Availability

I work full-time, with an 80% in-office requirement. I have enough flexibility though to make sure that your pup's needs are met consistently. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I have 50% custody of my Golden Retriever Kaiser. Since I'm sharing him with my ex-spouse, I have flexibility should you or your pup not be comfortable with another dog in the house.

Information Anika M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any medical needs, health issues, and behavioral information, for example: limited hip mobility, leash reactivity, jumpy, things your pup is afraid of/sensitive to, etc. Thank you :).

A typical day

I'm an active person myself so taking your dog for walkies is very easy for me to do. I usually walk mine at least 45 mins daily with additional time in my backyard and play time inside my house.

Dog Boarding in Quiet Home

Pet care experience

Hello fellow dog parents! My pet care experience comes from two places: I have an eight year-old Golden Retriever, Kaiser. And in 2021, I joined local bully breed dog rescue Save-A-Bull where I make myself available as a helper to full-time foster parents. I have had a good amount of pitties stay with me for a few days at a time, all ages & with varying degrees of medical needs. I have experiencing looking after senior dogs and I definitely have a soft spot for them! Looking forward to hearing from you! Anika

Anika took wonderful care of my nervous pup Freddy! I loved the pictures and updates throughout his stay and it felt so good to be confident that Freddy was so well taken care of while I was away. Freddy will definitely be staying with her again in the future!!

Anika and her dog Kaiser are great. Our dog Roscoe had the best time with them for a week. Anika is very responsive and flexible.
