My husband and I moved from Indiana with our pack of four dogs who were used to having many acres to run and play and grandparents to watch over them when we traveled. We knew no one in our new state and we were so lucky to find Mrs. Doolittle’s!! We use Mrs. Doolittle’s for afternoon walks two times per week and for overnight stays for all four of our dogs.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the service we receive from Mrs. Doolittle’s. She can handle our pack of 4 very different dogs with ease.  Our pack looks forward to their special time with their new friends at Mrs. Doolittle’s.  It is so comforting to be able to know that if we have to work late or go out of town we know that our pack is taken care of.  We highly recommend Mrs. Doolittle’s to all pet parents!!

"
We have a territorial, 12-year-old tortoiseshell cat, Tesla, who does not run and hide when she is displeased, but rather becomes very aggressive. It has been a challenge finding a pet caretaker that can tolerate Tesla's mood-swings and grumpiness. Annarita has been taking care of Tesla for about three years now, and has been just wonderful with Tesla.  She has been patient and caring, and has won Tesla's trust, something we didn't think would be possible for any pet sitter. 
  Annarita pays close attention to every detail, is extremely thorough, communicates frequently with us, and goes beyond what we ask of her, such as putting out trash, leaving the outdoor lights on for  us, and flowers to welcome us home.  Tesla is more calm and relaxed when we arrive home than she has been with any other caretaker.  I would highly recommend Annarita, "Mrs. Doolittle", to any pet owner, especially those with persnickety pets!"

"While Annarita advertises that she offers pet sitting services, she is, in fact, more like an elf!  Not only is my cat content, well-fed, and groomed upon my return, but my plants are still alive and my rubbish container has been restored to its proper place, rather than hanging out at the bottom of the drive, announcing my absence.  I have complete confidence in Annarita's skill and dependability. I count Mrs. Doolittle's Pet Sitting Service among my "best finds" in the Ann Arbor area."

Loki 

"My husband and I moved to Ann Arbor with our cat, Loki, in 2006 to work at the University of Michigan.  Academia requires plenty of travel and we were unsure of who to turn to for pet sitting in a new town.   Since we have no kids, Loki is our "baby".  I was worried that nobody would care of him as we do, including daily medication, walks on his leash, and lots of play and cuddles. 

Thankfully, we found Annarita!  During our introductory visit, she totally understood where I was coming from and was genuinely excited to get to know Loki, with all of his quirks.  It surprised me on our first trip that Annarita regularly e-mailed us with updates and pictures of Loki.  Now when we travel I look forward to this very thoughtful service.  My mind is at ease, knowing that Annarita is keeping Loki on his regular schedule, and giving him all the love we would give him, as well as keeping our house clean and secure. 

We know Loki is happy with Annarita as one day our flight was delayed and we forgot to call and reschedule her services.  When Annarita arrived promptly at her scheduled time, Loki actually ran to the door to greet her and give her affection, something he reserves for very few people.  Loki started playing with Annarita and scarcely noticed when I left the house to head for the airport!   This proves she has become part of his "family".

Annarita truly has a passion and a gift for working with animals and their human companions, she is very responsive, reliable and professional.  I highly, highly recommend her to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy their travels knowing that their pet and home are extremely well cared for."

"Annarita stayed at our home over the Christmas holidays and watched our very spoiled dog. I must say that our house was in better shape when we returned from our trip than when we left it in our haste to get to the airport! Our dog was so happy... we really noticed that she was not as needy as she has been when we left her with other pet sitters. I know that Annarita was very concerned about giving her a lot of love, attention, and keeping her on her usual schedule.

Annarita kept in touch via email and phone throughout the week of vacation, which really put my mind at ease. Even after our return, we received a phone call from her to make sure that our connections worked out and that we were back in town with our dear pet. Annarita did everything she promised, plus more.

Annarita is honest, dependable, and goes the extra mile. Without hesitation, I would recommend her as a pet sitter."
