Safety, trust & environment

I usually monitor pets in my home. I have a fence door if a pet needs some fresh air I can provide that for them. My neighborhood is friendly and safe, I usually have my cats in a carry-on backpack and take a walk around to give them a better view of the outside world. I also take dogs on walks around my neighborhood, its quite peaceful so don't worry about your anxiety pup, I know the quiet spots for a good walk.

Information Ani D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to understand your dog a bit more, here's a few questions I would like to know: What is the dog's health status and if they have any medications they are taking? What breed or mix of breeds is the dog? Is the dog potty trained? Does this dog get along with other dogs or other pets? Is anything I need to be aware of when I take care of them?

A typical day

I live in the Pasadena area, there are so many wonderful parks and hikes to go on here to give them the exercise they need. I typically like walking/hike around Arlington garden, the Huntington library, Lower Arroyo Park, Rose Bowl area, Hahamongna Park, Brookside, Arroyo Seco and Eaton canyon park If that isn't enough, I always like to play ball and play catch to get them to drain all that energy.

Pets

Hello all fur babies!

Pet care experience

Animals have always been up there in my life. Always want to help an animal in need and have one myself while growing up. I've helped friends and families with their dogs and cats over my years growing up but I've personally have that the privilege to have two amazing cats as my pets for 6 years and counting. They are my joy in life. Now I want to give back my experience not only with my own cats but other cats and dogs I've taken care for such as feeding, bathing, training, walking,hiking, playing, and so much more that a pet needs.

We had a great experience with Ani! She was warm, reliable, and clearly cared about my cat. She sent daily updates that gave me real peace of mind, and she was incredibly flexible and supportive with last-minute help over the holidays—which truly was a lifesaver. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend Ani!!

Ani was the best as always. She's one of the only people in the world my super shy cat likes 😄.
