Big or small, I love them all!

Pet care experience

I have many years experience with pet and house care. I worked for a doggie daycare and boarding- Rover Retreat in Golden, CO- through high school and part of college, and have spent time house and petsitting, at least 3-4 times a year for the past 6 years. My dog passed away in the summer of 2016 and miss spending time walking and playing with dogs. I am also a lover of all other animals- I have 4 cats in my home so depending on your dog it might be best for me to come to your home. I am available most days for care- I am currently working towards my masters degree so some days I have classes. I have experience with light grooming and bathing (nails, ect. no big haircuts). I am not shy around even the biggest of pups, I have had labs and Rottweilers growing up. I believe our pets are our best and most loving family members and they deserve the best treatment and abundant love!

Anna was great with our dog. We would totally use her services again! She was super great and reaching out to us before we arrived to make sure everything was smooth.

Ana is one of the most caring and devoted people that I know. I have never known her to turn a blind eye to anything which she could make a difference to and she always responds in ways where her strengths are most heavily pronounced. With pets in particular, I have seen her take great care of her cats. Even on those occasions where they become decidedly evil and she has every reason to become upset at them, she instead looks for ways of encouraging better behavior from them rather than seeking any sort of vengeance upon them. And even during normal days, she doesn't take them for granted or ignore them as if they were furniture. She takes them into her heart and the relationship has always been to both the pet's and her benefit. Personally, I would trust her with any companion that I cared about as I would have no doubt that she would take care of them far better than I would no matter how hard I tried.

Ana is a strong willed and caring person. She has a good head on her shoulders. I would trust her with my furry loved ones any day of the week. Please give her your business! You will not be disappointed!

I find that Anastasia has a great ability to 'read' the animals in her care and ensure that they are not put in situations that would cause them stress, discomfort, or agitation. She always places the well being of the animals ahead of all other considerations and is kind and loving to her charges. I would highly recommend her for any large or small animal care situation.

Information Anastasia A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how old your dog is, what they need for care and affection, and some of their favorite toys, treats, and places. I have no breed preferences, they are all wonderful.

A typical day

I love walking and getting as many steps in as possible, so the most active dogs would be happy with me. (Although happy to keep a mellow pace for smaller pals and senior pups) I am 6'1'- so I can keep a pretty brisk pace. I am comfortable at dog parks and love a good game of fetch. I will devote lots of time to cuddles and belly rubs!
