Safety, trust & environment

I am always careful not to let a dog outside without a leash or a fenced yard. I watch each dog closely when they are outside to make sure they don't get into anything dangerous. I am vigilant about potential health issues and will not hesitate to call a vet if needed. I grew up with French Bulldogs, so I am familiar with the unique heat sensitivity of bulldogs and pugs, and am careful to keep them cool on hot days.

Information Anne S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if the dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. I have a hard time with larger dogs who pull on their leashes—I'm pretty small—so if that's the case for your dog, I might not be a fit. I prefer smaller breeds and am experienced with the unique needs of brachycephalic dogs.

A typical day

I will give your dog a day full of snuggles, pets, and love! When I'm dogsitting I tend to put my social life on pause so I can spend as much time as possible with the pet. I do have to attend classes as a graduate student, but am still able to spend lots of time with your dog. And of course they will get all the playtime and walks they need. I understand how important dogs are to their owners and will treat your dog with love and care, and make sure to follow their daily routine.

Experienced sitter and dog lover

Pet care experience

For the past few years I have regularly been a dogsitter for friends and neighbors. My clients regularly tell me that I am extremely caring and go above and beyond. I provide both house sitting services and drop ins! I am attentive to the needs of each dog I sit for and do whatever is needed to make them happy and comfortable!

Anne was great! She took care of my spicy boy and his shy brother. Was able to give medications with no problems. She was very understanding of their needs and communicated very well!

Anne watched our dog overnight and was terrific! We came home to a happy and well-cared for pup. Anne is easy to work with, friendly, and communicates clearly.
