Animals are my favorite people
Pet care experience
I grew up with pets, and have always been drawn to animals. Did some pet sitting in my teens, as well as babysitting and some house sitting. Got my first pet (a gray tabby) as an adult with kids in 1999, and the love has just grown from there. My daughter started pet sitting for friends and neighbors as a child and I would go along and help or go by myself if she had soccer or something else unavoidable. Was recommended to a neighbor who had a new poodle puppy and I took care of him for about 8 months. He was so cute! Right now, my husband and I have a dog, four cats, and the world’s oldest leopard gecko 🥰
Reviews
The best. So glad I found her.
Anne is wonderful. Did exactly what we asked and took great care of Chester.
Anne is awesome !!!
Anne is absolutely wonderful! She took care of our cat while we were traveling for 3 weeks. She was just outstanding. Our cat is very skittish and she was so gentle and attentive that the cat was just fine getting pets and hanging out with her! We would use Anne in the future for sure!

We have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog (albeit aloof at times - she’s an Australian Shepherd, they’re like that), so friendly dogs would be welcome in our yard. The four cats inside might be another issue, so unless the pup is super cat friendly, bringing them inside may not work. But I can come to your house!
Information Anne D. would like to know about your pet
Of course let me know if your pet has any special needs or circumstances that need to be avoided, and how they react to people, esp children, and other dogs and animals in general. I honestly don’t have a lot of experience with aggressive dogs and dogs that may need a muzzle in public, that kind of thing, or extraordinarily large dogs, but am willing to learn!
A typical day
I just love to love on animals. I talk to my pets allll the time and they each have voices when they “answer back”! I will love to snuggle and even brush your babies, play with toys or run around the yard if applicable. As well as walks of course. I love walking in the Swarthmore College woods, or just around friendly neighborhoods.

Availability
I am self employed, an outside contractor, so my schedule isn’t completely flexible, but I usually have advanced notice as to when I’ll be needed, as well as the flexibility to decline the work if need be. Covid has seriously reduced the amount of work available to me, so now I have plenty of time most days. And even if my calendar says I’m unavailable on a particular day, it may only be a block of 3 or 4 hours that I’m truly unavailable, but I’m around the rest of day, so don’t hesitate to ask! As far as house sitting, I have my own home with four cats and a dog, so I may not be the MOST available, but I didn’t want to completely rule it out. Would be considered on an individual basis. Thanks!
