Availability
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely look forward to every day. After several years of caring for pets, I've built my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care. Because I have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so long walks and active play are always welcome, while quieter pets receive the patience, companionship, and gentle care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners complete peace of mind.

Information Annette D. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about your pet, the better I can make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy! During our Meet and Greet, I'd love to learn about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys and treats, exercise preferences, medications, allergies, fears, and any behaviors you'd like me to be aware of. I appreciate knowing what comforts them, what they're not allowed to do, and any special commands or routines they know. I also love learning your pet's favorite scratch spot, nickname, or silly little quirks! it's those little details that help us become friends! Every pet is unique, and my goal is to provide care that's as close as possible to what they're used to. The more details you share, the better I can give your furry family member the personalized love and attention they deserve.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I love tailoring our time together to what makes them happiest! Whether it's a leisurely sniff walk, an energetic game of fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, chasing favorite toys, or simply relaxing with belly rubs and cuddles, I'm all in. If your dog enjoys adventures and you approve, I'd be happy to take them on longer walks or local hiking trails for some extra exercise and fresh air. I also love brushing pets, giving gentle massages, practicing basic commands, and providing plenty of praise and affection. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I enjoy puzzle toys, treat games, and interactive play to keep pets happy and engaged. Cats have a special place in my heart, too! Whether your cat loves chasing feather wands, batting around toy mice, bird watching from a sunny window, or simply curling up for quiet companionship, I'll happily meet them where they are. Even many shy or timid cats have become comfortable with me after just a visit or two, and I always let them build trust at their own pace.

Experienced, Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm so glad you're here! I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Throughout my life, I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, and even frogs! Pets have always been a cherished part of my family, and I truly can't imagine life without them. My husband, daughters, and I were blessed to share our lives with two wonderful Golden Retrievers who were much more than pets, they were beloved family members. They taught us so much about unconditional love, loyalty, and the joy that dogs bring into our lives. I faithfully walked them every day for an hour or more, and those walks became some of my favorite moments. Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of caring for so many wonderful pets! From energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, and many precious kitties, I've provided daily walks, drop-in visits, vacation care, overnight stays, medication administration, and plenty of love and companionship. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My goal is always to give pet parents complete peace of mind by treating every furry friend as if they were a cherished member of my own family. I'm also experienced with puppies, who need patience, consistency, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs, who deserve gentle care, extra attention, and a slower pace. I'm happy to adapt to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and leisurely walks, you can count on me to provide dependable, loving care and plenty of affection. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect plenty of updates, photos, and videos throughout my visits. I want you to feel like you're right there with your pet, even when you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's hands, and I would be honored to care for yours. I look forward to meeting you, and giving your special companion all the love, attention, and belly rubs they deserve!
Reviews
I was so nervous to leave my cats for a week for the first time but thank goodness Annette was here to watch them. My cats loved her! She was so good with them for the hour a day she was there. Would recommend to anyone.
We love having Annette watch our Jinxy. She always takes great care of him and gives him lots of attention.
Great sitter, goes the extra mile.
We couldn’t recommend Annette more highly! She took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and comfortable. Even when they were shy to come out, she patiently spent time with them and earned their trust. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in Annette’s caring hands. We will absolutely book with her again!
