As of right now, I take care of animals whenever a pet parent needs me to. I’ve been taking care of the animals in my family ever since we got our first pet 10 years ago and I got into pet sitting through helping my neighbors over the past year whenever they needed someone to walk/ feed/ play or sleep with their baby. The first baby I started to watch on a regular basis was for my upstairs neighbor Kate’s dog, Mo. Her frenchie is the sweetest boy ever. On top of going on 3 daily walks, we went on hikes, I took him to the dog park, fed him salmon, put in his ear medicine nightly and massaged his hind legs. When we weren’t outside or playing some sort of game/ activity, we were just chilling with one another while I worked on my laptop. I’m able to be with your pet as much as needed, and more than just take care of them, I make sure to bond with every animal I interact with and give them plenty of love so they don’t feel the lack of your presence 🥺 At the end of the day, they’re all just lil babies.

Safety, trust & environment
I am able to stay anywhere for any period of time as long as I am able to earn more than my monthly rent during said duration. I live with my cat in an apartment with 3 other roommates, a dog and another cat. I’m able to have pets here during the day time because we have a backyard, movie room, gym and co-working space but it gets challenging at night because there’s not really a place for them to sleep since my cat sleeps in my room. I’m down to do absolutely anything it takes to make sure that your loved one is okay while you’re away.

Information Anika D. would like to know about your pet
If your pets need any sort of medication in order to be healthy or any sort of routine that helps them feel safe when you’re away, please let me know in advance and I promise to implement everything you mention. My care for all living things goes beyond any expectation you may have as it’s instinctual to my personality. I have a very deep and caring aura dedicated to making sure every animal in my care feels the safest they possibly could. I have even rescued a few wild animals completely on my own that were either injured/ too tired to fly, walk, etc. My attention to detail ensures that in my hands, your pets are going to be the happiest and safest they could possibly be without their parents around.
A typical day
I do anything but the bare minimum. I absolutely love getting to know and bond with the animals in my care as each of them has their own unique personality and traits, just like us humans do. I’m all about catering to whatever it is that the animal and their owner’s need from me. The first thing I would do is take into consideration every single criteria the pets parent would like me to implement. I love going on walks, exploring nature, running with them, playing fetch, and even have a large patio in my apartment with a hose and a ton of space so your babies and I can run, play and even have water days during the summer should that be something you prefer! My apartment has plenty of animals as well, so if your baby wants to be social, that option exists as well!

Pet care experience
Hey there! My name’s Anika and I love spending my time with animals. :) I’ve been pet-sitting for the past year or so for different people in my neighborhood and have helped so, sooo many animals and people with their pets over the course of my life! I started asking myself what field of work I could see myself doing regularly while also working on the skills I’d like to develop, and being around and taking care of animals wins every time. My family in Chicago adopted my dog over 10 years ago now, I adopted a cat that I’ve had with me in LA for the last 2 years and I grew up with birds! I even had a fish for a very brief period of time before passing it along to someone else. Ensuring that my pets are always safe is my no.1 priority, I am constantly googling things to make sure everything is alright and up-to-date with them. I also work mostly from home- I own my own Airbnb business which I can do from anywhere which allows me to be at home with them often. I am also a musician so have to travel for that from time to time, but usually not for extended periods of time, just for a few hours in the day/ night. I love nature and all living things and will do everything in my power to make sure your babies are happy, safe and entertained with me!
Reviews
Anika was great and will definitely use her again! She was on time, stayed later than she needed to (I told her she could leave because the dogs would be okay to be alone an hour) she send updates, took pictures, she asked about the dogs paws because it was hot outside and did her own research to see if it was suitable for them to walk and how long. She asked about which treats and which toys for each of my dogs too. A lucky find
Anika was wonderful with my pup. Would def book with her again. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!
Anika took great care of my dogs, cats and even my chickens! She is loving, detail oriented and very professional. I felt that my pets were in the best hands with Anika! I highly recommend her services!
Anika is such a wonderful person if I could give ten stars I would 10/10 super recommended. Anika goes above and beyond during the booking by making sure you’re updated throughout the day with what your puppers has been up to. Great communication and overall I have no complains. If you’re looking into someone you can trust Anika is your go to can definitely come back with comfort and reassurance that Anika is the best option to look over my baby 🐾
