Leaving Rover for new job 7/24
Pet care experience
I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments - and even some experience with chickens and guinea pigs! I have the most experience with dogs from solo walks, pack walks, and doggy daycare in both small home settings and a larger corporate setting - plus from raising my own 2 y.o. border collie mix from when she was a wee babe ❤️ Several clients have been surprised by how quickly their cat or dog warmed up to me. I guess animals like my mellow demeanor 😊
Reviews
Anna was great! I will definitely book with her again
Anna is attentive and wonderful with my cat. She is communicative; which is helpful when I’m away. Feel great leaving my kitties in her care.
Anna is the best!!
Anna is very responsible, dependable and an excellent communicator. Rex loves walking with her and Penny!.
About Anna F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I require meet and greets for dogs for my safety and the comfort of your dog - they probably don't appreciate a stranger showing up when their human is away! This means new dog clients will likely need to book at least 2 days in advance, while recurring clients can book only 1 day in advance. I prefer not to take clients' pets to dog parks because of the unpredictability of the environment. If your dog needs play time, I would recommend doing a meet-and-greet with my heeler-border collie pup, or I can play fetch and tug-of-war with them. I do not let dogs off leash except in securely enclosed areas, or if they are very slow and in a quiet neighborhood. I am attentive to whether they are eating anything they shouldn't and whether they are exhibiting any signs of illness or injury.
Information Anna F. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any allergies? Are they leash trained? What is their play style? Is there anything in particular that makes them nervous or reactive? Are there any training goals I can help you with? If so, what commands and rewards do they respond to?
A typical day
Each pet is unique! If yours really just needs cuddles, I'm happy to sit and pet them. If they need a lot of exercise, I love walks, hikes, and play time, too!
