Peace of mind, large fenced yard
Pet care experience
Between fostering and adopting, I have cared for dogs for over ten years. I understand the need to have a trustworthy pet sitter that follows your specific directions and provides peace of mind. I work from home so your pup will spend very little time alone. We have a large fenced yard and enough indoor space for your dog to relax. A free meet and greet let's you get to know me and my dog care style, and is a great chance for me to learn all about your pet. You should feel completely comfortable when entrusting your furry family member to a care provider. There is one small child in the home. She is gentle and respectful towards pets however she will never be unsupervised with our dog or yours. We still require that your dog not be overly fearful or aggressive toward children out of an abundance of caution. There is one dog friendly dog in the home. She can be playful or keep her distance. Your dog needs to be at least tolerant of other dogs. Dogs are always fed separately and sleep separately at night or if we leave the house.
Reviews
Anna was great with Roya, who has pretty severe separation anxiety. She made my pup feel comfortable, we’ll be using her again!
Anna was wonderful with our new rescue pup. She came to meet with her (and us!) before hand and was incredibly in tune with our dog's personality, needs, and comfort level. Our dog came back from her stay with Anna very happy and settled right back into our regular routine. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone needing to leave their dog in someone else's care! I know we will use her again for sure.
Anna was great! Very flexible and responsive. She let us know when she was there and when she leaving, even got a picture update! Highly recommend.
Anna loves dogs. Mine didn't want to leave. lovely space.

Separation anxiety? Fears or triggers? Medical needs or allergies? Favorite treats, toys, games or type of exercise? Potty trained? Crate trained? Quirky habits - does he love to swallow socks? How does your dog interact with other dogs? Are there types of behaviors from other dogs that might upset yours? (herding, humping, toy sharing etc)

Each pet is unique so each stay will be as well. I will follow your guidelines for the types of activities your pet enjoys and that you are comfortable with. We have a large fenced backyard where play and exercise will take place.

Anna can host
Availability
I am home full time. I may leave the house for 2-3 hours at a time but am otherwise available to let dogs in and out of the house and provide attention. We are unable to accommodate dogs who can not be left alone safely for at least 2 hours (safely in a crate or safely in a room without destructive behaviors). We will do anything we can to accommodate your dog and make them comfortable!
