I am a long time Southern California resident, born and raised here. I am offering the most reliable, professional, and responsible pet care since 2009. I'm a former cat rescue worker and lifetime pet owner, with an interest in and a love for animals great and small. I am familiar with many common ailments and issues of domestic pets. My hobbies are home staging and decorating, and I have done a little acrylic painting and sometimes show my Persian cat. Licensed and discreet, I will provide your pets the loving care they deserve while you're away. Your babies will receive lots of exercise, love, and individual attention! Your pet is in excellent hands with Annie's Critter Care. Please call me, or send me an e-mail for more information, price quotes, or to set up a FREE introduction meeting.

Why Hire a Pet Sitter?

• No travel trauma and reduced exposure to illness

 I offer dependable, honest, and trustworthy pet care. My job is my livelihood and I take it very serious. By maintaining a professional image with high standards of service and expertise I offer you and your pet an alternative to boarding; love and care in their own home. I have been pet sitting for a while now and just love it.

 

Things to consider when hiring a neighbor or child..

 Are they bonded and insured,  are they reliable, will they be there every day for your pet, will they know what to do in an emergency, will your pet be a priority for them? All important things to know, and if something goes wrong will it damage your relationship?

What I Do...

I provide pet care in your home, along with basic vacation security and a variety of house sitting duties. I will come to your home as needed -- see below, under SERVICES. Even if you are not leaving home, there may be instances where I can be of service. Unusual working hours, injuries or lengthy illnesses may make it difficult to give your pet the level of care they deserve. When those times arise, I'm ready to provide assistance.

A Very Lucky Pet!

I give personal attention to each of your pets, and I personally will be your pet sitter - as I don't hire employees. I am fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC. This insurance includes the aspects of pet sitting usually covered by bonding - it is better than bonding! Your pet's complete well being is most important to me! I offer dependable, honest, and trustworthy pet

care. My job is my livelihood and I take it very serious .Please call or e-mail me for pricing, and include your location, number and type of pets and what service you think you'll need. I will either call or e-mail you within 24 hours with a response.
