Compassionate caregiving enthusiast
Pet care experience
I have 6 years of pet care experience including interning at an animal Sanctuary caring for large animals. During the day, I work as a Behavior technician with a young client with autism, using ABA therapy to enhance their lifeskills. I also do community habilitation work for someone with someone who also has developmental disabilities. I fell into this work after having worked in ABA therapy for young children with autism as well as at a group home for adults with autism. I feel that I am naturally drawn to caregiving and the advocacy of people and animals of all ages.
Reviews
We had to leave our boys for an extended period of time for the first time and we were very nervous about it. Anastasia took such good care of them and sent us some amazing pictures! We did not worry about them at all!!! They were so relaxed when we got home. We would definitely use Anastasia again to take care of Papi and Noodles!
Anastasia is a natural, caring animal lover. She has responsibly taken care of my 3 cats numerous times (one of which requires walking on a leash outside) She is respectful of the home the animals live in, and the owners directions for pet care. She is level headed and mature. Highly recommended. Jeanne G.
Anastasia is a loving responsible pet owner of 3 cats. She has cared for animals in my home for 6 years. Whenever we go away we call Anastasia. We have three dogs ( Two who are elderly and need special care..) and a guinea pig. We feel safe knowing she is caring for them. She takes them for walks and makes sure they are fed in a timely fashion. We trust her completely!
Anastasia is a very caring and responsible person in regards to animals. She was raised with a dog and cats, and continues to care for them in her home. She also has cared for our dog when needed and is wonderful with her. I would recommend her highly.

Safety, trust & environment
My home will not be open to boarding as I have three cats of my own who are not used to visitors. However, I feel I can provide a feeling of safety, trust, and comfort for any animal in need of services through my experience and ability to understand what an animal might/does want/need.
Information Anastasia S. would like to know about your pet
Definitely let me know if there are any special needs or instructions involved in caring for your pets. I want to be able to care for them to the absolute best of my ability and communication about these things helps me to get the job done :)
A typical day
I'm very active so I'm ready to keep your dogs active and occupied. I love a good game of fetch and/or chase. Once that is done I love to just chill out and get some pets in :)

Availability
During the week, I am always occupied with my client from 4pm to 6pm. Otherwise, my schedule can be variable, leaving gaps that can be filled with pet care.
