I coach club volleyball and we have practice two times a week from 5-7pm and then tournaments on some weekends. I work at the Southdale Mall a couple of days a week. Monday-Thursday are from 9-2 and if I work on the weekends it is about an 8 hour shift. Other than that, I go to the gym for an hour or so each day. I go on a walk everyday, so if they like walks I would love to bring them along!

Safety, trust & environment

When I stay at owner’s houses to watch their pets, I stick to whatever schedule the dog is used to. Including walks, play time, feeding schedule, medication.

Information Anika W. would like to know about your pet

Anything is pretty good with me, I haven’t come across any issues before. If you are currently training, let know so we can keep it up while you are away.

A typical day

We can go for a walk around the block or to a park. If your dog likes to run, we can go for a fun run. I like to play with any toys they have or just sit there and pet them if that’s what they like.

Pet care experience

I will care for your dog however they like, whether it be going for a run or just sitting on the couch. I have dog sit for a variety of dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I am a volleyball coach which includes practice 2x a week and some tournaments, but in between that I will make the time to love and care for your animals! I do not have any pets of my own, but always did wish I had a dog. Overall I love animals and helping people, so this is a very well fit job. I hope I can help you stay stress free while you are away from your fur babies :) I usually work 3 hours in the morning/early afternoon during the week, have practice for 3 hours 2x a week, go the gym about an hour a day, and when I have tournaments, I will be gone around 8 hours.

I hired Anika to take care of my 2 cats and 1 anxious dog in my house. This was my first time leaving my pets and the first time giving a stranger access to my house while I was away. Anika was wonderful. She sent me pictures of my pets and I could tell they were super at ease with her. Next time I travel I’ll reach out to Anika for pet care for sure!
