Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & safe home for dachshunds
A lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with dogs in my family, have owned dogs as an adult, and now myself and my husband Owen share our life with Bruce, our lovable and friendly dapple Dachshund. From walks and playtime to feeding, training, grooming, vet visits and administering medication (when needed), I’m confident and comfortable with all aspects of dog care.

Ratings and reviews
Anna was absolutely fantastic with Milo today. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she and her husband genuinely loves and understands dogs and welcomes them into their home as part of the family. Milo had the best time playing non-stop with Bruce, and it was wonderful to know he had such great company throughout the day. Anna was incredibly attentive, keeping a close eye on his water intake and toilet breaks, and making sure he was comfortable and settled. We especially appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us real peace of mind and showed just how happy Milo was. It was also lovely to see how caring she was during his rest time, ensuring he was comfortable and never far from her. Anna is warm, personable, and clearly passionate about providing the very best care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter, especially for miniature Daschund’s.
Honestly couldn't be happier leaving my dog kenzo here! Anna and her partner were lovely and so attentive. Kenzo absolutely loved their dog Bruce, and they had the best time. If anything Kenzo wasn't too fussed on leaving. They were great with giving him his food and meds, and I had no worries being away. Couldn't have asked for anymore! Would definitely book again in the future. Thanks again guys!

Schedule
As a full-time remote working professional, I'm home throughout the day - so pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. Mornings start early with a walk, breakfast, and some time in the garden for play/ cuddles. I'm always local on weekends, which makes me flexible and reliable. If your pet is social and enjoys adventures, we love taking them on our outings for added enrichment. I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends, and we treat every pet like our family.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
A safe, loving, and enriching home where your pet will be treated like one of our own. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers lounging around, I tailor the experience to their comfort and needs. ✅ Safety & Trust First Your pet's wellbeing is our top priority. I have a secure setup with a dog gate inside the front door and removable gates on the stairs to prevent any accidents. Our home is pet-friendly, with ramps and steps for small breeds (like Dachshunds) or seniors needing extra support. 🛏️ Home Comforts Pets are allowed on all furniture and can sleep in the bed if that’s what they’re used to - cuddles always welcome! If your dog prefers their own space, we also have clean, comfy dog beds and crates available. 🌿 Freedom to Explore We’re just around the corner from Thompson and Victoria Park, perfect for daily walks and playtime. At home, we leave the back door open (when weather allows), so pets can enjoy our enclosed garden at their leisure. 💦 Hydration & Health Water bowls and a pet fountain are available both inside and out to ensure your dog stays refreshed throughout the day. 🚗 Adventures Included We have secure dog car seats for safe, fun outings when the weather’s nice or if we’re headed to the park. I'd love to meet you and your dog(s)! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet.

A typical day
Physical and mental stimulation is important to us and our dog Bruce. We can tailor all visits based on your dog's needs, whether that's preparing nutritional licky mats, filling up kongs, a play session in the house/garden or a stimulating walk around Thompson's or Victoria park just around the corner from my house. A fun stay is always at play.
