Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & fun dog person 🐾
I have over 35yrs experience in animal husbandry, having grown up on a farm. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs on palliative care who are in need of medication and special attention. I'm currently training in canine behaviour and have a rambunctious pup of my own keeping me on my toes! Sybil is very dog friendly and non territorial in the home. Together we love bonding over fun learning, adventures and plenty of cuddles! My approach is flexible, kind and clear with the dogs welfare as my top priority.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
What a magical experience. It's rare to feel totally comfortable leaving your little fur baby with a new person but thats how it felt with Anna. My little staffie had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave when I picked him up in the morning. I'll be recommending Anna to my other pet parent friends.
Anna watched our dog Atlas for 2 weeks over the holidays and I could not recommend her more! She asked a ton of questions to really understand Atlas’s temperament and schedule. Anna was also really diligent about ensuring proper care for Atlas’s arthritis. We felt confident that our pup was in good hands. Anna was very communicative and provided lots of updates - she’s clearly a true dog person and Atlas had a great time!
Anna was really great. Super flexible with arrangements and more importantly Mango loved her stay with her. When we came to pick her up he was playing in the garden and he'd eaten all her food which only happens when she is very comfortable in her environment. Anna has very large flat with garden, and I think Mango also loved to flop and sleep on the kitchen floor with its underfloor heating - a real winner on a winters night. Thanks again Anna - we'll be seeing you again.
Anna has looked after my boarder terrier Doris many times, and I have no hesitation that she will be exceptionally well cared for and looked after when ever she stays with Anna. Enjoying lots of lovely walks and trips out, generally just been included as if she were part of the family. I have also seen Anna give amazing love and care to her own dog before he passed, ensuring he had everything he could want to make his like as enjoyable as possible. I could not recommend anyone better to look after your dog!
You won find a safer pair of hands for your dog. Anna is highly experienced in all aspects of dog care, and is experienced with all breeds and all stages of their life. Anna is very professional and thoughtful, reliable and will take the best care of your dog.

Schedule
I am self employed so my work is flexible and not fixed. I am happy to work around the dogs I have to stay in my home and they will become a part of the family. I'm an active person and I love being out and about - especially with a dog in tow!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a split level basement flat with access to a small fenced garden (6ft high). Sybil, our staffie puppy lives with us and she is a very friendly, exuberant pooch! She loves other dogs, but is also respectful of their space - your dog must be friendly also. We have stairs but if your pooch has problems with these I am happy to lift them up and down (weight permitting!). The garden is small but they have access in and out as they please all day. We have a park at the end of the road and when we have doggy guests we will take them to the Heath, to Primrose Hill and make use of the wonderful open spaces we have at our disposal. If your dog enjoys galavanting about town then I will take them with me to different places, if they are a homebody or nervous, we shall stay at home. As much info as you can give me about how your dog behaves and what they love to do or don't love to do, will help me give them the best experience possible.

A typical day
Depending on what your pooch likes to do I love heading off around town to different parks and fun places to visit. I live near Hampstead Heath and love spending time there its a perfect place for a long dog walk! I work from home and very flexibly so I can incorporate long walks or trips out for social sniffs, or more sedate mooches to the park at the end of my road for the seniors. Having my own dog in the area, I'm very familiar with the local K9 crowd and their owners for friendly meet-ups and Sybil will be happy to play all day if they want to join in.
