Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Anastasia for 20 years. During that time, she’s been an animal lover, accommodating her pets, so they have the best lives possible. Her current dog, Khuno, is a gem. At some point, when he had health challenges, Anastasia did everything possible, even traveling by plane with Khuno from Alaska to Washington to obtain appropriate medical help for him. After her relentless efforts, Khuno is fine. Also, Anastasia enjoys dog training. Khuno's behavior is a testament to those efforts. The two regularly travel cross-country, and they are always welcome additions in our home Back East.
I am very happy to recommend Anastasia as a pet caregiver. She has an exceptional ability to understand and connect with dogs, and her intuition with animals is truly remarkable. She is attentive to their individual personalities, needs, and cues, and she treats them with patience, kindness, and genuine care. She has also trained her own dog to be a service dog, which speaks volumes about her dedication, consistency, patience, and understanding of canine behavior. She approaches caring for animals thoughtfully and responsibly, and I would trust her completely with a dog in her care. Beyond her natural ability with dogs, Anastasia is incredibly reliable, considerate, clean, and conscientious. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and takes pride in doing things well. She is the kind of person who can be trusted not only to care for a dog, but to care for someone's home and routines with the same level of respect and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of their animal.
Anastasia dog sat our precious Kip. She walked him daily and taught me training techniques to curb his barking. He's more well behaved after spending a week with her. She's honest and kind. Dogs love her. I can recommend her with confidence. She is reliable and competent to care your family member.
Anastasia is a kind, responsible, and trustworthy pet caregiver. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet with patience, attention, and care. She’s also an amazing dog trainer who is patient, knowledgeable, and great at understanding each dog’s individual needs. I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, loving, and skilled caregiver.

A typical day
When I’m caring for dogs, I like to make their time with me fun, active, and relaxing. Depending on their personality and energy level, we may go for hikes and walks, play games and explore, work on some training and good manners, or simply relax and enjoy some quiet time together. I want every dog to feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my daily routine while they’re with me.
