Pet care experience

My home is your pet's best vacation

I grew up on a farm. My mom rescued animals, so caring for animals is a right of passage in my family. It's not a "side hustle" for me. It's my passion, my dream, my purpose. I have a degree in Psychology, own two businesses and I'm a mom of two amazing kids. I have five shih tzus at the moment along with a variety of exotic animals. I have tons of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, turtles (both aquatic and land), and fish. When I encounter a new species, I go over and beyond to learn everything about them and spare no expense to make sure they thrive and happy. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs, post-up recovery, medications, bathing, daily brushing, grooming, nail trims, etc. Your babies are my babies and they will be looking forward to play time with me, giving you a peace of mind while you have to be away. 🥰

Very responsive and sent plenty of video updates! Finn was exhausted the whole next day from all of the fun that he had.

What a sweet Rover sitter! I got SO many videos with Ada roaming the backyard. Ada was a happy girl coming back home and loved her time with Anita. I can't wait to come back!

Anita took wonderful care of my two dogs! She sent daily photo/video updates, and they seemed genuinely comfortable staying with her. I would have her keep them again!

Anita was great with our puppy, Hazel! She was so kind and you can tell she loves and cares for animals! She sent multiple videos while we were away! She has a great home, filled with all you could need for a dog. I would def recommend Anita for boarding! :)

Anita was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My 7-month-old puppy Hank was in a cone and needed eye drops, and she had no problem accommodating — she handled it all like a pro. She also sent tons of videos throughout the stay, which was so reassuring, especially with him recovering. I could tell Hank was happy and in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend Anita and will definitely book with her again!

Schedule

I own my own house cleaning business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I'm working mostly in a 15 minute radius, and I have cameras in every room, so I can check in on my babies and drop by if they need me.
