Animal Behaviorist & Dog Owner
Pet care experience
I began my dog care with my childhood dog who we had for 16 years. As an adult I have provided care for my dogs, friends, roommates, and family and have a PhD in Animal Behavior. I have a 5 year old beagle/cattle dog mix and she loves walking with other dogs. I am very active and take my dog out on long walks and I can do the same for yours or fulfill whatever needs they have. I have been on Rover since 2015 and have met a lot of great dogs and owners!!

Amazing at giving me notes on how my dog was acting and her behavior!
Anjali was great!
We were over the moon with our experience leaving our dog, Lizzy, with Anjali for the first time. As a highly anxious rescue, we were crossing our fingers about how she’d handle being away from home with someone new, but Anjali's warm and loving care put all our fears to rest. From the moment we met Anjali, we knew Lizzy would be in good hands. Her passion for animals and genuine kindness shone through, and Lizzy instantly warmed up to her. Anjali understood our dog's anxiety and tailored her experience accordingly. Daily walks were comfortable and confidence building, and Anjali even took Lizzy for special playtime at the beach, which she absolutely loved. Anjali has a wonderful dog named Nori, who became fast friends with our pup. Nori helped Lizzy come out of her shell and feel at ease in a new environment. And, Anjali kept us updated throughout her stay with photos and video, giving us peace of mind and letting us see how much fun she was having. We picked up a relaxed and happy dog who clearly had a wonderful time at Anjali's. We can't thank her enough for her exceptional care and for giving Lizzy a home away from home. If you're looking for a loving, trustworthy, and dedicated dog boarder, look no further than Anjali. We can't recommend her highly enough!
Anjali is the BEST. She exceeded our expectations. Unexpectedly, a week before Riley’s boarding he was diagnosed with an ulcerated eye and had to have meds three times a day and wear a cone while we were gone. Anjali was completely comfortable with administering the meds. Throughout the stay, she sent us numerous updates and photos which alleviated any stress of not being with him. And, he got lots of walks with her dog, Nori. The great news - thanks to Anjali’s care, Riley’s eye condition healed without further meds or treatment, and he got a clean bill of health for our Vet. Anjali’s attention to details and knowledge of dogs was a big reason for his recovery! We are immensely grateful to Anjali for being the perfect match for Riley during his time with Rover. Thank you for your exceptional care and dedication.

Information Anjali K. would like to know about your pet

I love to make stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I will use all walks as training moments, keeping your pups attention on me as much as possible. I use enrichment items with my dog and am happy to do that for yours as well. I am an active person and love walking dogs.
