Genuine Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I am a genuine animal lover! I have owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, fish and frogs for my entire life! My husband, daughters and I have been the lucky owners of 2 beautiful Golden Retrievers that have truly become a part of our family. Unfortunately our 2nd Golden Retriever passed away in March of 2020. I faithfully walked my Golden’s everyday for an hour or more. We kept each other in shape, and kept each other company! I am a devoted mom to two busy daughters now in college! I am looking for some furry friends to share my unconditional love of animals with! My schedule is currently very flexible. My family and I have moved several times, having lived in five different states over the past 27 years. My experience comes from not only being a devoted dog owner myself, but from pet sitting for endless friends, neighbors, and family members. I have been asked to care for many animals while their owners travel, or to walk and care for their dogs while they are at work. My family and I have also volunteered at several animal rescue facilities. I love animals and believe they are what makes a house a home! I would absolutely love to meet you and your special pets someday soon!

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!

Annette was awesome with our kitty. He really enjoys her company and she takes very good care of him during her drop in appointments.
