Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & enthusiastic pet lover!
I have over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to large lizards, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I believe in providing the highest quality of care and an enthusiastic about engaging with your animals. A lot of people tend to thing that animals, especially cats, only require the bare minimum, but the reality is that for the best quality of life they need consistent and engaged care. To me this means deep cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they’re cleaned at least once a day, cleaning bowls regularly, engaging in active play and exercise/mental stimulation, and being patient when shy animals need time to warm up. Leaving your animals is hard—on both of you—having someone you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I am so excited to meet your pets and give them love.

Ratings and reviews
Absolute angel. Ananda is super attentive and sweet with my kitty girls, even the spicy one and was flexible with my travel plans and very communicative during each visit. Plus she sent me pictures of my sweet baby floofs when I was missing them. Absolutely recommend and will be using her again.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am passionate about making sure that spaces I am in are safe, comfortable, and clean for your pets. This means that I am also available to provide light cleaning while I am there. I am especially skilled with shy or easily scared animals and have a lot of experience working with them to get used to people. I currently only take pets in my home that are comfortable and non aggressive towards cats. The animals will be separated by floor (boarded animals stay on my first floor) and a baby gate to minimize any potential issues.
Pets
A typical day
For active dogs I enjoy engaging in the following: multiple sniff/potty walks, long walks or runs for active dogs, dog park play time or backyard play time, and of course lots of cuddles and affection! For less active dogs, I do shorter sniff walks and potty breaks and generally do indoor/backyard play time. For cats, I have a variety of toys that I will bring if the owner doesn’t have any, I also do treat foraging with them (:

- Please let me know if your dog is reactive with people—this includes fear based aggression (growling, nipping, whale eyes towards new people), if they have medical conditions, or have particular needs (some babies are divas and I love it)! For reactive animals, I prefer to do a trial run day to see how the animal warms up to ensure that liability issues are at a minimum for everyone (:
