Pet care experience

Kind, Calm, and Consistent Dog Care

Hi! I have 5 years of hands on experience caring for a high energy, excitable dog. Because of that, I understand how important structure, consistency, and clear rules are for a dog’s safety and well being. I focus on calm, controlled walks, reinforcing good behavior, and meeting each dog’s individual needs physically and mentally. Your dog will get reliable care, proper exercise, and respectful boundaries while you’re away. You’ll also receive multiple photo updates of your dog each day for peace of mind.

Anika is fantastic and Finn has so much fun at her house. They do walks twice a day and he plays and snuggles with Emi. I think he’s sad to come home.

Anika treated Finn so well, shared pictures and gave us frequent updates. We’ve already booked Finn’s next stay.

I have no words for Anika. She literally went over & beyond when taking care of Dallas during such a stressful time in my life. A lot of what I do requires last minute movement & she not only was tentative but also did a great job of communicating, on top being warm & welcoming. She treated Dallas with so much love, I could tell once I got home he didn’t skip a beat. THANK YOU Anika. I hope I can find another you once we move!

Anika is a truly devoted and compassionate pet parent who brings patience, kindness, and confidence to every dog she works with. She understands dogs of all personalities and meets each one with genuine care. Her own dog is a friendly, high‑energy pup who is wonderfully well managed, and her experience with him shows just how committed she is to creating a positive, structured, and loving environment. Any dog in her care is in excellent hands

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure, fenced yard and a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd who is friendly and can be a great companion for your dog when appropriate. Inside my home, I have a crate and play pen available if needed. Dogs spend time in the common living areas, are welcome to relax and cuddle on the couch, and are always supervised. I maintain a clean, structured environment and can follow your dog’s specific schedule and routines.

For drop-in visits, if the owner is away on vacation, I require a minimum of three visits per day. For crated dogs or puppies, I require at least four visits per day. These minimums are in place to ensure your dog’s health, safety, and overall well-being while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
