Experienced Pet Care Professional
Pet care experience
I am a pet care professional with a background in care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and I have a decade of experience in the pet care industry, including grooming, training, and in-home pet sitting services. As a certified positive reinforcment dog trainer (CPDT-KA), I have extensive experience with dog behavior, including working with shy or nervous dogs. I'm passionate about providing top-quality care for your pet! I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your pet. A note on my availability: To allow flexibility in planning my schedule, please provide a 2hr window during which you would like visits to take place. Thank you!
Reviews
So grateful to have found Annie. Professional, warm, educated, flexible. I look forward to many happy days going forward!
Annie took great care of our two cats. 😻😻 She did all we have asked for and also sent us pictures of them after each visit with a text hearing that they are well and happy. Our cats know her well now and we will use her services again. Highly recommend Annie 😊🙏
Annie was professional, friendly & flexible in her scheduling. She made our 2 pups very comfortable with her on their first walk together—we’ll definitely use her dog walking services in the future!
Annie did a wonderful job caring for my sweet cat. I truly enjoy all of the information and pics which she sent me about the visit. I would definitely use her again.
About Annie K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always follow client instructions on pet care and environment. This can include feeding and administering medication, or even "house rules" like making sure your pup sits before letting them out to play.
Information Annie K. would like to know about your pet
Prior to booking any services, I would like to do a meet and greet with you and your pets in order to get a feel for their personality and needs. I'm particularly interested in learning what your dog's daily schedule looks like, what activities they enjoy, and if they have any medical needs or behavioral quirks.
A typical day
During visits to your home we will do any activities your dog enjoys. Walks, fetch, tug, cuddling and belly rubs, learning a new trick— it is totally up to you and your pup! Generally, dog walking will be done in your neighborhood, but I also have deluxe walking experiences I offer. I can drive your pup to a local trail to let them exercise in nature. I can also provide long-line walks, which allow your dog 15-30ft of leash to roam instead of a standard 6ft leash, giving your dog more of an "off-leash" sniffari experience while also keeping them safe. This can be a wonderful option for many dogs, especially high energy pups or nervous dogs that benefit from decompressing in nature.
