Pet care experience
Growing up on a lively farm with a rescue beagle, a German shepherd, and a variety of other animals, I developed a deep-rooted love and understanding for all creatures great and small. My life was filled with the joys and responsibilities of caring for dogs, pigs, goats, donkeys, and chickens, instilling in me a profound comfort and skill in animal care. Now residing in Boulder, I've dedicated over a year and a half to volunteering at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where I've honed my expertise in dog walking and foster care. Although I occasionally open my heart and home to foster dogs, I ensure full commitment and attention to my pet sitting duties, promising your furry friend will not share their space with a foster sibling. My life has been a testament to my passion for walking and caring for dogs, making me the ideal companion for your beloved pet. Let me share my love and dedication with your dog, ensuring they receive the utmost care and joy in your absence.
Reviews
Anika is amazing! She is thoughtful, kind & caring. She took excellent care of our pup (and our house) while we were away. She sent updates and photos. We were impressed!
So great!! Anika asked good questions and was interested to hear everything I wanted to share about Blue Bear’s care. I felt totally comfortable leaving my sweet pup with her, and when I picked her up she seemed happy and well exercised. I’ll definitely use Anika again.
Our pup had a great time with Anika! Awesome communication, very responsible and helpful. Thanks so much!
Anika is lovely and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your pet will enjoy the freedom to feel as comfortable and loved as they do in their own. With full access to my apartment, they're welcome on the furniture and even to snuggle in bed if that's where they're happiest. Should I need to step out, I ensure they're left for no more than 3 hours, and I cater to their comfort, whether they prefer being crated or roaming freely in my room. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create a nurturing environment that feels like a second home.

A typical day
I'm passionate about keeping dogs active and engaged, and believe that both physical and mental exercises are essential for their well-being. I love taking long walks and am more than happy to go for runs if your dog enjoys a faster pace. For mental stimulation, I incorporate enrichment activities into our routine, such as using Kongs filled with treats and lick mats to keep them entertained and mentally sharp. My aim is to ensure your dog has a fun, fulfilling experience every time we're together.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, as my passion for animals and my flexible schedule create the perfect blend for dedicated dog sitting. Having recently graduated from the University of Colorado and now navigating the application process for medical school, I find myself working from home about 20 hours a week. This arrangement not only provides ample time for focused work but also grants me the liberty to take frequent breaks. These breaks are the highlight of my day, allowing me to engage in walks or even runs, ensuring both I and any pup in my care stay active and happy. My active lifestyle and love for the outdoors mean I'm always eager for the next adventure, be it a leisurely stroll or a heart-pumping run, depending on what your dog enjoys. In short, pet care is not just a task on my to-do list; it's a joyful and enriching part of my daily and weekly routine, perfectly complementing my active and flexible lifestyle.
