Pet care experience

Hello Pet Owners and Lovers! My name is Annie and I am here to help you care for your wonderful fur baby while you are away. Our homes are not complete without our loving animal companions, and I know the amount of work and dedication that goes into making sure your furry friend is cared for. I have cared for animals my entire life, since I was a little girl. I have raised and trained 3 of my own dogs since they were puppies, and with that have enriched their lives with walking, running and general care. Walking with my pups is one of my favorite activities, and dogs need the enriching exercise that is walking even when we are away at work. I love to volunteer my free time to the local animal shelter and walk/run with dogs that are awaiting to be adopted into their forever homes - so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds! small, large, old, young, over excited, mellow mannered, you name it. I am also very dedicated to my own education on dog behavior and training, and have been working with my pups on a variety of training skills that have allowed me to grow into a responsible dog handler. My senior dog just became Canine Good Citizen Certified! I use the positive reinforcement tactics that I have learned in dog training with all of the dogs I work with to create a bond with the animal I am caring for. Our family has used dog walkers and caregivers in the past while away at work or out on vacation, I will treat your baby as I would my own because that is what they (and you!) deserve.

Anne is an incredible pet lover. She treats all pets like they are people and gives them all of her attention and care. She is responsible and hard working. As a nurse she is well versed in human health needs which carries over to her ability to care for pets. Anne has spent a great deal of time training her own two dogs and they are two of the most well behaved animals I have seen in a very long time. I have had Anne watch my pet on a number of occasions and been very pleased with the care that they got. They looked very happy upon our return.

I've had Anne cat sit for me twice now and usually I get a stern talking to from my cat when I get home, because I've left him. However, with Anne, I can tell she spent time with him and gave him the love that he needs. I plan to use Anne's services in the future and I highly recommend her. She's just the best! She even helped with watering my plants and garden on my longer trip!!!!

Annie is 100% the most devoted, caring, and loving dog mom out there and she would be a great addition to your network of walkers. She is very active and patient and will treat every dog like her own. Anne has experience with foster dogs, shelters, and caring for friends and family pets (including mine) - I can always count on her to do a great job and never have to worry about her when she is watching my dogs. I have used some amazing Rover walkers over the years and Anne would fit the bill. 10/10 would recommend Anne to work at Rover!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide enrichment activities for dogs and cats to stay busy, safe and engaged. Depending on your dog's age, I am comfortable with assisting in crate training, loose leash walking training and if you have a dog that likes to run...even better! I am a runner myself and would enjoy running with your dog.

Information Anne O. would like to know about your pet

How do your dogs greet and react to strangers? How do your dogs react to other animals and dogs while on a walk? Does your dog not like to be touched anywhere, and if so, where? Does your dog have any food allergies or dietary restrictions?

A typical day

Have a dog that needs to run? Well! Look no further, I love running with my own pup and the dogs at the animal shelter to provide them with the exercise enrichment they need. I will happily take your dog on a run with me if that is something you are looking for.
