Pet care experience

Your best friend's new best friend!

Hi everyone! I’m Annalise and I have grown up with pets throughout my whole life! My family has always chosen to adopt rescues I have had a variety of animals. I am proficient in puppy care along with administering medication to animals. I am a graduate of UW-Madison and would love to continue building a client-base in my hometown area! I have a lifetime of experience with pets, specifically dogs and cats. I lived on a 5 acre hobby farm for many years, prior to purchasing my own home in town, where I have taken care of chickens, ducks, and miniature horses. Growing up, my family always had 3 dogs (big, little, and everything in between), and they became my absolute best friends along with teaching me the importance of caretaking at a young age! My family has always chosen to adopt rescues so I have a diverse understanding of caring for animals of various ages and medical needs. I provide personal care, ensuring each dog feels safe and loved. I completely understand that trusting your best friend to someone requires trust and I am sensitive to both the physical and emotional well-being of your pet. Whether it consists of walks, playing, or snuggling during those relaxing moments, I will ensure your pet has the best level of care! When caring for pets in your home, I guarantee that they will feel safe and comfortable in an environment they know well! I will make sure to follow your pet's routine, providing playtime, walks, feeding, and any other special care they may need (specifically medication schedules). I will also respect your home as if it is my own by keeping it tidy. I will give daily updates and pictures because I know, from experience, how much that can relieve a person while away from their fur-babies:)

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live with two rescue cats! I have experience with three dogs (big, medium, small) and two cats at my parents! I am consistent with potty/play breaks outside as well as sticking to a specific feeding/medication time! I believe all pets need and deserve attention so I find it incredibly important to give them that needed love and affection throughout the day.

Annalise did a great job taking care of our very spoiled kitty Arya! We were able to take a two week vacation and we were never worried about how things were going at home. Annalise is very caring and conscientious about her time with Arya. She will be my first choice in the future for a caregiver for Arya.

Annalise stopped by our home two times prior to our departure, to help our dog(and me) feel at ease. Our pets were very well cared for by Annalise, plus she left our home very tidy. Definitely recommend!

This was our big first time using Rover, having Annalise as a sitter and leaving our 13 week old puppy. I have no idea why I was worried. Annalise was wonderful. We came home to a happy, tired puppy. So I know our puppy was taken care of and not ignored. Everything was kept picked up and clean. Annalise was prompt on getting to our house. She also sent a text confirming her sitting that day. You really couldn’t ask for anything or anyone better. We will certainly use her again.

Annalise was phenomenal with our two girls. We have larger dogs that are very protective of us and our property, Annalise came in to meet the girls a few times and was able to overcome our dog's protective nature and make our dogs feel at ease with her coming into the house. She is patient and kind and genuinely loves the animals that she cares for. She gets 5 Stars only because they wouldn't allow me to give her 10 Stars. If you want to ensure that your animals are loved and cared for while you are away, there is no better choice in my mind that Annalize for taking all your home and pets.

Schedule

My schedule is typically open so I would be able to care for your pet as much as you would prefer depending on location/expectations! I am able to be flexible as long as I have a heads up on the requirements (days, times, etc.) for sitting your pet, I would be able to move around my schedule as necessary to fit your expectations.

Please let me know if there are specific medical or behavioral concerns that are unique to your pet so I can be mindful of these things! I am a strong believer in over-communication with details like this as I want to ensure your pet's wellbeing along with your peace of mind.
