Seasoned Sitter -Timid Pets Welcome
Pet care experience
Hi there! Been out of the petsitting game for a while but I'm back! Animals have always been a big part of my life. Currently I have a dog and a cat - both rescues and the loves of my life. My 10yr old heeler, Maya, is very timid around people. Between adopting her and previously working at a vet clinic, I've acquired a great deal of knowledge in handling animals, particularly nervous ones. I've also tended to salt & fresh water fish, guinea pigs, chickens, and much more. Please inquire even if your pets weren't listed. I also water plants for no added fee! Can't forget about the the green family members. 🪴 Enjoy your time away knowing your fur family is safe and comfortable in their known surroundings, being cared for by someone who treats all pets like their own. ❤ I look forward to meeting you! Thanks for your consideration.
Reviews
Annie is a super kind and trustworthy person! She took amazing care of my cat while I was on vacation and I will 10/10 book her again very soon. She visited my house prior to my vacation to understand my expectations and my cats needs, and fully meet them during her visits. I also highly appreciate the updates she gave me!
If you’re looking for someone who is caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile to provide your dogs with the best care possible when you have to be away from them, look no further. Annie is the person to turn to! Annie is the only person we trust to care for our two pups. She makes herself available, even when I’ve given her very little notice. She knows a lot about dogs, which has been great as one of our dogs requires some special attention and medication due to a health issue. She doesn’t bat an eye when we ask her to take care of giving medications to our pup or if we need her to make an extra stop to let our dogs out. Annie also communicates with us via text message after she has completed a visit to let us know how things are going. That peace of mind when we are away is priceless. I highly recommend Annie as the best person to take care of your dogs!
Annie was wonderful! Took good care of the pups, kept us updated, and the place was clean. I would definitely recommend her.
Annie, was absolutely amazing. I contacted her last minute and was a little skeptical about the app but she accommodated us and took amazing care of our doggo. She respected our place, gave us updates and sent photos, and she was prompt with her visits. I would totally use Annie again in the future! Thanks Annie for doing an amazing job with buddy.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I let the pet take the lead as far as how much attention they get. I'm huge on reading body language and building trust at their pace.
Information Annie K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about their temperament. How do they do with strangers? Are they jumpers? Are they a bite risk? I'd also like to know about any health issues. For example - my dog has acute incontinence so while not life threatening, water levels have to be monitored, etc.
A typical day
Exercise is essential for pets! Walks around the neighborhood, fetch in the backyard, chasing a laser pointer, etc are all great ways to get fur babies the energy release they need.

I work full-time M-F but have a pretty flexible schedule. I work on the SW side so lunch break visits are especially easy in that neck of the woods!
