As her parent, I’ve had a front-row seat to just how responsible and caring Anastasia is with animals, and she is an excellent pet caregiver. She has been an active part of caring for our two family dogs for years — not just helping out, but taking ownership of their well-being. On multiple occasions, she has stayed home alone to care for them while we traveled out of town for several nights at a time. During those stays, she handled everything independently: feeding on schedule, daily walks, administering their medications, keeping them company, and making sure they got plenty of playtime. We never once worried while we were away. Beyond our own pets, Anastasia has also pet sat for friends and family each with different animals and different routines. Now 18 and starting her pet sitting business, she brings the same genuine love for animals and sense of responsibility that she’s demonstrated for years. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family — with patience, attentiveness, and real affection — Anastasia is exactly that person.
