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.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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.
