Reviews
Ana was wonderful and I felt like my baby Harpo was in really good hands. It is always difficult for me to be away from him but I appreciated the photos and updates and through Ana’s communication was able to relax and enjoy my vacation! Thank you so much. Would gladly use Ana’s services again in the future.
Ana was great with our dogs while we were away and gave us updates on how they were doing. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Ana is *beyond amazing*! I honestly cannot say enough nice things about her. She sent vids and pics of our fur baby every day which just warmed my heart and made me feel at ease knowing how much love and attention Zbear was getting! I have an extremely difficult time leaving Zbear; however, having Ana with her meant that I was able to enjoy our trip at a level I haven't previously been able to on other trips! Usually I feel very guilty and anxious about leaving Zbear, and it's a feeling that just sits in the background for me...but not this time!! I got to be fully present and anxiety-free on our trip thanks to Ana!! I could tell in the videos that Ana was very in-tune with Zbear as I could tell Zbear was relaxed and happy. Anyway, I could go on and on...Ana is fantastic and we are so very grateful for her! :)
Thanks, Ana! Appreciate so much good care for Zeke when we are out of town ??

Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read my booking policies. I am very much forward to spending time with your pet(s)!
Information Ana A. would like to know about your pet
Here are a few of my own policies for booking to ensure the maximized safety of your pet(s). I require a meet and greet for all pet sitting inquiries with new clients. It is important that I am aware ahead of time if your pet requires any special needs, their energy levels, and if applicable, how well trained they are including how well they handle on the leash (if applicable). I ask that you please do not request my services for trips that are not yet confirmed. It is dififcult for my schedule when your trip is cancelled or changed last minute. I will typically ask you if your trip is confirmed before scheduling a time to come to your home for a meet and greet. Thanks for understanding! For pups, I do not accept bookings for pets without basic leash training and recall ability for safety reasons. Please do not request my services if your adult dog is untrained. Thank you :)
A typical day
When it comes to kitties, I absolutely love playing with them using toys or sitting inside and giving them lots of ear scritches and snuggles. Another thing I love is being outside. Because I'm from Colorado, I am an avid hiker. If your pup can come hike then we would be a perfect match! I have lots of experience hiking with dogs both on and off leash and always obey leash laws. If you have a smaller pup, no problem! There is nothing quite like a relaxing stroll in the park or a bit of playtime and ear scratches at home.

I am well versed with all types of animal care, including farm animals! Lately I have been focusing more on feline-friend drop-ins and have so much love to give to your kitty if that is what you are looking for. I also grew up with two border collies and had another one as an adult, so I am well-experienced in managing even the most intelligent and sneaky troublemakers. I have also had several cats, rabbits, reptiles, parrots, and a ferret. I adore and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes! My current housing situation doesn't allow me to get another pet, so I have tons of extra love and attention waiting to be spent on your furry, feathered, or scaly friend. I have been walking friends' dogs on the side for over 20 years. It was my first responsibility as a kid. I graduated with a degree in wildlife biology and animal behavior in 2017 and spent the following years in Colorado walking and training animals during my downtime, and very quickly became the "neighborhood dog-person." Because of this, I formed a special bond with many pups and got to watch a few of them grow up from tiny puppies. I of course learned how to effeciently deal with teething, rambunctious, and destructive young pups along the way. I have several years experience in dog training and have had many happy clients. The only issue is me falling in love with all of the furry animals I care for!
