~SCHEDULE~ I do Rover full time and my boyfriend works from home. As a team, we will dedicate more than enough time to be there for your furry friends and loved ones! ~UPDATES~ Keep in mind that I will send photos and videos every time you ask! This helps avoid constantly spamming your email, text messages, and the Rover app, and ensures you get updates at times that you’re awake, not in the middle of something serious, not driving, and thinking about them. I wouldn’t want to send an update in the afternoon or evening if you’re worried about how they are first thing in the morning! This also helps avoid any disruptions from time zone differences or changing sleep schedules due to travel. Every time you want a photo or video, shoot me a message and ask them how they are! ~BOARDING CAPACITY~ The number of pets I board in my home and whether they are separated by different floors, depends on factors such as behavior, personality, energy levels, anxiety, size, compatibility, and your preferences. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment by minimizing overstimulation, overplaying, and territorial behaviors. ~MEET & GREETS~ I would prefer not to have meet and greets without compensation considering, again, I am doing Rover full time and am working with at least 1 pet nearly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and strive to give my full attention to the pets I am with. I feel a bit uncomfortable blocking out a chunk of my time to meet if it meant taking attention away from a pet I am being paid to give my full attention to. If I were to schedule a meet and greet for every pet I took care of, my time wouldn’t be utilized optimally; I hope you understand where I’m coming from! Please keep in mind that my modes of transportation include walking, transit, and e-scooter.

Information Ann W. would like to know about your pet

//NOTES (FOR SITTER TO KNOW)// If you can or would like to, please let me know: 1. If they’re a biter so I know to wear big clothing ◡̈ ❤️ (I have experience with biters so no worries!) 2. If your pet gets along well with others of the same species. (For boarding, let me know if you’d rather your dog be separated from other dogs and have their own space, or if you’d rather them be together and have the chance to socialize!) 3. If they pull on walks (so I know to use my no-pull leash :) 4. If they bark excessively (I may separate them from other dogs I might be boarding) 5. How often and for how long they usually/should go out for 6. If they have any triggers or favorite anythings (shows like Bluey, words, activities, etc.) 7. Tricks that you would like them to learn/that I can try to teach them! 8. Any warning signs that you have seen from your pet indicating stress, anxiety, anger, uneasiness, hunger, need to potty, etc. //NOTES (FOR PET OWNERS TO KNOW)// ~KEYS~ Please try to either get a lock box or establish a hiding spot for keys if you can! It would be greatly appreciated as it will keep me from having to carry many many keys from different owners and keep me from having to make extra trips to retrieve and return keys (if you cancel). ~CANCELLATION POLICY~ Please keep in mind that if you cancel your booking while I have your key, you will need to make the trip to pick up your key from me; it’s only fair and that is my only cancellation policy considering I would have denied other clients to put your pet on my schedule and will not make another free trip to your home. I hope you understand as this is how I make a living! ~DISCLAIMER~ ❗️Rates are subject to change as demand often rapidly increases and it is typical that I have an overload of requests daily. Additionally, please understand that in the case that I receive requests from clients who are closer to me geographically and easier to get to, I will have to prioritize them and drop current clients to utilize my time optimally. For my career to develop, I will need to consider time optimization and ways to divide my time in the most efficient and effective way. I hope you understand! •ᴗ• ♡ ❗️Times must be flexible considering I mostly rely on transit to get around and buses and trains are inconsistent based on speed, traffic, stops requested, pedestrians crossing, etc. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to speaking with you and taking extremely awesome care of your fur-family!

A typical day

~YOUR PET’S TYPICAL DAY UNDER MY WATCH~ I would love to teach them new tricks, explore new parks with them, go on lots of walks, let them play with new toys, give pup cups if allowed, teach/play fetch and have them running A LOT and having lots of funnnn! They will definitely have more fun than I will because I’ll be extremely cautious about their safety, all while watching everything like a hawk and trying give them the absolute best care/following their care instructions to a T.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of over 200 pets and I do Rover full-time! I have seen it all and am equipped and experienced with every behavior, trigger, and quirk that a pet could have! I am knowledgeable about how to get picky pets to eat their food and medicine, about how to ease pets’ separation anxiety and about how how to train pets’ with trouble controlling their barking. Not only that, I absolutely love to teach pets tricks! I would say that I also specialize in reading pets’ body language and am confident in my ability to understand pets’ needs, wants, and feelings! Below are my rates for walks: $20 for 20 mins $28 for 30 mins $40 for 45 mins $55 for 90 mins

We left our husky with Ann for an overnight stay, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Huskies can be a handful, but Ann handled everything with such professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for pup! I highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Ann!
