Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle care from a lifelong 🐕 girl
👋 I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz and a toy terrier. I have lots of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. Prior to registering on Rover I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued from the street before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. ♥️ I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends - the pain of it shook me to my core, I loved them so much, they were my family members (you know how it is). Being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in looking after them and having them in my home.

Ratings and reviews
Anastasiia took excellent care of my blind dog with mobility issues, who can be high maintenance at times. He was soooo relaxed and calm after spending a day with her, it was noticeable. He didn’t seem eager to leave and loved being held by her! He’s a messy eater too and normally has food bits on paws and face but he was remarkably clean and very well cared for. Definitely want her to care for him again and will be reaching out soon. Also, she’s a musician and has a loving and generous, protective attitude about dogs. She is also detail-oriented with care instructions and communications. Highly recommend, esp for blind, deaf, elderly, or sensitive dogs.
Anastasiia was great with our dog's tricky behaviors and medication schedule. She was extremely communicative and loving with our needy pup!
Anastasiia was great! She was able to watch my rescue dog on short notice, and took great care of her. Since my dog is a rescue, I’m always a little nervous finding someone new to watch her. Anastasiia understood her quirks giving her both love and attention as well as space when she needed it. And I got lots of great updates with photos and videos, which was much appreciated. All around we had a great experience!
Anastasiia is fantastic! She made sure my anxious dog a very nice sleepover!! She was very kind and caring and understanding of all my dog's needs. She even let Claudette take the best spot on the couch! Highly recommend!!
Anastasiia was a sweetheart. She was amazing with our 1-year-old pug, Gordon (lol, yeah, I know), while we were away for a week for a wedding in Europe. He’s definitely not the easiest dog… he needs to go out three to four times a day, has a ton of energy, and is used to sleeping in bed with his humans, but she handled all of it great. She kept him on his feeding schedule, took him on regular walks (and even some longer exercise ones with treats), and sent us lots of photos, which we loved. It made being away from him so much easier. She was also super responsive anytime we checked in. Honestly, the best sign of how great she was is that when we came to pick him up, Gordon didn’t want to leave her place :) Would 100% trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone.

Schedule
🏡 I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. ❗️If your pup has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate.

Safety, trust & environment
🐶 I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and made a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I steer clear of other dogs by default when I’m walking your dog, so whether they’re leash reactive or not, I err on the side of caution 100% of the time. 🐕 I like training doggies and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well ❗️I’m not looking to scale this as a business and not looking for a potentially unsafe situation, so I’m always only caring for 1 dog at a time, unless both dogs are from the same owner and are part of the same booking.
A typical day
🌲 If your dog has lots of energy, we take long walks, do stimulating commands sessions, play with toys. 🌊 If your doggie is chill, we take long * leisurely * walks, lie around enjoying ear scratches and TV, and go about our day in a relaxed manner
