Safety, trust & environment

I am a mature and responsible woman, who will treat your pets with love and your home with complete respect. I work well with detailed instructions regarding diet, exercise, safety, and special needs. I’m experienced in handling large dogs safely, and maintaining order among multiple animals.

Information Annette J. would like to know about your pet

Please share with me your dog’s routine in the following areas: detailed diet and feeding schedule, medication, exercise routine, favorite activities, any fears or anxieties, and training maintenance.

A typical day

It’s all about exercise, mental stimulation, and the exchange of love. I’m a highly active person physically, and I love to play and exercise with dogs, including walking, running, playing ball and fetch, and hide and seek. I enjoy training exercises to maintain your pets skills and to encourage good manners. I believe in puzzles, such as hiding treats or toys somewhere complex. Finally, lots of petting and cuddling. I am happy to have your dog sleep on my bed, if this conforms with your practices.

Annette did a wonderful job watching our 11 year old Pomchi. She was very kind, responsive and sent us photos while we were away which we appreciated. I would definitely book again. Thanks Annette!
