I do have summers off and I work part time during the school year. I can modify my schedule to work from home on some days. I am usually not gone from my home longer than 4-6 hours on work days and I try to make adjustments to my schedule when needed. I understand how separation can impact some pups. My dogs and my sweet kitty are here to keep your pup company when I have to leave. I’ve recently added limited daycare to my services. I am home on a few days during the work week and if it doesn’t interfere with boarding services, I am opening my home to hosting your pup(s) for the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to use a crate for your dog, if that is their routine when left at home. I also have a sunny mud room with a heated floor that can be gated off if your pup needs his or her own space (but they don’t really enjoy a crate) if I leave my home for anything. My yard is completely fenced in. I would not plan to take your dogs off my property without your permission and previous arrangements. My fully fenced in yard has sunny and shady spots and plenty of room for playtime. I sometimes take more than one client at a time if I am familiar with the dogs and feel it would be a good fit. I also check in with my clients to see how they feel about this and ensure everyone is comfortable. My priority is making sure the environment is safe and everyone has fun!

Information Anne B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs before scheduling. My preference is to care for dogs who are dog and cat friendly. They don’t need to love cats, but there cannot be a history of aggression towards them.

A typical day

A typical day would include an early morning breakfast and access to the back yard….playtime and snuggling… Dogs thrive on consistency and predictable routines. Feeding would occur at regular times. Nap time is important and playtime is even more so.

Pet care experience

If your new to Rover please use this promo code for $20 off your first booking! Your Promo Code: ANNEB40813 Your pup will be comfy and safe staying in my pet friendly home with a beautiful fully fenced in yard. I have 30 years of experience living with dogs. My first two dogs were high energy and slightly neurotic (but sweet and loving) Vizslas. I currently share my home with two rescue dogs (Maggie-lab mix and Lulu-chihuahua mix) and a sweet natured and very tolerant kitty. I have fostered dogs for two different rescue groups and have had at least 300 dogs in my home (not all at once)… over the course of four very happy years. You cannot imagine the variety of dogs I’ve cared for. While I loved every minute of the fostering experience (especially the day they successfully met their new family…with a few goodbye tears)…. after two foster failures, I have decided to shift my focus and open my home for boarding through Rover. Your family member will be safe and secure during their stay. I have experience with many types, sizes, temperaments, and ages of dogs (including puppies). In addition to my fostering experience, I have volunteered for the Animal Refuge League walking dogs in the community. My background is in behavioral psychology and of course I’ve taken my own dogs to puppy training. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement. I have learned a lot about how dogs get along; the importance of providing them with their own space when needed, and I have an environment that is conducive to promoting positive interactions between your pet(s) and mine. My priority will be making sure your pet is safe, secure, and happy during their stay!

Thank you Anne for taking such good care of Nahla! She had an amazing time. We also felt so safe and comfortable leaving Nahla with Anne. We got so many pictures and videos. Nahla had an amazing vacation as well. Thank you!

Lottie had a wonderful time with Anne! The house has a great backyard for Lottie to explore and she got along well with the other dogs. Anne is amazing in sending daily updates with lots of pictures. I will certainly go to Anne again for boarding Lottie.

Our pups spent the week being loved and pampered while we were away. Anne provided constant updates and gave us a great peace of mind while we were away! Excellent care!❤️

This was our second weekend with Anne for our 6 month old Kodi. Once again, Anne did a fabulous job and provided plenty of canine pals for our pup to play with. Our pup is a very energetic and determined youngster and Anne handled her extremely well. It was an enormously successful weekend and I highly encourage you to have your pups stay with Anne.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
