Highlights
Pet care experience
Where your pet feels at home!
Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Linda had a great walk with Anika!
Anika was amazing with our Labrador! She took her for long walks or swimming in the lake . Thank you so much Anika, for your care and updates!
Dogs love Anika! She grew up in a dog loving family and knows how to handle all kinds of situations. She is easy-going, yet firm and has fun with both her own dog and all his four legged buddies. Anika is responsible and dependable. Highly recommended!!
I have two young rescue dogs. They are young and full of energy, with personalities that couldn't be more distinct from one another. Anika stayed at our house and took care of both of them for the weekend. She has a kind, calm, but confident way about her. She understands how to approach and work with dogs. The dogs took to her immediately and were on the couch next to her before I could even notice. She fed, walked, and played with the dogs all weekend. I would recommend her to any dog owner! Your dogs will be in good hands.
When Anika cares for our lab mix, our sweet dog lives her best life. She has even more fun that she has at home. Anika is someone who truly loves animals and sees them as the pure souls they are. When our dog is with Anika she gets lots of loving attention, fun and active walks and the best snuggles you could want. We give Anika our highest recommendation if you want your dog to be loved and cared for!
Annika has taken care of my 7-year-old Golden Retriever, and she does a wonderful job! I feel very comfortable when my dog is in her care, I know she will take him for long walks in the woods and keep him safe at all times. I feed him some cooked food and some kibble and she was able to follow my feeding directions exactly. Mango is always excited to go to Annika's house, so I know she is happy in her care. I would highly recommend Annika to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their dog!

Schedule
I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs.
