Licensed Vet Tech, animal advocate
Pet care experience
I was born and raised with dogs, and animals continue to be a huge part of my life. I have an associates degree in veterinary technology, and am a licensed veterinary technician. I have fostered senior and special needs dogs, volunteered with shelters and rescues, and spent years working in a busy shelter/clinic in NYC. I also have a great love and respect for birds, having fostered many pigeons and doves through my former job at a wildlife center. I have extensive experience with feeding, caring for and medicating several species of animals, but my original and enduring love of dogs and cats is at the heart of what keeps me working in this field. I believe that each animal is an individual who is deserving of love, respect and consideration, and improving the lives of all creatures is my mission!
Reviews
Annie was amazing with our cat Moxie. It was our first time leaving him after some medical issues and we were so anxious, but she was so communicative, responsible, and our cat was obsessed with her. It made our week away feel so much easier knowing Moxie was in her hands. We will definitely work with Annie again.
Annie is dependable and just wonderful with Delilah - loving, playful and attentive. We feel very lucky to have her available to us!
Annie does above and beyond with Delilah - and did so again today. I really appreciate the personal attention and care she provides.
Annie was terrific! Our cats loved her. We look forward to Annie caring for them again.

Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats and two birds of my own, so any boarding in my apartment would be subject to a meet and greet, to see that everyone will get along.
Home
Information Annie G. would like to know about your pet
I'm quite accustomed to working with quirky dogs, and I know and expect that each dog may have his or her own preferences and behavioral tics. Please feel free to let me know any little preferences or aversions your pet may have, and I'll be happy to accommodate! I know from fostering and working in a shelter environment that each animal has their own personality and comfort level.
A typical day
I like to approach each pet as an individual. I live near the ocean and there are tons of walking trails nearby. I often like to visit Willard Beach during dog friendly hours. I love to walk and be active, and look forward to taking your dog along for adventures!
