Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure that your dog is walked on a safe route, where they get to exercise, relieve themself and have plenty of time for sniffing. For in home dog and cat visits- there will be time for play, pets and treats (if permissible by owner.)

Information Anne W. would like to know about your pet

It's important to be aware ahead of time if the pet has any medication needs, any behavioral issues and anything that would factor in to the safety and comfort of the pet on the walk or on the visit. For kitties, if there are multiple cats or other pets, it's good to know if any of the pets are quarantined from the other pets-because of stress or sickness.

A typical day

Once I get to know the new pet client I try to take cues from them as much as possible! For the doggies we usually learn a few routes and then I let them choose which one they like. Some clients want a high energy pace while others like to take lots of time for sniffing. For the kitties I take the same approach. I learn what they like! If they like a lot of play or have a favorite toy or if they just want pets or to sit together. Some kitties are not in the mood for socializing as well and I just let them have their space if that's what they are comfortable with.

Pet care experience

Making friends with and caring for dogs and kitties almost everyday for the past nine years has been a fun huge blessing! Learning where they like to walk, their favorite toys and their unique personalities has made this job enriching and enjoyable. I've also loved getting to know my cat and dog clients parents!

I am so grateful for the extra level of care you provide my girls. To know I can travel for work like I do and have the peace of mind knowing the excellent care they are receiving is priceless. Thank you for everything you do.

Anne was amazing to work with for dog walking! She was super flexible and understanding when we had unexpected schedule changes, and she was awesome with our pup sending updates after every walk!!
