Safety, trust & environment

Since I am coming into the client and pets home I will make sure I do not rush into getting close to the pet so they are still comfortable. As for the home itself I like to make sure everything stays clean and stay respectful to peoples belongings.

Information Anika Z. would like to know about your pet

I am able to take care of any type of pet but to me it is important to know if they have any specific needs such as taking medication, not having them around other dogs on a walk, or how reactive they may be.

A typical day

Depending on the animal and energy level, I like to take them on walks or if they are able to runs. I will play with them and their toys. Overall make sure they are active and if they get tired I do not mind taking a nap with them.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with pets, mainly dogs, in my life. I make sure they get the right amount of food and exercise needed. I have a lot of patience with animals so I am willing to take the time, from puppies to seniors.

Anika is wonderful with pets. Russell had a good time.

Seemed kind in the beginning. When I returned from my weekend trip, my dog had fur missing and was unable to open her left eye. Before i left, she was perfectly fine. Anika denied noticing her eye but it was impossible to miss her entire eye being swollen shut.. I would be weary if I were you. She also took my blender attachment which is pretty sad, I have no problem gifting things had she expressed need.

Anika took care of our dog, Keri, and our home for 10 days land 9 nights. We came home to a contented pup. The weather was severely cold while we were away (many days well below zero degrees) and Anika was diligent about putting Keri’s warm jacket on her when she went outside to do her business in the yard or —- when it was sunny enough—when she took her for a walk. She sent us photos of Keri nearly every day. We plan to ask Anika to take care of Keri again in the future, and we highly recommend her as a dog (and house) sitter.
