As always, Annette is awesome. She cares for my elderly dogs with so much love and patience. They love staying with her when I’m away. And to boot, Annette is just the loveliest person in the world!

Annette is one of the most caring dogsitters I have ever encountered. Her pup, Rain, is also a gem and they were so good to my two little, elderly dogs. They were extremely well cared for and it was great to have that piece of mind while I was away from them. I know Max and Sunny look forward to their next stay with Annette!

Oh my God, you guys, Annette is, like, the ultimate dog whisperer. Seriously. My beagle, Frances? Total nervous wreck. Think, like, first date-level anxiety but all the time. He’s super sensitive, super picky, and not exactly what you’d call “a people person.” But Annette? She walks in, and suddenly, it’s like she’s some kind of dog goddess. She didn’t force anything. She gave him space, let him come to her, and honestly, I think she has, like, psychic powers or something, because she just knew what he needed before he even did. And let me tell you, Frances does not warm up to people easily. But now? He actually gets excited to see her. Excited! So, if you want someone who will treat your dog like the VIP they are and let’s be real, they totally deserve it, Annette is your girl. THANKS ANNETTE!

You must know this: Annette is the real deal. My dog, Otto—absolute unit of a pup, bit of a drama queen, usually doesn’t trust anyone outside the immediate food supply chain (me). But Annette? The moment she walked in, he looked at her like she was the second coming of steak night. She didn’t just “watch” Otto. She got him. She knew when he needed space, when he needed belly rubs, and when he was about to pull one of his signature fake-limp stunts for extra attention. And the way she handled him? Like she was born to do it. Firm when needed, soft when it mattered, and always one step ahead of his nonsense. By the time I picked him up, Otto was in peak mood. Happy, relaxed, probably plotting how to replace me with Annette full-time. If you want someone who treats your dog like the absolute king they think they are, book Annette.

Oh, Annette? She’s basically a guardian angel in sensible shoes. I trusted her with my 14-year-old Chihuahua, Mariana—who, let’s be honest, is more delicate than a Victorian ghost—and my 3-year-old dachshund, Salvatore, who thinks he’s the king of the world. And Annette? She handled both of them like a pro. She carried Mariana with this careful grace, like she was cradling a rare artifact, using one of those dog-sling carriers everywhere, because of course she thought about Mariana’s comfort before anything else. And Salvatore? The little menace lights up every time he sees Annette, tail wagging so hard I half expect him to take flight. It’s not just that she’s responsible—she genuinely gets dogs. They love her. They trust her. And honestly, if they could, they’d probably leave me for her. :) Book Annette before she becomes too exclusive. Salvatore and Mariana approved this message!

Annette is an absolute gem! Salvatore is our nearly four-year-old Dachshund with plenty of leftover puppy energy. Since my husband and I both work from home (and have since we adopted Salva), he’s used to having us around 24/7. Leaving him with a sitter while we traveled for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Annette made the entire experience effortless. From the moment we dropped him off, she showered him with love and attention, and he immediately took to her and her sweet puppy, Rain. She sent us daily photos and videos of him living his best life—playing at the park, chasing toys, or wrapped in a blanket, napping on her lap (his favorite thing in the world). When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and completely at ease, which meant everything to us. Annette treated him (and us!) like family, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
