I have a part time job and am a full time student, but I am more than willing to work around your pets schedule. Your pet’s care is my priority, and I wouldn’t accept a job if I didn’t believe I could give them 110% of my attention and affection.

Safety, trust & environment

I would take your pets on walks, cuddle them, and overall ensure they’re being cared for to the best of my ability. I would also get to know them well so I could easily assess if any behaviors are out of the ordinary.

Information Annalise S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know the breeds, their hyperactivity, and allergies or special needs and requests. I would also like to know their specific schedules so I can accustom them.

A typical day

I’m a sucker for a good cuddle. I also love to take animals on walks, play with them and their toys, and I’ve recently been interested in puzzles for my girl. Overall, I’d like to invite some excitement into their life while offering the same familiarity in the routines you offer.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Annalise, and I have been pet sitting since high school, for about six years now. Ever since then, it feels like I’ve found my passion. I’m an international affairs major at JMU, and a proud cat mom (the tabby)! Adopting my baby boy Alex soon (the first dog), who I’m training from the ground up. He’s a nervous boy but worth it! I’m willing to put in the work, and I can’t think of a better reward than the love of an animal. If you give me the honor to look after your babies, I promise I’ll care for them fiercely. I do this because I love it, and it makes me happy; please reach out to me if you need a hand, I’d be more than happy to give it!!

Appreciate that you were able to take on a fairly last minute, complicated kitty!

Annalise was a great caretaker to our large family of animals while we were away! She was so enthusiastic and kind with our cats and chickens. I felt reassured knowing she was with them, and I loved that she sent us photos and updates during her sit. She is very honest and trustworthy. Thank you Annalise!!!

Annalise took such great care of my pups. Let me be clear - there were four prep meetings leading up to her actual stay because of how challenging/anxiety-ridden my dogs can be. She has been patient, understanding, and willing to work with them where they are at. Throughout my five-day trip, I received ample photos and videos which I loved. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting tons of snuggles, their meals on time, and lots of outside time. All in all, I came home to happy pups and I'm so grateful. I've already booked with Annalise again! Highly recommend!
