Pet care experience
Native Austinite, Proven Dog Pro!
Howdy, y’all! I’m Anna. I was born and raised right here in the heart of Austin, making me one of the rare native Austinites. I've been caring for animals for nearly three decades. When I lived in Nashville (once upon a time, I was a touring musician), I had the opportunity to work at Bonaparte's Retreat, a local dog rescue, where I eventually became Lead Handler. We regularly cared for and rehabilitated dogs from a wide range of challenging and traumatic situations, helping prepare them for loving forever homes. It was there that my love of animals grew into a profession that I have carried with me ever since. I have received professional training in: • Pet First Aid • Pet CPR • Senior Pet Care • Medication Administration • Dog Behavior • Dog Training • High-Energy Dog Management • Safety Protocols Today, I provide attentive, reliable, and loving care rooted in experience, intuition, and genuine connection. Whether your pet needs a neighborhood stroll, extra patience, medication support, or simply a trusted companion while you're away, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I'm privately bonded and insured, as well as certified in Pet CPR, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I can't wait to meet your pups and give them the adventure, comfort, and care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment
I am detail oriented, proactive, and communicative. Honestly, every pet I meet is a child I treat as my own. I don't take lightly the trust you place in me when caring for your pets! I currently offer walks and drop-in services, and you can rest assured that I will treat both your home and your fur kids with the respect, love, and dedication they deserve. I also live for taking pictures of pets, so I'm known for sending "too many" photos and updates. Is there really such a thing?
Ratings and reviews
If you want a caregiver who is really in it for your dog, Anna's the one. She doesn't simply show up to do a job; she shows up to connect with your dog, discern what they need, and then go above and beyond to provide that. Of course at the same time she provided what I needed, too: reassurance that my beloved Aussie was safe and happy. She sends pics and videos. She is an excellent communicator and is super responsible. If she happens to be available for your fur baby, you are the lucky one. And so is your dog. I wholeheartedly recommend her, but I kind of don't want to. Because I want her to be available for me!

Schedule
Caring for animals is more than my career; it’s the life I’ve intentionally built. Pet care is my full time focus, and I organize my days around the needs of the animals in my care. I genuinely love what I do and feel lucky that spending time with pets is such a meaningful part of my everyday life.
