Pawsitively Awesome Flexible Care!
Pet care experience
My ideal date is long (or short) walks on the pavement / grass with a lovely dog by my side. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Charlotte is my hometown so I know all the fun local places to go for a walk. I have a big silly golden retriever & 15 year old cat of my own and I’m currently in the market for another dog. My schedule is currently very flexible most of the day during weekdays and weekends so I will be able to work around you and your pets needs and schedules. I love all animals and I’m excited to get to know and walk your adorable fur babies! Speak to you soon! ~Annie
Reviews
Annie is my go-to Rover. She is great at getting my skittish cat out of her shell and will go over and above my asks during the visits.
Best Rover I’ve had! My cat never comes out for strangers and Annie was patient with her and she felt right at home!
We would highly recommend Annie to anyone needing a dog sitter, and consider ourselves fortunate to have found such a timely, responsible, and caring friend to house sit our two 80lb golden retrievers. Sometimes our rambunctious boys can be a little difficult to manage, but Annie was able to navigate through the daily chaos with ease. We really appreciated her daily communication and transparency throughout the process, and look forward to using Annie again in the near future. Again, we recommend Annie wholeheartedly as she is simply the best!
Annie was AWESOME! She was super responsive and sent us plenty of pictures of our pups playing. We knew Murphy and Moose were in great hands with Annie!

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for pets, my top priority is their well-being and happiness. As a dog walker, I ensure that each pup gets the exercise and attention they need during our outings. I tailor the walks to their energy levels and provide a fun and engaging experience. During check-ins at their house, I follow specific instructions provided by the pet parent. This includes feeding, refreshing water bowls, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. As a house sitter, I become a trusted guardian for their furry family members. I offer companionship, maintain their regular feeding and exercise schedule, and provide extra care to ease any separation anxiety. I also take care of household tasks to ensure everything runs smoothly. Rest assured, I approach my work with professionalism and respect, always striving to create a positive and loving experience for every pet in my care. I keep the lines of communication open with pet parents, providing updates and peace of mind while they are away. Your pets' happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I am committed to providing them with the best care possible.
Information Annie S. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of time, it is crucial for me to gather important information about a dog to ensure their well-being and tailor the care to their specific needs. This includes any special needs they may have, such as dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or required medications. Understanding if a dog is reactive is vital, as it allows me to adjust our interactions accordingly and ensure their safety and the safety of others. Learning about specific behaviors that a dog dislikes helps me create a comfortable and stress-free environment for them. Additionally, knowing how they typically respond to encountering other animals during walks, such as squirrels or other dogs, allows me to manage their reactions and prevent any overwhelming or reactive behaviors, ensuring enjoyable outings for everyone involved.
A typical day
When it comes to the dogs I watch, I engage them in mentally stimulating exercises and games to keep their minds sharp and active. These activities can include interactive puzzles, scent games, and trick training, among others. I tailor the games to suit each dog's preferences and abilities, providing them with both mental challenges and a sense of accomplishment. In addition to mentally stimulating games, I am mindful of the summer season and the need to keep dogs cool and comfortable. If the owner permits, I can set up a little doggie pool in a shaded area where the dogs can safely cool down and have some splashy fun. It's a great way to beat the heat while providing a refreshing and enjoyable experience for the dogs in my care. During our walks, I like to explore nearby parks, nature trails, or other dog-friendly areas, allowing the dogs to experience new sights, sounds, and smells. It's a wonderful way to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Of course, I always ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs, making sure to avoid excessively hot surfaces and keeping them hydrated throughout our activities. My goal is to create a stimulating and enjoyable experience for the dogs I watch, providing them with mental exercises, opportunities to cool down, and fun outings that cater to their individual needs and the summer season.
