Pet care experience
Gentle Care for Shy Pets 💜🐾
Hi, I’m Annette! A lifelong animal lover and devoted pet mom to my dog Rosie and two cats, Mia and Dune. I specialize in caring for pets who are shy, sensitive, or just need a little extra reassurance while their people are away. My approach is calm, patient, and consistent, building trust through gentle greetings, slow introductions, and plenty of praise once they’re comfortable. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your pet gets my full attention. I send photo updates, track routines carefully, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Clients appreciate that I go the extra mile; bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping everything feeling “just right” when you return. Based in Plainville, I serve nearby towns like Farmington, Southington, and Bristol. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or last-minute requests. Let’s schedule a meet & greet so your furry one can get to know me and I can get to know what makes them happiest. 🐾💛

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Annette S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Very informative and on point. Highly recommend.
Annette was so wonderful with our rambunctious English Bulldog. She took the time to understand her needs and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Gertrude can’t wait to see her again!
Annette has watched my cats many times over the years and has been a reliable pet setter for the 3 of them. She was even able to get my very scared cat (Scared of everyone except me) to play with the wand after only a few days. She kindly sent me photos each time she stopped by which really helped put my mind at ease. Overall I will always recommend Annette as she is great with all animals. Thanks!
Annette is the perfect person to trust with your pet(s). She cares so much for all pets and treats them with such care. I would choose her anytime I need someone to watch my pets. You never have to worry with her!

Schedule
Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule. I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my workday to meet their needs and keep them happy and comfortable.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medications, or preferred playtime rituals. I also keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and loved while you’re away
Pets
A typical day
When I pet sit, I provide personalized, attentive care based on your pet’s routine and personality. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter cleaning, walks (for dogs), playtime, cuddles (if they’re into it), and plenty of companionship. I also keep an eye on their behavior and well-being, give updates to you as often as you’d like, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
