Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient and confident pet care
Owner of a senior (12 year old) “shy” rescue dog, and advocate for consent-based care. Patient, consistent, and confident with dogs of all size and age. Familiar with dog body language and behavior. ‘B’ level volunteer at Mackenzie’s Animal Sanctuary. 6+ years experience with shy/anxious dogs, leash/gate/door manners, desensitization, muzzle, and crate training.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I work to build animal relationships based on trust, leadership, and consistency. I wait for animals to ask for attention, give them time/space to make choices, investigate new things, and use positive reinforcement to promote good/responsive behavior.
Ratings and reviews
Anne did great with both our boys. They can be a lot to handle. Each reactive in their own ways, but Anne was well equipped to handle them.

Anne is an unmatched pet parent and dedicated caregiver! I've known her for 25 years, and am so grateful to call her a friend. Anne has immense experience as a dog mom, and petsat for me for a week when I was out of town, and provided excellent care to my birds, reptiles, and fish.
Anne has spent a large amount of time learning how to handle dogs in a respectful and safe way. She volunteers at a rescue for high risk dogs and owns one from the rescue as well. She has spent countless hours learning to read the dogs body language, training, and loving all of them in their different ways. I think she would make a great person for this kind of job!
