Your Baby is My Baby...

Pet care experience

Over the years I have become a go-to pet-sitter for friends, family, and coworkers. In fact, my coworkers call me the "dog whisperer." (Smile) I live in a cozy, 50's rambler in Minneapolis with my calm, happy and lovable yellow Labrador, Ames and our new rescue puppy, Botti. On occasion, I care for 2 Chihuahuas, 2 lab mixes, a goldendoodle and a schnauzer. (References are available) My lab gets along well with others dogs--his temperament is stellar--and our new pup is playful and well-socialized. I am known to bake homemade dog treats for my guests, with my peanut butter maple being a favorite with the pups. I have a fenced yard and live a block from the Minnehaha Creek, which makes walking a treat too. Due to a heart condition, my Lab is unneutered--so I ask that the dogs I care for be spayed or neutered. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our home for play-cations and TLC!

Ann is amazing!! My Golden actually loved it there so much that he seemed to think it was his second home! Besides taking great care of him, Ann gave him lots of love and snuggles. When I picked him up, he leaped on her to get more live! Highly recommend!

Ann took care of our sweet old Lucy for a long weekend, and everything went great! She had no trouble with giving Luce her medication and keeping us up to date with pictures. Lucy will be staying with Ann for a longer trip soon and we have no concerns about it whatsoever. We know she'll be in good hands, and will have a great time.

So glad we had Ann take care of our beloved Rosie! Ann was great at sharing pictures and messages with us about Rosie and know that our dog received love and the best of care while staying at Ann's. Rose doesn't warm up to other dogs, but she enjoyed the good company of Buckley and Ames. We were grateful to know that our dog was well taken care of and know that we would definitely choose Ann again to care for our dog.

Ann is wonderful! You can tell how much she cares for dogs. Buckley had such a great time playing with his new friends - we got lots of photo and video updates, which were so fun to look at. Buckley came home with homemade treats, too! We would definitely bring Buckley back to Ann’s again.

Information Ann Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special routines or quirks that need to be given attention--for example, is your pup sensitive to loud noises (fireworks and thunderstorms) or do they need space when they get over-stimulated?

A typical day

I walk the pups in shifts if we have more than one Rover client. The backyard is designed for fetch and tug sessions between the pups. We usually enjoy Netflix or stream movies and snuggle once the sun goes down.

I am back to working 8-hour days, so that means there isn't a midday potty break option for my guests. I hope this helps clarify. I largely work from home on my freelance artwork--so I am around a lot of evenings and throughout the weekend.
