Information Anne D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any quirks or behavioral traits that are important to know in order to have a successful visit or walk with your pup.

A typical day

Walks can be long (1-2 hrs) or short (15-30 mins). I prefer to walk around parks and green spaces with lots of grass and trees. Dog park visits are an option if requested and/or allowed.

Pet care experience

I'm an active gal who loves the companionship of a pooch while out and about. I love taking dogs on long walks or hikes through the woods or just down the city blocks for a quick leg stretch (and a bathroom stop). I'll be attentive to the needs of your dog, making sure they get plenty of activity, are well hydrated, and fed appropriately. While I don't have a dog of my own currently, I was a dog walker when I lived in New York City and I volunteered for two years with Border Paws Rescue in Rapid City caring for 5 - 10 pups for their pre-bedtime outings. I'm comfortable working with and providing a safe environment for the most goofy and social as well as the most solo and independent pups. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs you and your pup may have. I'm prompt and reliable. I hope to meet you and your pup soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, professional, and genuinely good with animals Annie took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Punctual, communicative, compassionate and easy to coordinate with — no surprises, no last-minute scrambling. One of our cats is older and pretty cranky, hisses at most people who come near her. Rather than forcing interaction, she paid attention to her moods and gave her space when needed, attention when welcomed. By the time we got back, that cat seemed more at ease than usual, which says a lot. The other cat who has an entirely different personality was equally cared for too! Everyone seemed settled and content when we got home. She clearly knows how to read animals rather than just going through the motions. I would ABSOLUTELY book her again without hesitation.
