Experienced Pet Care Professional
Pet care experience
I have been in the animal care profession for 10 years with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. Between being a zookeeper and an animal lover, I have spent my entire life caring for and learning about animals. I am versed in daily pet care tasks, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, positive reinforcement training, and providing enrichment. My favorite part of the job? Play dates, of course! I strive to build a relationship with any animal under my care at a pace that is set by them. Your and your pet's comfort are my priority! I strive to provide the quality of care that you yourself would provide to your pets.
Reviews
Anna is responsible and reliable. She has a lot of animal experience. She took care of a Havanese puppy and a middle-aged mixed breed (with anxiety) and stayed at my house a full week (twice). Would recommend without reservation.
My 2 dogs were healthy and happy having Anna sit for them. They got lots of playtime, I got lots of pictures, and she took great care of them. I will definitely book her again.
Anna is great! She is very reliable and can always be counted on to provide the best care imaginable for any fur (or feathered or scaled) babies. I have had her watch my menagerie several times and always feel confident I am leaving them in the best hands imaginable. She also has extensive experience with animal training and basic medical treatment. So even our very skittish and antisocial dog warmed up to her right away. Anna was even able to give our cat his daily pill with no problem which is pretty hard to find in any pet sitter. I would recommend Anna every time!
Anna takes great care of our two dogs - one that is older and requires extra help and our younger, rambunctious dachshund mix. She understands the stress on dogs when families are away and goes the extra mile to make things routine and easy on them. And, she sends pictures of the happy canines enjoying their "staycation". We recommend Anna for anyone needing a dog sitter, even if your dog requires "extra" help.

I have a large backyard that is fenced in and a quiet neighborhood that provides a great atmosphere for walks. I have two dogs of my own that love the neighborhood. At this time, I am not providing home services.
Information Anna J. would like to know about your pet
I always set up at Meet and Greet before sitting for any animal. I want to make sure that we are comfortable with each other before they are stuck with me while their human is away. While I am getting to know the pet during the Meet and Greet I ask the owner about any medical concerns or behavior issues of which to be aware; I ask the pet's normal schedule and favorite activities in which to engage; I confirm any training cues or expectations the owner has in their absence.
A typical day
I believe in meeting a pet where they are at in terms of the activities they enjoy doing. Some animals love to be active and go for walks or have outside time while some prefer to have some good quality snuggle time on their favorite couch or rug. I am game for however your pet prefers to spend their time and I make sure to discuss with owners what their animals enjoy and what they are comfortable with their pet doing while they are away.
