Pet care experience

Annie D, <250 dogs walked

Hi! My name is Annie, I am a 27 year old living in connecticut and have extensive dog care experience. Through the Wag! app I walked over 250 dogs and had an average rating of 5 stars and many repeat clients - I started this during college when I was living in New Haven and continued through moving up to Hartford afterwards! I would like to extend my services, experience, and love for pups through this website/app with a better platform and communication abilities to provide excellent dog care that goes above and beyond your expectations! I can do walks and have a very flexible schedule, usually working for short shifts on the weekends. I've dealt with distracted puppies, laxidaisical seniors, and the slobbery, talkative, or chewy in between. Please contact me with any questions :-)

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home I have a fence, baby gates for any areas they can’t go (usually agreed upon after meet&greet) and love to give out treats if there are no medical issues that change diet! I prefer drop ins and sitting and love to adapt to your dogs schedule and playtime :) if they get their walkies daily we can do that, or playtime if you’ve got a sweet fenced in situation! Upon meeting up with people I love getting a feel for their dogs level of need & what they love about their home so I can keep that up for you while you need it.

Annie took incredible care of my two dogs and my house while I was away on vacation and I could not ask for a better sitter! My dogs are both seniors on daily medication, anxious barkers, and attached to me at the hip on their daily routine… but I think they were a little disappointed when I came home and it wasn’t Annie walking through the door! I received updates and pictures while I was away which helped me relax and know everything was going well while I was gone. I truly cannot recommend her enough and will definitely rebook!

Annie took great care of our pup! She was very accessible and sent regular updates throughout the weekend. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would definitely hire Annie again!

She is the best. Otis loves her. She stayed here and you would never know. Neat as a pin. Dog happy and appropriately exhausted. Thanks Annie!

We are happy we left our pal with Annie D, who helped make our vacation wonderful because we didn’t have to worry about our pup. There were a few curveballs, like travel delays on our end, and Annie went above and beyond to care for our dog. She gave him tons of playtime and even more snuggles. The pics she sent multiple times every day made us smile and reassured us that our boy was in good hands. We loved reading her morning and evening recaps. He looked so happy and well-exercised! We certainly will be using Annie in the future and highly recommend her for housesitting and dog sitting. We returned to a nice, clean house and a very happy doggie. Annie D is the best!

Annie was excellent with our Lilly. She sent photos & updates routinely. It was a comfort to know our sweet Lilly was in good hands. Would definitely hire Annie again.

I have no breed preferences but would definitely love a description of your furry friend! Mainly how they interact with people they don't know, if they have experience being walked and what triggers they have to be aware of. High energy, low energy, nervous and specifically peeved by mailmen or squirrels? Lemme know!
