Pet care experience
Gas discount: if you are within 1 mile of my house, I will drop the price to 19 plus rover fee. 2 miles or less, $25. On Rover I worked with my mother Barbara B. As I slowly took over the physical and we had gained 276 5-star reviews. I loved Mom's business and all our wonderful clients who followed me to my page after her passing. I have since moved for my husband. While the reviews I added from our page along with my current reviews speak for themselves, I will still transfer the qualifications as previously written. Experience in types and Policy's below. CAT Experience: We had two cats as I grew up and loved them so much, that I worked hard to keep them going as they were slowing down and only stopped having them because it hurt to replace them. When me and my mother went into fostering, it seemed a less fun environment for them so I jumped at the chance to watch a cat again and have been spoiling other people's cats ever since. Should be mentioned I get a minimum half of the super shy cats to come around. DOG Experience: My mother and I have had dogs since I was 11. We have an affinity for all kinds of animals and we fostered pregnant mothers and raising the puppies for 3 years. Little dogs tend to trust me and I rather enjoy their company. Quote: "As for my daughter, we have had such success in fostering that I learned of her skills in putting even nervous animals at ease and dedication that has led to keeping even the largest litters not only alive but viable for adoption. Because of this I have started this business with her assistance for the family and for her great love of animals years ago." I'm a big cuddler, happily serve any approved treats and enjoy fetch/tug of war with a pup. I have two dogs that are social, so if your dog needs companionship on walks, do let me know and I'll bring one or both along depending on your pets preferences. Other pet experience: Had Beta fish growing up, a preying Mantis in my backyard that was loyal, bred hamsters and had a mouse/snake who were buddies. Cared for a pet rabbits on and off Rover, and have been around ferrets. Two of my clients had turtles. I've officially cared for two birds. Also one gig had me handing peanuts to squirrels. General Loved and cared for animals since childhood. I like to do the little extra touches so clients, both human and animal feel special and adore both. What a pet, missing their owner needs, is a feeling of home, I specialize in creating that as reviews and pictures/videos will explain. I do YouTube so you will be getting a music video if you book 3 days or more. I do like to tidy up after pets so if that's agreeable, knowing where the broom is or vacuum is always helpful as well as cleaning supplies. In the end your pet will get a lot of patience and specialized attention. It's just about speaking their language. And yes, that means I handle challenging pets with patience. Policy: Meet and greets are preferable but I will understand if impossible for last minute clients.
Reviews
Annie was quite the life saver! She came to watch my dogs over night last minute, and took such great care of them! She is knowledgeable and professional! Highly recommend!
Took good care of our boys at a time when we really needed it. Thanks Annie!
Annie did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. She is 100% reliable and was very flexible as our travel plans changed. Even as our return flight was delayed several hours, I reached out to Annie to tack on another visit and she was on it within minutes. It was nice to know that our dog was being taken care of so well while we were gone.
She's so good with our kitties! We use her services every time. ??

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm detail oriented and take thorough notes as the routine and clients wishes matter greatly. I coax out shy pets, am surprisingly patient with agressive ones and tend to spoil the needy ones where permitted while giving aloof one however much space they prefer.
Information Annie (Ann) S. would like to know about your pet
Temperament, what they respond to and the best way to stay in touch for any needs their pet may have once I'm there. I have a full list and I'm quite thorough about it.
A typical day
Depends on the type of visit and animal but generally it's, check on how the little guy is/reassuring where needed, general duties like walks for dogs, litter for cats, food etc. Then the rest is playing, cuddling or whatever makes the pet and pets family happiest.

I am currently working in food prep as well. It does mean I can't take everyone as the hours change, and at crumbl I can't check my phone but will do my best to accommodate.
