Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional animal lover
I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from tiny newborn puppies to energetic Great Danes, as well as many cats with the variety of personalities they always display. As a result, I’m great at getting to know each pet individually and adapting to the different levels of care and affection they need. Previously, I was also a trainer for guide dogs in training under The Seeing Eye (based out of New Jersey, US). I’ve always had a reputation for being an “animal person” among friends and family. I recently completed an MSc in Veterinary Medical Sciences at the University of Calgary, and in the past have worked at several zoos, animal/nature centers, and farms, so my animal care experience is both honed and diverse. I see pet care as an incredibly rewarding experience and always strive to make sure the animals under my care are happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment
Since my own cat at home is a bit of a diva and wouldn’t be too appreciative of other furry friends, I am limited to pet care in my clients’ homes. I have a flexible schedule and previous experience house sitting, and am always happy to adjust to your pet’s daily routine. Communication is key! Let me know what you (and your pet) prefer.
Ratings and reviews
Anita took amazing care of our two boxers and two senior cats while we were away on a business trip. And our house was immaculate when we returned home! We definitely hope to book with her again in the future.
Anita took very good care of my dog and cat. She gave the cat plenty of space and was patient with her introvert ways. Nova even started to hang out in the same area as Anita towards the end of her stay. Anita was injured right before our booking but did not cancel and was positive and upbeat about it. I really appreciate the care she gave our pets. The house was clean and in order when we returned. I would not hesitate to ask Anita to stay with Abby and Nova again.
Anita was wonderful with our critters! She took great care of them and that says a lot because we have a pup with a lot of needs. Anita sent great updates and we felt secure with her being in our home. We will be using her again!
Anita is amazing! We will definitely book either her again!
Anita M. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
I truly cannot say enough great things about Anita. She is the most comprehensive dog sitter we’ve ever had. Never once did we worry if they were well taken care of. Thank you so much Anita.
