the dogs on great long walks in the mornings and has a house that is perfectly set up for dogs with a dog door to an outside pen. She is warm and caring and really seems to have a sixth sense around animals as far as if they need something or how they are feeling. Also, with a lot of experience with a variety of animals and some medical background she is extremely for caring for dogs. I can't think of someone more perfect or whom I trust more when going out of town with my dog. It is truly peace of mind as an owner knowing the dog is safe with her and I don't need to worry.

I have known Ann for 12 years. She is an animal lover and a very dependable, responsible person. Ann has had animals most of her life and always given them the best care. They are not pets, they are family to her. Ann's kindness and compassion for animals is evident in the positive way they respond to her. She has watched my dog in the past and I trust her completely. If you want peace of mind when you can't be with your furry friend, Ann is a perfect choice!

I can strongly recommend Ann as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. We have walked our dogs together every morning for almost 10 years. I have seen her interact not only with her own dog, and mine but also with all kinds of dogs at the parks where we walk. She has natural affinity for dogs and they respond well to her. She is knowledgeable about dogs and easily anticipate their needs and understands their behavior. Most importantly, she is responsible and can be trusted to care for the dogs and keep them safe and happy. I trust her completely with my two dogs and have been with her when taking care of dogs for others. I can confidently and highly recommend her to be a caregiver for dogs.

Information Ann R. would like to know about your pet

Basic personality issues. is the dog well socialized? Any particular fears, health issues or quirks. How well housebroken? Scared of thunder storms?

A typical day

There is a forty acre field near my house where I walk my dogs. There is no leash law there so they are allowed to run if that is acceptable to the owner. Other dogs do walk there and are well socialized so it is a lovely place to romp and play. There is a small brook on that property. I also have horses and if the owner gives permission I can and will bring the dog to the barn with me. I enjoy the company of dogs and weather permitting I pretty much bring them everywhere I go. I have a mini van so they can travel with me crated or otherwise.
