Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Lover
Bonafide Animal Lover! I grew up on a farm caring for many different animals & have always had either cats and/or dogs in my adult life. Most recent, I cared for our two adult male shepherds in all aspects - training, feeding, walking, nurturing and our two adult cats - training, feeding, activity and nurturing. My pets are part of my family & I will provide the same level of care to your pets as well! (To avoid any confusion, my full name is “Sylvia Annette” - I usually go by my middle name “Annette” but will respond to either here.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Annette was very attentive to our cats' needs, including administering medications, cleaning litter boxes and really making an effort to feed our shy cat who hides from guests. She went above and beyond to ease our worries of leaving our cats while we were on vacation!
I highly recommend Sylvia. We received daily updates with lots of photos. She was very accommodating when we had a flight delay and offered to keep him another day. Scout came home happy as can be. Would definitely use her again.
Sylvia was my neighbor for several years while living in Tucson, Arizona. During that time, I had a black lab, OGOYO, home Silvia often took care of for me while out of town. She was kind, loving and ensured that OGOYO had the best care and everything he needed to be comfortable during my absence. She was the best!
I highly recommend Sylvia! She took wonderful care of my three dogs on the days I had to work or was away for the day. She was always prompt and reliable, arriving exactly when she said she would. She made sure they were let out, fed, and spent quality time outside playing with them, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone.
Sylvia has been watching Blitz for the past 6 years. Blitz really loves her and is always over the moon to see her. Sylvia is a very detailed person who is always on top of things. She is great at reaching out when questions arise and always sends updates with pictures of my pup and what he’s up to. Blitz is a 85Lb high energy ,working German shepherd. Sylvia takes him on very long walks and gives him lots of mental enrichment and plays with him to keep up with his needs. I’m very confident in her ability to handle all types of breeds and temperaments and I always have peace of mind knowing she is watching Blitz.
Annette is naturally a sensitive person who transcends that emotion and care to animals. From befriending a tortoise, to her love of cats and dogs. She has exhibited kindness and caring. Her knowledge of animal care is at the highest level, their care comes first.

Schedule
I am a semi-retired remote bookkeeper and empty nester therefore I am home most of the time and have plenty of time to do drop in visits, walking, house sitting or boarding.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My caution level for keeping my pets safe and well cared for is very high. They are part of my family. I focus on their daily feeding schedule, ensure the catbox is kept clean daily, play with them (laser pointer and feather toy) for their exercise, and provide lots of love and cuddles too. When I have our shepherds, I walk them daily and play fetch and tug of war with a ball or rope.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs - we will walk a couple times a day, play fetch or tug of war rope, and any other special activities or toys they prefer. Cats - we will have play time with a laser pointer or feather toy at least twice a day or whatever toys they prefer.
