Pet care experience
I've grown up around all types of animals and have had three loving family dogs and somewhere around 6 cats (not all at once!). My mum has had to administer medications for both my dogs and cats, so I know the pill-wrapped in cheese method, stroking it gently down the throat, etc. but I don't know how to give shots, or anything other than oral meds really. I follow dietary instructions to a tee if they are laid out, and I love to be playful but can be firm if you want your pet to kick the habit of jumping on people.
Reviews
Annabelle was an excellent match for my 15 year old Spaniel. She was conscientious, neat and tidy (she stayed overnight), reliable and trustworthy. My dog’s age brings challenges (vision and hearing issues) yet Annabelle never skipped a beat. I was nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but it worked fine.
Annabel is thoughtful and kind and so good with my dog Buddy, who just had an amputation of his 2 toes. She is reliable and always on time. I highly recommend her!
I’ve known Annabel her whole life and she loves animals. She grew up with cats and dogs. Annabel is organized and responsible. She will look after your pet as though he were her own. Sharing hugs and playing (if that’s something they like)

I do not give the option to personally house-sit pets due to the fact that I still live with some of my family members, my apologies!
Information Annabel B. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds and sizes but I personally know I cannot take care of a big, big dog since I am 5'4" and about 125 pounds! Otherwise, I think age and physical ailments are important for me to be aware of. Some of my friends have had dogs with recent surgeries or even upcoming, and since the family is used to that knowledge they may forget to tell people who don't see the dog often which can cause the dog to be handled painfully :(
A typical day
If I'll be staying around the dog's neighborhood, I'll be down to explore too since I might not know the area as well as my own! There's an inner puppy in every dog's heart, so tug of war, fetch, and all other favorites can be played. Since I am young, I am blessed with energy, stamina and the ability to twist and turn. If I get to bring a dog to my part of the woods, I know all the dog parks and cool spots to sniff around.

I am very flexible since I'm in an external schooling program and work part time! I will of course mention if I have an important commitment at least a week prior.
