Highlights
Pet care experience
Love for all creatures, big & small
I grew up with many animals and currently care for my dogs and cat when my parents are away for work. I've also watched my moms friends 3 dogs a while back and was required to give them food at a specific time (around 6pm), which I consistently did. Speaking of various pets; I also am experienced in reptile, rodent and fish care. I. have experience caring for snakes, bearded dragons, turtles, betta fish, and a whole range of other fish breeds. If there's something I am not sure about something in regards to caring for a creature, I make sure to research and provide the best and most optimal care that I can for them. you happen to have other creatures to care for in the home, I am open to watch over them as well!

Safety, trust & environment
Whenever my parents aren't home, I would feed and play with my pets. I would also administer medication for my dog Nana, due to her medical issue (Cushing's Disease). If I'm tired, I would nap with the dogs on the couch and if I'm working on something, I make sure to work downstairs in the kitchen to keep an eye on the dogs. If I'm eating dinner, I might give a tiny portion of my food to them as a little treat, but I'm aware of what is and isn't okay for them to eat. If you happen to be very strict on your dogs diet and are adamant on not allowing them to eat human food, I will make sure to keep that in mind and avoid doing so. I don’t allow drop-ins, but will care for your pet at your house.
Ratings and reviews
Anika did a great job watching my two pups again. I think this makes three times now. Great communication. Sent pictures and updates to let me know how things were going. Confident with taking my two 80# dogs for a walk. Will definitely use Anika again!
Anika is a very sweet and young lady who stay with coco and Moka for a few hours she was sending us pictures while she stayed home. I will recommend her
Anika was the most amazing sitter and I cannot recommend her enough. She took such wonderful care of Max and Molly and provided pictures and updates several times each day. She was very interactive and played with them and shared videos of them having the best time. I cannot express how happy we are to have found her and will definitely be requesting her from now on when we need to leave the puppies home.
Anika did a great job watching my 2 GS. Unfortunately one of them developed diarrhea it A ika dealt with the situation without any problems. She also provided me with many timely updates to let me know everything was going well. I would definitely recommend Anika for your dog sitting
