Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher on Break Who Loves Animals
I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were at work or away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with each pet through patience, attention, and consistency. As a longtime educator and instructional coach with over 20 years of experience, I’m dependable, organized, calm under pressure, and great at reading behavior and routines. I’m especially attentive to safety, communication, and making both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. Because my partner and two children are allergic to animals, pet sitting and dog walking gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals I love while helping families who need reliable care. Since I’m currently off for the summer from teaching, I also have a very flexible schedule and availability for walks, check-ins, daytime care, and extended visits.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for pets is very important to me. With over 20 years of experience as an educator, I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and highly responsible. I carefully follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any special care requests. Whether caring for pets in a client’s home or during walks, I make sure animals feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and safety at all times, and I communicate regularly with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Anne took excellent care of our dog while we were out do town for two weeks. She communicated regularly, gave us lots of updates and photos, and most importantly she cared deeply that our dog was cared for and loved while we were gone!
Anne was so great! She was on time and dependable. Truly treated our dog as her own and made him feel at home. We will definitely rebook Anne again and would recommend her in a second.
Anne is incredibly dependable, caring, and attentive with animals. She is responsible, trustworthy, and has a natural way of making pets feel safe and comfortable. She is thoughtful, communicative, and always goes above and beyond to make sure pets are well cared for and loved. Anyone would be lucky to have Anne care for their furry family member — I would trust her completely with my own pet.
Anne is a responsible, compassionate, and fun caretaker! She is wonderful with communication and always makes sure my pet has what they need. I trust her completely!
I have a VERY temperamental dog and Anne was so kind and patient with her. She showed up on time, is easy to communicate with and now my dog thinks they are best friends. We’re keeping her in mind for when we go out of town!

Schedule
As a former teacher currently off for the summer and now working part-time, I have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, as well as weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I love building pet care into my daily routine and making sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency while their owners are away.
