Reviews
Having had too many disappointments with past dog sitters I felt I had all the right questions for Ann. Ann was quick to respond to my request for a sitter and more than available to come over to meet me and our dog. She answered every question I had for her with great transparency- in the end she made sure she was right for us, and we were right with her. Ann sent the cutest pictures every day and reassurances that all was going well. She is totally reliable and trustworthy - I came home to a very happy dog and a house cleaner than I think I left it! Will definitely reach out to her again.
I'm still trying to figure out how someone calls me and my husband "energetically imbalanced" during a first meet and greet. Lol Ann kept talking and talking. She hardly let my husband or myself say anything. When my husband asked if ahe ever owned cats her response was "what do you think". It was the weirdest and most uncomfortable "meet and greet"! And she got paid for a drop in.
Ann was amazing!! She stayed with my cat, Dave, over Christmas and I felt so at ease with her watching him! She sent updates and pictures of him every day and I could tell she has a lot of experience with animals! It was overall such a great experience and i would 100% book with Ann again, Dave already misses her!
Ann was sweet and patient with my kitty and very communicative, sending me updates and photos to ease my mind while I was out of town. It is clear that Ann truly cares about animals and is attentive to their nonverbal communication. I felt assured that my sweet baby was in good hands, and I returned home to a happy kitty.

A typical day
I set my own schedule. I LOVE spending Lots of Quality Time with my pet friends. I spend lots of interaction time with each pet with focus on their favorites, so I also custom tailor the activities. For the dogs, we walk wherever they like to go, usually around the beautiful neighborhoods, parks, beaches, trails, etc. For all pets in general, our fun activities usually involve Goofing Around, Being Silly, Playing with their Favorite Toys, Doing Tricks, Dog Treat Training, Good-Manners Dog Training, Enjoying Meals Together, and of course, Napping Snuggling Cuddling, Watching Animal Shows, Doing Pet Photo/Video Shoots AND Pet Body Massages and Belly Rubs :) Your Pets' sleeping arrangement: Anywhere they want or whatever the owner prefers is totally fine with me. I Cater to Your Needs :)
