Your Pup’s New Best Friend 🐾
I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anitra is someone I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable person to care for their pets. She has been walking dogs for many years and has personally walked both of my dogs in the past, so I have seen firsthand how responsible and caring she is.Anitra is a huge dog lover and truly treats the animals in her care like they are her own. She is mature, dependable, punctual, and someone you can count on to show up when she says she will. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs’ safety and well-being. Anyone who chooses Anitra to care for their pets can feel confident knowing they are in loving, responsible hands.
Best, most attentive dog walker we have had. Mr. Pickle gets so excited to see Anitra. We're happy to have her on a regular schedule. Highly recommend!
Anitra was wonderful with Cooper, our Labradoodle! She was responsible, caring, and clearly treated him like one of her own. Cooper was happy and well cared for, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such loving hands. We highly recommend Anitra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver! www.CooperPup.com
Anitra was a huge help with my pup while we were on vacation! We needed someone for our pup while we were away for a week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better match! Fantastic communication, great personality, very organized and helpful, and just overall amazing. Will absolutely reach out to Anitra again when I need help with my pets.
I couldn’t recommend Anitra more highly as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She has such a natural way with animals and genuinely treats every pet as if they were her own. She is attentive, patient, dependable, and incredibly loving. Anitra has helped care for my dog for the last 4 years and I have complete peace of mind leaving my pet in her care because I know she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s also responsible and communicative, which makes her someone you can truly count on. Any pet would be lucky to have Anitra looking after them, and I trust her completely with my own pet. She would be an amazing Rover sitter!

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
A typical day
A typical day will really depend on what your dog enjoys! We can spend time playing fetch in the backyard, taking neighborhood walks, exploring some of the great trails near my house, playing with favorite toys, or just enjoying some fresh air outside. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, there's plenty of time for lounging, belly rubs, snuggles, and relaxing with us inside. While you're away, my goal is to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship so they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home until you're back!

- The more I know about your pup, the better I can care for them! Please tell me about their personality, normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, special needs, fears, and any funny little quirks I should know about. Since I do have children in my home, dogs staying with us must be comfortable and safe around kids. I'd also like to know how they do with other dogs, walks, being left alone for short periods, and any history of aggression, escaping, chewing, marking, or other behaviors I should be prepared for. Please don't worry that sharing any of these things automatically means I won't care for your dog! I appreciate owners being open with me so I can make sure I'm prepared and provide the safest, most comfortable experience possible for your pup and everyone in our home.
