Availability
I am a full time college student right now, but my calendar is updated correctly. I come home every weekend usually, and do not have classes Fridays. So I am available every Thursday pm after 3pm-Sunday pm!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet I care for like they’re one of my own! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from young, energetic pets to seniors who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with anxiety, disabilities, special needs, and pets who require medications or vitamins. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and am happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away!
Information Anika H. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me anything that will help me give your pet the safest and most comfortable care possible! I’d love to know about their normal routine, personality, medications, medical or mobility needs, allergies, dietary restrictions, and any behavioral concerns. If your pet has anxiety, fears, triggers, a disability, or needs extra time to warm up to new people, please let me know—I’m completely understanding and comfortable being patient with them. I’d also love to know all the little things that make them happy, like their favorite toys, treats, activities, sleeping spots, and ways they like to receive affection. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away!
A typical day
A typical day depends entirely on your pet’s age, personality, abilities, and energy level! For energetic dogs, I love going on walks, playing outside, playing fetch, and giving them plenty of opportunities to get their energy out. For cats, I’m happy to play with their favorite toys, give them attention and enrichment, or simply keep them company if they prefer their space. Senior pets, pets with disabilities, and more anxious animals may need a slower and gentler approach, and I’m more than happy to adjust activities to whatever makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure or a cuddle buddy on the couch, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and individualized care!

Pet care experience
I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for about three years, but caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned and cared for almost every kind of pet you can think of—from dogs and cats to bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens, lizards, and more. This has made me comfortable caring for animals with all different personalities, routines, and needs. I have experience with puppies and kittens, senior pets, anxious or shy animals, pets with disabilities and special needs, and administering medications. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated and giving your pet all the love and patience they deserve. No matter the species, age, or personality, I want every pet in my care to feel loved and safe while their owners are away!

Reviews
Anika has a passion for animal, and has had a variety of animals at her home over the years- cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, saltwater reef, and bearded dragons. I’m probably forgetting something! She is very conscientious and loves spending time with my dogs. She is patient and careful. They adore her! I definitely would recommend her to my friends and family
