Anna can care for
Availability
I am currently not working due to some chronic health issues so I am available to stay home with your pets during the day unless I have a doctor's appointment in which case your pets will be taken care of right before I go and immediately upon return. Weekends are open so we will spend the time together though I may go out for a few hours to run errands, visit a farmers market (if car rides & people are a plus for them, they can come with me), etc. but only if your pet is ok with being alone for that time and they will be cared for before I leave and as soon as I get back. Basically, your pet is my priority and I will work my schedule around them as much as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to spend the night with your animals, dogs or cats are more than welcome to snuggle up (I'm happy to love up on any of your pets but tiny scaly friends will obviously be back in the tank for the night). Water will always be available and food will be given according to your instructions; snacks are dependent on your approval and notes. Does your pet need a bath? Just hand me the shampoo. We will play or cuddle til their heart is content. If they enjoy walks or play time outside, they will absolutely get it (dogs will obviously get plenty of walk time). I'm happy to assist with brushing your dog, trimming cat nails or brushing them, brushing anyone's teeth, or giving medications.
Information Anna C. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting or walking, I would like to know if your pets have any anxieties (ex: barrier, stranger, dog, etc.), fears, aggression, etc. I'd also like to know of any health conditions that may pose any issues. Also let me know of your pet's general personality (ex: sleeps a lot, super high energy, etc.). None of these things will cause me to deny your baby; these facts simply help me give your pup (or cat, chinchilla, hamster, etc.) the most comfortable experience possible.
A typical day
I'm happy to chill at your home or take your babies to a park or trail. Whether a cat or dog, we will absolutely be playing together. A dog or cat (or any other animal) who cuddles is definitely a bonus! If your pet likes swimming, I'm happy to take them (preferably with a life jacket). Dog parks are always a blast if your dog is a fan. We can even go get a pup cup if they would enjoy it!

12+ years of pet experience
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Anna and I have been watching pets for other people for roughly 10 years now which includes dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and a chinchilla. I also volunteered at an animal shelter (where I have adopted 2 of my past dogs from) for a few years. It's just Marshall, my cat, now but over the years I have had or lived with several dogs and other cats. I have experience with dogs that have hip and leg issues, barrier aggression and anxiety, and separation anxiety. I also have experience training a deaf dog with hand signs. I have helped introduce pets on numerous occasions - dogs & cats, cats & cats, dogs & dogs. I've taken care of dogs and cats in all stages of life (the old-timers have my heart) so whether your baby is actually young or whether they are just young at heart, they will be handled with the utmost care. Breeds do not matter to me at all either, I have taken care of or been around many breeds and sizes, whether a chihuahua or mastiff, bully or Rottweiler, your fur child will be loved on.
Cat care experience
Anna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
