Personal, Fun, Consistent Petcare
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!
Reviews
Anne took fantastic care of our cat while we were away for the weekend - she sent pics and communicated after her visits too which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Love Anne!!! She is always so understanding and constantly helps us when we are in a bind. Amazing dog walker and is so understanding of changes in plans!
Anne was great! Super communicative and took great care of our cat Eddie while we were away!
Knowing you're checking on our house gives us peace of mind. Thank you!

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.
