I will love your pup as my own!

Pet care experience

I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and ages. I have 8 years experience taking care of an American Hairless Terrier on a semi- or daily basis, including his last year with terminal liver cancer. Miles was my best friend and I miss my baby boy every day. ❤️ I started fostering dogs in 2018 and have been fostering since (on and off during the pandemic). The dogs I have fostered vary from a 1-year old husky/border collie mix, through senior dachshunds, all the way to my most recent foster dog having a surprise litter of puppies. I took care of mom and puppies pretty much single-handedly for 8 weeks. There is nothing that makes me happier than going for walks, playing and seeing doggo happiness. I worked as a dog walker for nearly a year and received training on proper leash walking and behaviour. I watch dog training videos for fun multiple times a week. I also completed a six-week obedience training with my first foster dog. I took care of a Pomeranian the day of his neuter and administered his pain medication and the cone of shame. I have taken care of a senior foster shin tzu as well for 3 months. I will keep your pup company so they aren't lonely, take them for a walk to get all the sniffs, and play with them until my arms fall off. :)

Anya was wonderful with our dog Luna, very attentive, responsive, and personable. We would absolutely book with her again. ?

Anja was amazing with my hyper pug pup, Romee was crying to go back haha. She sent me tons of pictures and updates. Your doggo is in extreme good (and patient) hands with Anja

10/10! I could not recommend Anja more to take care of your pooch! Anja was so responsive, and took into consideration all of my rescues needs. Even took time for a meet and greet and let me see her home where Jasper would be staying. She did such a good job for him and I to feel at ease and he had a great time while we were away! Her updates were impeccable and I had no worries at all. I definitely will be reaching out to Anja when I need Jasper entrusted with someone!

Anja was so sweet and lovely! She was incredibly flexible and patient with my dogs. She is the best dog sitter we have ever had on Rover and would definitely re book. I felt that she really cared about my pups and sent lots of updates. Really glad we found her!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks by the canal and offer enrichment such as puzzles to those interested or high-energy doggos. When it comes to seniors, I take my time letting them explore their daily sniffs.

I’m currently working part time (Wednesday to Friday) so I can only provide potty breaks in the morning and after work (8 hours). I tend to take dogs for a walk in the morning on work days, depending on their energy levels and individual needs. I am home for the rest of the week!
