Laura Zeles – Co-Owner Laura has a vast amount of experience with a variety of pets.  She is currently “mom” to five dogs, five cats, a guinea pig, two water turtles and Misty, the Red Footed Tortoise, who is the official mascot of the company.  Misty makes an appearance at most of our adoption fairs and events and is always a huge hit!  Three of Laura’s canines are Red Cross Certified Therapy Dogs and do volunteer work a various hospitals, nursing homes & rehab facilities in the surrounding area.  She is also certified in Canine CPR and first aid. Laura saw the benefit of in-home pet care for people with multiple animals because the price to board so many could be astronomical – or not even available.  She and Anne brainstormed the idea, and Annie Lou’s Pet Sitting Service was born! 

Sarah Green – Team Member Sarah has worked in the animal welfare field for over 25 years, both in Municipal and non-profit organizations.  She graduated from the University of Florida with an MS in Shelter Medicine.  Sarah enjoys all areas of animal welfare, but her passion is in affordable, high quality, high volume, spay/neuter services and she recently opened Kentuckiana Veterinary Outreach in Sellersburg.  Sara loves all animals but has a special place in her heart for her own four dogs and seven cats.  Sarah feels honored to be part of the Annie Lou’s Team, but we think we’re the lucky ones to have her! 

Kaitlynn Zeles – Team Member Kaitlynn has grown up with a houseful of animals all her life, and loves it!  She has loads of experience with her family’s pets and has recently become mom to her own fur baby, Pebbles.  Kaitlynn can be found working the aisles at a local paint store fulltime but is a huge help to the Annie Lou’s Team during our peak busy seasons.

Jill Farney – Team member Jill is a hardworking, semi-retired, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother!  We are so lucky that she doesn’t like to sit still because she does an amazing job for Annie Lou’s Pet Sitting!  She loves all animals and is a perfect fit to our team.  Jill has had a variety of pets all her life and currently resides with her cat Ellie and husband Craig.

Audrey Elliott – Team member Audrey recently graduated college with her biology degree. She has loved animals her whole life and caring for them is her passion. Audrey splits her time between Clark County Humane Association and Annie Lou’s Pet Sitting Service. Audrey has been a long term employee of Annie Lou’s while juggling school, but now she’s back permanently in Southern Indiana with her pooch, Paris. We missed her while she was gone and she is excited to see her old furry friends and meet all the new ones!

Trista Dean – Team Member Trista has always had a love for animals and grew up with them running through her house!  Trista currently has a chihuahua, Lily, and a black cat, Salem.  She is a student at Hanover University majoring in International Studies and History with a minor in Spanish.  She hopes to take her education and passion for animals into a future career.  Trista has been a great addition to the Annie Lou’s Crew and she’s excited to meet your fur babies!
