Pet care experience
When you go out of town, why not give your dog a vacation? My name is Anna and I’ve owned dogs for 30 years. Before starting my own pet sitting business two years ago, I was a horseback riding instructor and drove horse carriages in downtown Boston part time. Through working with horses, I realized the trick to working with all animals was calm assertive energy. I’ve had a few clients and many family members call me the animal whisperer throughout my life and I take that title very seriously. I believe all animals have a voice and it’s our responsibility as stewards of the earth to nurture and love our pets, while also teaching them how to cohabitate nicely with their two legged counterparts. Whether I’m with just my dogs or have guest pups over, my home revolves around a daily schedule of cuddling, feeding, training, exercising and loving. We like to play fetch in the yard, go for long hikes in the Fells and practice staying calm when the doorbell goes off (it’s a daily struggle)! If I sound like a good fit for you, please don’t hesitate to write. Have a great day! Anna
Reviews
Anna was super sweet!! She came a few days prior to meet my dog and get the key. Took care of everything, including giving my dog meds. Will re-book her again for sure.
Anna did a great job watching our elderly Boston terrier. She was professional the whole time and our little guy was in great shape when we got home! She left our home in great condition too!
Consistently fantastic!
Anna is walking Harper for me while my usual dog walker is out of commission because of a surgery. I know Harper is in great hands with Anna & her husband. I get great updates, pictures, and details after each walk. Harper LOVES playing with their dog, Scout, too!

A typical day
As often as possible my dogs and I are on a hike through the Fells, starting at Sheepfold and walking along the reservoir. We also have play time in the mornings when the dogs are allowed on the bed with their toys and sporadic fun outside in our large backyard. If we’re not in the woods, we’re on a long walk through the neighborhood, or having pillow fits in the living room. When your dog is here, they’ll be treated like a member of the household, loved and expected to help out with the dishes. ?
