Highlights
Pet care experience
With paw-prints in my heart
For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anya is great. She loves my dogs so much and takes such great care of them! She checks in with me constantly and sends pictures so I’m not missing too much. Having someone who can deal with my anxious dogs makes leaving them so much easier!
Anna was AMAZING! So thankful we were able to leave our dog with her. He always gets sick to stomach after/when we are gone. He had no problems!! With this I am certain she kept him calm and stress free! It was such a joy to have someone who understood his behavior and used effective ways to help him stay calm!
I hate to leave a review and share our secret spot but... Anna was amazing with our skittish/grumpy mini dachshund. She walked, played with, and even did training with her. We received many pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog received so much attention and toy play that she came home and slept for about 3 days! We will definitely use Anna again!
I cannot recommend Anna W. enough! She has looked after our dog, Funia, a couple of times while we were traveling, and she is simply wonderful. It is immediately clear that Anna has a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to dog care; we always felt completely at ease leaving Funia in her capable hands. Every time we returned, Funia was well-cared for, happy, and relaxed. It was such a relief to have that peace of mind while we were away. Anna is not only professional and reliable but also genuinely kind and easy to work with. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Anna is the one!
Anna is such an incredibly warm and loving person. I recently watched as she helped transform an 80 pound GSP in a single walk. This dog would pull and jump on the leash during walks. After just one walk with him he was walking calmly by her side. She is patient with both the human and the fur baby, gently guiding them both to a state of calm. She backs up her training techniques with deep knowledge about different breeds, training techniques, and of course her love for animals that is clear with how she interacts with them. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets. She is loving, patient and very knowledgable.
I’ve known Anna for many years. We first met at the gym where she would often bring her two dogs George and Soho. I immediately knew we’d become fast friends when I saw how she interacted with her two furry friends. I could immediately tell that she cared a lot about her dogs’ physical and mental well-being often taking them for long walks in the city and setting clear boundaries with their behavior. As a result, George and Soho were well socialized and got along with everyone at the gym. As a pet owner myself, I often asked Anna for pointers on how to train my own dog, recommendations for vet clinics, and ideal snacks for best nutrition. She was always willing to share her knowledge, and from our conversations, she demonstrated a deep understanding of animal behavior. I wholeheartedly endorse Anna as a pet walker and pet sitter and am confident that she can provide professional and conscientious service to any animal under her care.

Schedule
Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
Pets
A typical day
Our day usually starts with a nice stroll around the neighborhood with the pups, they get to do their business and check out the latest gossip on puppy social media. Once we're back, we all get some exercise in - one pup on the treadmill while the other practices being patient. After our workout, we have a little pampering session with nail filing, ear cleaning, and some spa therapy. Then it's time for breakfast, teeth brushing, and a well-deserved nap. If we have any furry visitors needing some extra attention, we have plenty of snuggles, massages, and tasty chews to offer. In the afternoons, we love going on long walks together, usually covering 5-10 miles. I enjoy listening to audiobooks while the pups explore new sights and sounds. When we get back home, we work on our doggie homework from training classes, learning new tricks and skills.
