Pet care experience
Safe place for your dog
Hi! I’m Ann, a reliable and attentive pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, but especially dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I tailor each sit, walk, or boarding stay to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 40 years. Some were mine, and some were clients'. All of which have taught me valuable lessons about patience, communication, and unconditional love. I learned that from animals. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long energy-burning walk, or just some companionship while you are out doing people things, I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents. You can expect: * 🐕 Dependable, on-time walks, safe and comfortable boarding, and training if needed * 📸 Photo and update after each visit * 🦴 Attention to your dog’s routine and preferences * 💛 Gentle, patient handling (great for anxious or reactive dogs) I treat every dog like they’re my own—because I know how much they mean to you. Let’s make your dog’s day a little brighter 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Ann is amazing! I felt totally secure that she was watching Biscuit. She gave me updates and even printed a small good boy award to send him home with. If we need to leave him with someone again we know who to call!
Our sweet pup had a wonderful first stay with Ann! Ann was exceptionally responsive, thoughtful and caring from arranging the pre stay meet and greet to her communication throughout the stay and her attention to his needs. She has a great attunement to animals and as a herding dog owner, she understood all of our pup’s quirks. She provided brushing, walks, meds, and pics. Don't hesitate to request Ann’s in home boarding! We are grateful for her care and will be using her again! Thanks Ann!
Ann was amazing. I have a rescue pup and I am very specific with his training and commands as he can be reactive at times. She was so responsive to my messages and knowledgeable about all things dog. She sent photos and updates throughout his stay. I would highly recommend her.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, Trust & Environment When pets are with me, their safety and comfort always come first. In Your Home (Dog Walking & Drop-Ins): I make sure to respect your routines and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medications, or reinforcing training commands. I check gates, doors, and leashes before every walk, and I never introduce your pet to unfamiliar animals without your permission. My goal is to give your pet exercise, attention, and calm companionship while keeping your home secure. In My Care (If Boarding/Daycare): Pets stay in a clean, dog-friendly environment where they’re treated like family. I provide cozy rest spaces, safe playtime, and regular potty breaks. I limit the number of pets I host so that every dog gets personal attention. I always supervise play, and I maintain a calm environment to reduce stress and keep tails wagging. Trust & Communication: I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind, so I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own—because I know how important they are to you.
A typical day
I like to make each visit fun and engaging based on the dog’s personality and energy level. This can include walks with plenty of sniffing time, games like fetch or tug, light training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners), and interactive play to keep them mentally stimulated. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to offer gentle companionship, brushing, or just spending calm time together so they feel safe and cared for.
