Fur babies are the best!! 🐶🐱🐰
Pet care experience
I have owned cats my entire life and our family currently have 6 cats (2 are my daughter’s). We have a Miniature Australian Shepard named Rooney! In the past our family had a Brittany Spaniel named Sydney and a Maltese named Jeter. They have all taught me something different, not to mention that just when you think you KNOW everything about animals, you learn something new! 🤣🐾 When it comes to experience, I have my 18-year old daughter to thank for introducing me to the pet care field and helping to grow my experience with farm animals (horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, and the occasional stray barn cat🥰🐾) as well as cats and dogs. Going along with Emma made me realize that this is something I want to do all of the time! So whether you have cats, dogs, caged animals/reptiles, or more, I’d love to help take care of them while you are away. Giving you peace of mind while making your pets feel safe and loved is my number one priority. I take pride in being a kind, honest, and trustworthy adult that would love to earn the loyalty of your commitment as one of your regular pet sitters. Your pets are as important to me as they are to you while you are away. I will check, recheck and then check again to make certain every step has been followed to ensure that your loved ones are well cared for, while looking out for anything that might be “off”. You can’t be too careful and sometimes an animals’ “signs” for need or distress can be quite subtle. So I never just pop in and out, but rather I facilitate well-visits! That means carefully following your detailed instructions and care notes. I always welcome as much input from you, along with a Meet and Greet prior to caring for your fur babies, so you can introduce us, help create trust, and provide me with the important details of your day-to-day routine. This helps me to best provide routine and structure (mixed with lots of spoiling and extra treats) for your little ones. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🥰🐾💝
Reviews
We absolutely love Annelie! She is so great with our kitties and gives them the best care - she is amazing 🤩
Annelie is awesome! Our dog loves her, and it gives us peace of mind that he is in good hands, loved and taken well care of. Thank you Annelie, you are the best!
Annelie is absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my kitties and sent me the best updates and pictures while I was on vacation. I 100% recommend her and will absolutely be requesting her for all my future trips! 😊❤️
Annelie was great! She went above and beyond taking care of my antisocial little cat. Everything was so tidy when I returned and even though my Finley refused to come say hello, I know she was very happy to be fed and taken care of while we were gone. Can't recommend Annelie enough and will definitely request her next time!

I am a rule-follower and will use your detailed directions to take care of your fur/feather/hair babies just as you describe! It’s my main goal to make your pets feel safe, loved and cared for while giving you peace of mind so your absence is a treat for both of you! 🎉🧁🍭🦴🍖
Information Annelie S. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs, this is important to know ahead of time. Your pet might have certain things that it loves (i.e. scratches behind the ear) and things it absolutely does not like (i.e. being picked up) that would be good to have written down. Anything that will help me to give your pet the attention he/she needs to feel safe.
A typical day
I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t love walks, as long as they are at his or her pace. For drop-ins, I will play fetch with the dogs that like it, but then take breaks where we “go for a walk” around your property. I find that with multiple dogs you always have at least one that doesn’t fetch, so we mix in walks to make it fair for all. For cats, I love using cat toys and a laser light! They go crazy for this (even dogs get a kick out of this)! Some owners have cat nip that they will let me know about.Most cats that like to come out and be seen enjoy just getting love, scratches and even belly rubs. They lead the way, and I follow. I enjoy spending one-on-one time with animals and prefer spending time outside, but inside is equally fine if that’s what your pet prefers. Typically, we will spend our time outside (weather permitting) but I go where they go. I don’t “let dogs out” to go to the bathroom. I go with them. So even when I’m just watching them do their business, I know what they’re doing, they are not alone, and I’m able to talk to them and hopefully make the time that I’m away go faster! You are paying me to BE WITH YOUR BABES!

Availability
I work full time as a teacher and tutor during the week, but Friday evening and weekends are wide open for helping you take a weekend getaway or enjoying an all-day getaway without your fur baby being left alone. I know how hard it is for me to leave my pets. The few trips I’ve taken were only possible because of caring neighbors that watched our cats/dog and sent lots of pictures for reassurance! ❤️
