Hello, I am Annette. Thank you for reading my profile. I have been with Rover since 2018 and have never cancelled a pet care request. I treat the care of your home and pets with attention and professionalism. I am a pet person and enjoy all kinds of animals, I love what I do. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, chickens, horses and snakes. I believe leaving your 4 legged family member in his/her home is better than boarding. I will care for your pet as you do. I will adhere to your preferences in routine, behavior, food and exercise. I haven't met a pet I didn't enjoy spending time with. I will send pictures and updates at least twice a day, sometimes more. You are on vacation so I don't expect a response, I just want you to enjoy the moments of the day I spent with your pet. I have a small footprint in any home I stay in. I am a tidy person that keeps a clean home. I will clean all areas I have been in hours before the homeowners return. I will also launder all linens used, one less thing for you to tackle once home. I am a home owner. I am a terrible repair person but I know how to turn off the water main and address home emergencies. I grew up with a St Bernard as part of our family. All the children in my family learned how to show dogs so we could handle the dog instead of him handling us. LOL I am a firm believer that calm interaction, frequent praise, exercise and lots of love is the best approach with any animal. If allowed, I will take your dog on daily walks to different locations so neither of us gets bored. I have a multi lead leash that I use when walking multiple dogs. If your dog likes car rides I will take them with me on any errands/visits that are dog friendly (I would not leave them in the car unattended). If it is too hot to walk your dog I have several indoor games for mental and physical activity. Senior, puppy and special needs pets are welcome. I love them all. Please contact me with any questions. Annette
