Highlights
Pet care experience
A Fellow Dog & Cat Purr-son
For the past three years, I’ve been the trusted dog and cat sitter for friends and family, managing everything from high-energy park outings to strict medication and feeding routines. I am a 25 year old graduate student with a very active lifestyle as I'm currently training for a 5k, so I’m always happy to take your pup on a longer, more vigorous walk if they have energy to burn! I love nothing more than to play and care for peoples pets- they provide so much happiness to their owners lives, it’s only right to do everything I can to achieve the same for them.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a "home-away-from-home" experience that is rooted in safety and emotional security. I understand that entering a private space is a significant gesture of trust, so I maintain a high degree of integrity and professional maturity, qualities I have honed as a Master of Social Work student. My approach begins with a meticulous adherence to the owner's established routines; whether it is managing complex feeding schedules or following specific medication windows, I ensure that every detail is executed "without missing a beat" to minimize any stress the animal might feel in their owner's absence. To build a true environment of trust, I focus on clear, consistent communication and proactive safety. I am highly observant of the home environment—ensuring "door-dashers" stay secure and that all surroundings are safe—while providing real-time updates to owners so they can feel at peace. Beyond the logistics, I am deeply attuned to the pet's emotional well-being. If an animal is experiencing separation anxiety, I utilize my background in identifying needs to provide a calming, patient presence and dedicated companionship. By combining my physical stamina for active play and walks with a calm, empathetic demeanor, I ensure every pet feels safe, engaged, and loved while in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Anjeli did a great job taking care of our dog, cat and house! She is trustworthy and was super responsive! The house looked better than when we left!
Anjeli is super nice and reliable. Really cares about my dog, Clementine, and kept her great company while I was out of town!
Pepper had such a great experience with Anjeli. I honestly could not have asked for someone better to watch him. From the beginning she was very communicative, kind, and clearly cared a lot about making sure Pepper was comfortable while I was away. They sent updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. Pepper can be a little particular with new people but she warmed up to her and looked relaxed and happy in every update. It was obvious she was being well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.
Anjeli is a great dog sitter. She once took care of my friend's dog Groot as I was away for an hour. She fed him properly on time, and took him on a nice walk. She is good at knowing how dogs feel and giving them love.
I was honestly so worried about leaving my 8 year old Yorkie but Anjeli was just wonderful... He is very stubborn and she actually took the time to wrap his morning pill in a slice of turkey deli meat just like I asked so he wouldn't spit it out on the rug. I also really appreciated that she brought my mail and packages inside from the porch for me. She texted me nice clear pictures of him eating his dinner every night so I could actually relax on my trip... thank you Anjeli!!
Anjeli has been a close friend of mine for over 10 years, and I can confidently say that if I had pets, I would trust her with them! She is one of the kindest, sweetest, most caring people I know, and I know that your lovely fur babies are in good hands with her. She is definitely one to follow the rules if you were to give her rules to follow regarding your pet. She is also extremely respectful of everyone and everything. One thing that I think you should know if she has not already mentioned it is that she is currently pursuing a higher education to become a therapist, and I bring this up because I think this should show you just the type of person she is!

Schedule
My schedule offers the consistency and flexibility needed for reliable mid-day, evening, and weekend care. As a Master of Social Work student at VCU, I have structured my academic commitments to ensure I am available for regular mid-day walks, providing your pets with dependable exercise and companionship when they need it most. Because I am a local resident and maintain a disciplined routine, I am both physically ready and highly motivated to be a steady presence for your pets' daily needs. My status as a graduate student ensures a level of professional maturity and a stable weekly calendar that translates to peace of mind for pet owners.
