I'm just a dog in a human body! ;)
Pet care experience
I'm a dog at heart! ... Playful, energetic & fun-loving!! I am fully vaccinated/boosted & will spoil your fur baby with undivided attention, & lots of love/cuddles, in my comfy, sterile & safe home. I'm very interactive (if welcomed, of course) with the pets I care for, whether it be snuggling or playing. I work primarily from home, & am usually not away from home for more than just 3-4 hours or so at a time. However, I'm typically home for the most part, aside from the occasional quick errand. I live alone (no children or other pets) in a clean/sanitary secured condo, & - since I don't do this for a living (simply for the joy of their companionship) I accept only ONE CLIENT at a time - to ensure safety for your pet(s) & also to provide them with my undivided attention. I disinfect my home between clients & do whatever I can to adhere to their regular routine to make them as comfortable as possible. We’ll got out at least 3-4 times/day (2 quick potty breaks between 1-2 longer walks, or as instructed & depending on your pets' desired activity &/or endurance level/ability). I would love to share my love & energy with your furry loved one. I have cared for numerous pets (both cats & dogs) of various breeds, ages, sizes, energy levels & health/physical abilities for several years. I love their company, & promise to give them ALL of the love that you would yourself. Again, I'm willing to accommodate more than one pet at a time - but usually only with the SAME client/owner - unless otherwise requested & agreed upon by both parties. I'm also comfortable & experienced with caring for senior pets with mobility issues & other disabilities, & providing oral medications. - Let's talk! I'd love to meet them (& you), & love & play with them in my own home, or in yours (for locals) if house-sitting is preferred/feasible. Please take a moment to read reviews from my past clients & look through my photo album. Ideally, we can set up a "meet & greet" prior to booking, if you'd like. Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the meantime. Looking forward to hearing from you & meeting both you & your fur baby. :)
Reviews
Ania was amazing! Our two dogs truly enjoyed their time with her! She was completely transparent with us about her schedule and had an open dialog about when she might be away or if she was having friends over and how to best handle our girls during those times. She also sent plenty of pictures and even let our girls snuggle in bed with her (which they love!!). We have only used Rover twice thus far, but we would use her again and reccomend her to anyone!
Ania is great with Ruby! Ania is great at communicating and send tons of pictures! We know she is well taken care of because we are always updated on what’s going on. Ania lets Ruby on her bed and cuddles her and keeps her company while we’re gone.
Ania was so sweet with my Scout. She communicated and sent so many pics and updates! She really helped us travel with confidence.
Anya was the best dog sitter! She treated our pups as her own. She let them snuggle and sleep with her, took them on walks and gave constant updates and pictures. One of our dogs is difficult and Anya was patient and won him over too! Can’t say enough good things!

I promise to provide my clients full-disclosure/transparency. In my care, your pets will only be outdoors while leashed, unless otherwise instructed (i.e., you'd like me to take them to a dog park). I will also adhere to all "rules" as you do in your home (allowed on furniture, etc.), & will not encourage any "bad behavior" which is not allowed in your own home. If in your home, I will be respectful of your home & will leave it in the same condition (if not better ;) than it was upon my arrival.

Information Ania M. would like to know about your pet
So full disclosure: if your dog tends to be a chronic barker/howler (especially when left alone), then this may not be a good fit, as I live in a condo with close quarters to neighbors. (Reactive barking - i.e., to doorbells, loud noises, etc. - is, of course, expected/not a concern). Would like to know: What helps calm/sooth them best (especially if they suffer from separation anxiety)? Are they: Up to date on their vaccinations? House-trained/fully potty-trained? Crate-trained? Do they bark much/at what? Any aggressive tendencies?/Do they bite? Do they have any triggers/idiosyncrasies (fears) or habits I should be aware of? Friendly with other dogs? Any medications? Allergies? Their typical amount of daily exercise. Boundaries or restrictions (Allowed on furniture?, etc.)? Feeding schedule. Any specific house-proofing requirements/suggestions? Disposition (Playful, Cuddler, Loner)? Favorite toys/games or activities? Commands? Any other specific suggestions or requests to make them comfortable?
A typical day
I live in a spacious condo, but no fenced yard - so your pet would never be outdoors without a leash (unless in a private, protected area agreed upon in advance). I will take them out 3-4 times+ per day; at least 1-2 of which would be longer walks (as far/long as preferred, for active/able pups) if preferred. IF allowed, pets are welcome to snuggle with me in bed &/on furniture. - But I will make sure to enforce any/all boundaries/disciplinary guidelines. I love all, & am open to sitting for most, types of dogs - as well as cats. I PREFER that puppies, UN-housetrained, & larger dogs be crate-trained when/if in the home alone. - But this is not a deal breaker, & is negotiable/specific to each pet. Again, I have A LOT of love to give your furry friend & I will treat them as if they're my own (within your rules of discipline, of course). :) I love to go for walks on my own as it is, but it's much more fun with a pet (plus they tend to make for a nice "accessory" ;)! I'll go for walks wherever you prefer within my locale (or yours, for house-sitting). I will only go to dog parks if recommended by you. (Otherwise, I prefer to avoid them, for the safety of your pet, due to the unknown aggressiveness of other dogs). I also love playing fetch (with a frisbee, ball or "chuck-it"), in addition to providing lots of cuddling (as I'm a "snuggler") & giving belly rubs - I have lots of love to give! :)
