Dog-cuddler professional!

Pet care experience

I have volunteered for pet rescues for a number of years, including FETCH here in Madison, WI), doing transports of animals, home visits, and short-term fostering. I grew up with dogs and I had a very sweet mutt-baby for almost 9 years, who recently passed away. I am looking to spend a lot of time with dogs before adopting again. I am happy to come to your home or take your dog into mine while you are away (dogs are allowed at my apartment building.) I value ROVER because I believe a home is where a dog should be, not a kennel. I am mostly looking for weekend baby-sitting and short-term (less than a week) gigs. I work full-time (7:30-5pm) M-F, and often have rehearsals (I'm a local musician) in the evenings, but can be flexible evenings and weekends for babysitting pups (I can also stop home at lunch to let the baby out.)

Anitra did an amazing job with my pups. I am very protective and worry constantly about them when I am gone and she put my mind at ease. When she first met them she was so sweet to both of them I knew she would be a grest person to hire. I highly recommend her.

Anitra has volunteered with animal rescue for many years and is comfortable around all animals. She cares for them as if they are her own and will reinforce the house rules your pet is accustomed to. I highly recommend Anitra for your pet sitting needs.

Anitra has taken care of my pup, Tessa, on several occasions. Tessa is not an inherently easy dog (high energy/leash reactive) and Anitra is able to work through those issues. I know that we all don't trust our dogs with "just anyone" but I also don't trust "just anyone" with my dog's advanced issues and Anitra can rise to that occasion. Reliable and knowledgeable about dogs and all the issues that can arise with them, I recommend Antira for dog-sitting without reservation!

Information Anitra H. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs! My only preference is that the dog is okay with other dogs, friendly to people and listens when given commands (like "stay" and "no" and "come.") I am not able to help folks with dogs with separation anxiety or excessive barking/whining or who have behavior problems (mostly aggression and biting.)

A typical day

We will walk around my neighborhood, lots of dogs and beautiful prairie land behind the buildings. I like to take dogs for car rides and let them hang their heads out the window. I also like to take them to patios where we can sit and meet nice people and maybe watch some live music. I do not take dogs to dog parks nor do I let them off-leash.
