Safety, trust & environment

Wherever I visit, my priority is the pets' comfort - making sure their home feels familiar and safe. A new person in their space can be scary or way too exciting! I will always come to fit into your home and your pet's expectations, not the other way around. I will follow your morning/evening routine, meals, walks, and note any training routines/words, pet-related spots around the home, and what to do during thunderstorms or holiday fireworks. On top of taking care of your pet, I always try to take care of the home as well, so any mail, packages, or plants will be taken care of according to your instructions, so the home is how you left it when you return!

Information Annie R. would like to know about your pet

Has your dog ever bitten anyone or have been aggressive? Is your dog friendly with children, other people, or other dogs? Are they scared of anything? Any food sensitivities?

A typical day

For dog walks, I can find exciting paths or parks, or follow your route, making sure to note favorite spots or spots to avoid. I can also do indoor play if it's too hot or cold, using favorite toys or other creative play like sniffing for treats or training new tricks! Pictures and videos and any other details will always be provided during and afterwards.

Happy and Active for Pups and Cats

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Annie, excited to start working with your furry family! I grew up with our family dog who lived until 20yrs old, and currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs with my fiancée, all raised/trained myself and classes! Some might say I love animals more than humans - I’ve pet sat and lived with multiple animals through my life and always love to meet more! I come with a good balance of gentle comfort and hyperactive excitement for taking care of your dogs - responding to their energy and always letting them feel safe with me first! I can run around with them, give sniffing funs, or scratch and rub endlessly - I'm all theirs! For cats, depending on their energy too, I'll leave them be or give them all the attention with hide and seek, toy plays, cuddles, or for very very shy ones, try my darndest to gently let them get used to me and know I'm safe. I'll let them guide me! I have experience with senior dogs, small puppies, large breeds, reactive/flight risks, pets with trauma, medication needs, and more :)

Annie is the best! We didn't have to worry about Stevie at all while we were away because she took such great care of him. She kept us updated daily with pictures, videos, and stories. We think Stevie has found a new best friend ❤️

Annie is a saint! Our dog has anxieties, especially with storms, and she did everything she could think of to help him when storms hit. We received photos and videos constantly, so I always felt like I knew what they were getting into. I will be recommending her to anyone that needs a sitter in the future!

Can’t even begin to describe how amazing she was with our pups and our house. Fingers crossed she is available next time we need a dog sitter.

Annie was great with my puppy, Winston! She was reliable, patient and gave a detailed report card and lots of videos which I loved! Winston loved walking with her too!
