Annie, The Pet Nannie!

68 , retired

I'm Annabel, or Annie the pet Nannie on this web site! I would love to care for your pets whilst you are away.
I am 68, non smoker/non drinker, and enjoy a quiet lifestyle.
I would be delighted to take care of your dogs, cats, other animals (but not birds due to an allergy-chooks o.k though) and of course, your home!
I have years of experience in caring for dogs large and small, cats, horses and ponies and donkeys, and can keep an eye on cows and sheep etc. i.e. I would know when there was something wrong...and have moved them from one paddock to another before now!
I have a mid sized campervan, bigger than a car (height, width and length) so does need a bit of room and a flat space to park!
Happy to stay in my house on wheels or in your house, as you wish.
I am accompanied by 2 desexed male Whippets, Both are getting a bit longer in the teeth, and they do tend to spend most of their time asleep on my bed in the campervan, the younger boy loves a short play every now and then with friendly dogs although they both love 'their' campervan!, In cooler weather it is more likely that they won't even poke their noses out, whilst in warmer weather they will lay on my bed with their cooler blowing cool air on them!. Whippets like their comfort!
On some recent sits the house dogs have come in and enjoyed the campervan too, Ciaran my younger boy loves inviting his new found friends in too our campervan!!
I enjoy longer 'sits' in Country or Country town locations. But am very flexible in most matters!
Hounds of course are my 'specialty'! but I also have many years of Gundog experience, having previously trained and shown and trialed Golden and Labrador Retrievers.
Also have some regular pony/horse sits and in my younger years was a keen horsewoman , now I just love to be around them as arthritis tends to niggle if I ride......
I do have references.
Feel free to call me anytime!

No rating Annie sat for us and looked after 15 ponies 3 alpacas 1 sheep and 3 dogs I would recommend Annie she did the best job I could have ever dreamed of and would have her back again. and went well beyond her duty to have all animals looked after in the worst weather ever THAnK YOU ANNIE FORM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

Annabelle helped us out when our previous sitter was unable to do the sit (from another site) She was very good with our old Labrador Charlie . Who looked very well looked after when we came back . Annabelle did 8 weeks sit for us and we were very pleased with her sitting. I would use her again .

Caring for Charlie the Labrador was a joy, lovely older lady! The house was easy to keep clean and tidy too, I would be happy to care for house and Charlie anytime!
Annabel has a great rapport with the dogs. Our oldies loved her. We had to extend a few days due to being interstate when lockdown happened, Annabel was happy to stay on so we didn't have to worry. She looked after the house & garden, Pleasant, friendly and helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.

This house and pet sit was the best sit I have ever done, the owners (Kerrie and John) are lovely people and I feel honoured to have been entrusted to care for their home and and dogs, I feel they are friends already:-D
 
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
