First time here? This link offers $20 off your first booking with Rover, wether with me or another sitter: https://www.rover.com/sit/ankaw 👩🏼🦳 Experienced dog owner, rescue volunteer and foster. 🐕 ---Sadly, I am not prepared to safely care for a dog that has significant behavioral challenges.--- ❤️🧡 💜 If you are undergoing a life altering event (loss, divorce, homelessness, domestic violence, etc, please contact me for sliding scale rates). 🎗️ 💔🏥 I will treat your dog with all the attention and care I gave my own! I will reinforce any behavioral techniques you use with your dog, but also give them love and affection! I understand how important exercise is for a dog's mental and physical health and will be happy to tire them out! I currently volunteer with a rescue and have fostered. Previously, I volunteered at my local SPCA for 2 years where I received extensive training on how to work with dogs, half wraps, prong collars, gentle leader, etc. My experience ranges from puppies to service dogs and yorkies to german sheperds. I have experience caring for a dog that is reactive with other dogs. I can provide medication administration and physical exercise/range of motion.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small patio for outdoor space. My home is safe with little opportunities for a dog to get into trouble! It's a low chemicals and low scent home.
Ratings and reviews
Anka is a great house sitter! She always leaves our place clean, with dishes/linens used in the wash. And most importantly, our dogs LOVE her. She keeps us updated with pics and handles snafus (getting into the garbage -our fault!) with grace and care. And she makes sure our girls get plenty of time outside. She also easily coordinates with my friend when we need a mid-day walker when she has a long work day. Highly recommend Anka to care for your pets & home
Anka was an excellent housesitter with our two dogs. We had to find last minute care over the week of Christmas when our other care fell through, and Anka made herself available for a meet & greet with very short notice. She sent us daily pics & updates, and we came home to a very clean house just as we left it, and with two very happy pups who are usually quite a bit more stressed when we have to travel without them. She took them to the park and on adventures, and coordinated well with my friend who walked them when Anka had longer work shifts. I will absolutely be contacting Anka again when we need care for our babies!
Anka was so helpful, communicative, and quickly adjusted to the needs of Leyla! My dog has high energy and also has trouble settling. Anka did a great job of adjusting to help Leyla be calm, and was very attentive to all of her needs! Leyla was very loved!
This was the first time Nala stayed over night with someone who she didn’t know since she was a puppy. Nala has some separation anxiety and I felt so at ease leaving her. Anka was responsive and very affectionate. Nala had an amazing time with Anka this past weekend. Both Nala and I were very lucky to have come across Anka.
Anka was Amazing! I am so happy we found her. We will definitely be using her again for any future needs!
The best dog sitter I've ever had. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
