Fun Comfort Care, Special Needs Too

Pet care experience

For The Love of a Pooch. Located near LAX. Since 2002 I have had Cocker Spaniels. Both of my boys ended up with Special Needs. My first, Rusty, lost his eyes. As part of his retraining of commands, I started baking (see below). Because of Rusty's demeanor, he would reach out to children with special needs and eventually became a Therapy Dog. He was an extraordinary life. I am a better person for having known and loved him. His spirit is always here in the house. Rocco was the shelter dog who welcomed all the new dogs, especially the most timid. He broke his back a few months after he came to live with me. After surgery we did the therapy and my boy learned how to walk and run again. We still have challenges, so we "take em as they come." I love calm dogs, can take care of Special Needs dogs, and love senior dogs. As I mentioned above, after Rusty lost his first eye, Started baking treats and eventually went into the, dog bakery business making healthy treats and studying canine nutrition. I sold great tasting biscuits. I sold at Certified Farmer's Markets, speciality pet food stores, & Whole Foods Markets from Los Angeles to San Diego. Eventually I began teaching canine nutrition and dog food making classes at Certified Farmers Markets, Whole Foods and stores throughout Southern California. I just watched, Dr Marty's video on nutrition and my recipe is, "right on" for ingredients!! We look forward to having your boy or girl in our happy home and providing the same love and care that, Rocco and Rusty before him receive every minute of every day. Hope to meet soon, Annie & RoccoBoy

I needed a dog sitter last minute! Annie responded right away...and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. Annie was extremely welcoming and made Koda feel right at home immediately. I really enjoyed how sweet Annie was and how loving she was, it made me feel really comfortable leaving my baby with her. Koda had a great stay and I could tell he enjoyed hanging out Annie’s dog, Rocco. The photo updates made me feel even more rest assured. I would highly recommend Annie and would not hesitate to use her again as a dog sitter.

Annie is the most trustworthy dog lover around! I trusted her with my new puppy years ago and as he got older. I was always comfortable knowing that she would treat him with the same love and care that I would! She knows dogs, understands them and anyone who is fortunate enough to use her will see how she cherishes animals.

Annie is an A++++ Awesome dog sitter! Annie is a neighbor of mine and she has taken care of my dog as well. I don't trust most people with my dog, but I trust her implicitly and know she would be kind, caring, and trustworthy as if my furbaby were her own. She is the most loving dog mom and, in fact, once owned a dog bakery. She is the best!

Information Annie S. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

This is a great dog neighborhood. Our streets are safe and beautifully tree-lined. We even have a “Corner Yappy Hour.” Once your dog and I are comfortable with one another, and with your permission, I would like to take the dogs to Playa Vista Dog Park. It is clean and new, plus they have a wonderful park for smaller and senior dogs. The dogs are fed at the same time, however, if food issues arise, the dogs may be separated accordingly. I do not make a big deal about it, as it is part of the normal flow.
