Pet care experience

Loving and reliable dog mom!

Dog Boarding: your dog will be well cared for in a loving, fun, vibrant apartment! I work from home full-time, so they will get plenty of attention. He/she will have the company of my sweet 11 year old Maltipoo, Kirby (12lbs). Kirby and I take 3 walks a day: one first thing in the morning, in the afternoon and right before bed. We can adapt to your dog’s walking schedule and needs. I only accept house-trained pets (pee-pad trained is ok too!). Dogs can sleep in bed with me and are allowed on furniture. They will get lots of love and cuddles! Drop-ins: I can only do drop in visits to homes with free parking. If you work long hours or have to go out of town for the day, I’m always happy to pop in and give your pets some much needed social time! I can take them out for walks, play with them, feed them, change their water and any other light tasks they may need! I also love cats 🐈 House Sitting: everyone’s needs are different so send me a message so I can better discuss yours! I do have experience house sitting and caring for pets while their parents are away. I can care for your plants and do light housework if needed. I work from home so I would require a high-speed internet connection. Please let me know in your booking request if I am able to bring my dog. ****Please note that I have an un-neutered male dog and cannot board any female dogs that have not been spayed. I also do not accept intact males.**** Working from home means I am able to give them lots of attention. Weekends are usually spent at home if I have a dog with me. I may step out for a couple of hours to run errands unless your fur baby has separation anxiety. My dog Kirby is well socialized and used to being around other dogs and cats. You will receive regular updates and pictures while your pet is with me.

Can't even begin to explain how happy we are to have found Niki! One of the best dog sitters we've ever had. So happy to have her and are already making more plans to send our dogs back! Would 100% recommend booking with Anika if you want someone who treats your pets with so much love. Great updates and photos which put me at ease the whole trip!

First time user of Rover. Loved the communication and very responsive. A little leery at first with our 7 month Yorkie but he seemed happy and came back tired which for him is a good thing. Based on this experience definitely use Rover and Annika again.

Anika looked after Lucy very well, we enjoyed seeing the pics. No issues with Lucy afterward she was her usual self at home. Anika accommodated a change in our plans for pickup without problem, we are very appreciative of that. Thanks so much for caring for our little one.

Anika is the best! This is the second time Mylo has stayed with Anika and Kirby and I could not be happier. Anika is extremely kind & professional, she took the time to understand Mylo’s needs and make sure we were all comfortable with the arrangement. Great communication, I always get updates and photos during his stay. I will definitely be booking again!

I work full time from home so your pets will always have me around. I will usually take my little guy out for a walk before I start work, at lunch, after work, and again before bed.
