Pet care experience

Dog Walking & Sitting

Hi, I’m Annette! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter based in Incline Village with a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded approach to care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well-attended to, whether through neighborhood walks, quality time at home, or overnight companionship. I focus on providing a peaceful and structured environment for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am a great fit for dogs who enjoy a relaxed pace and steady routine, though I may not be the best match for those requiring highly intensive outdoor exercise or off-leash adventure outings.

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2025

Annette took fantastic care of my dog, and I would highly recommend her to others! She sent lots of updates while she was housesitting, which really comforted me while I was away. My very shy dog also seemed to really enjoy their time together. She’ll be my first choice of sitters if I go out of town again.

Annette was so lovely to work with and she took such great care of our dog. She was communicative with me and patient and kind with our pup. Would love to work with her again!

Annette is highly professional, and I could not be more thankful to have her to watch my kitty. Annette stepped up very last minute, and I knew immediately that she would be the perfect sitter. She was excellent with communication, very caring and loving, and I felt completely comfortable having her stay in my home. My heart was warmed with updates and photos of Del while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Annette to other pet parents.

Schedule

Being based in Incline Village with a flexible consulting schedule means I can get to most local neighborhoods quickly for drop-ins or walks This allows me to be highly responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a last-minute drop-in or staying at your home to keep your pet company during the day. Since I set my own hours, your pet’s routine becomes my priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are family members who deserve the same respect and care as any other resident. In a client’s home, my priority is maintaining the 'status quo' to minimize stress. I start by learning your pet’s specific cues, favorite hiding spots, and unique quirks. Whether it’s following a precise feeding ritual or ensuring the exact level of evening companionship they are used to, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost integrity. I am naturally observant and communicative, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos that capture your pet’s true comfort level.

A typical day

I focus on 'quality over intensity.' A typical day involves structured potty breaks and neighborhood strolls tailored to your pet's energy level. Between walks, I provide mental engagement—think puzzle toys for dogs or interactive play for cats—to keep them sharp and happy. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to offer frequent 'check-ins' throughout the day, ensuring the water bowl is fresh, the litter box is tidy, and your pet feels like they have a friend nearby. We’ll end our day with some relaxing 'den time' or couch snuggles, keeping the environment peaceful and predictable.

To provide the best possible care, I’d love to know about your pet’s unique personality and 'house rules.' Please share any specific medical needs, dietary restrictions, or medication schedules. It’s also helpful to know how they react to other animals on walks, their comfort level with being left alone, and any specific quirks or fears (like loud noises or certain grooming habits). Understanding their daily rhythm helps me maintain the consistency they need to feel safe.
