Let's hang out!

Pet care experience

I am thrilled that you are taking a look at my profile to see if I would be a good fit for your animals! I love pets- especially dogs- and am looking forward to befriending yours! Hanging out, going on walks or to a park, maybe even some puppy play dates if our dogs get along. Some of my favorite times are just being in the presence of animals, no matter what we're doing. I have been taking care of my family's dog since I was young. I now have two dogs of my own that I love and care for like my own children. I am very picky in who I let take care of my dogs and hope to provide the same peace of mind for you in my care of your pets! I often step in and take care of my friends' pets and everyone I know comments on how I get along with dogs so easily. Both of my dogs have medical situations, so I am adept at administering medications- mostly pills, but I can do eye meds, and liquid mouth meds as well. I have lots of experience with anxiety, seizures, heartworm positive, and post surgical care. I know basic dog first aid as well. I work with a Positive Reinforcement dog trainer for my own pets and use that method in training my own dog. I have some experience with potty training. I have not taken care of a true puppy (under 1 year) as one of my own dogs, but have worked with them for friends. My family's dog is now 14, so I have experience with senior dogs as well. I have cat sit for friends as well- usually 2 at a time. I love to play with them or cuddle a little bit if they need it. I try to give them as much attention as they would like and make sure to spend lots of time with them playing or cuddling. Feel free to contact me about any specific situations you have that you want to know if I can handle!

Anna is the best dog mom for her two dogs, and that translates to her care of other pets! She takes such good care of our cats (I think they like her more than they like us). She knows their personalities, gives them plenty of attention, and sends lots of photos so we know they're doing fine while we're gone. She is careful with medications and is very attentive, and while there has never been an emergency while she's been there, I know she would handle it perfectly.

Anna is a loving and dedicated dog mom, who will give your pets as much care as she gives her own! I'd highly recommend her as a walker or sitter for your pets!

Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I allow dogs to fully sniff their environment (unless you have worked with your dog to avoid that behavior) in order to keep their interest and stay focused on the walk rather than other animals out and about. Safety always comes first on walks! I use a kennel with my own dogs and am comfortable taking them in and out. I am good at making sure pets get enough stimulation and exercise even if a yard or park are not nearby. Safety is always a priority and I make sure that your pets always comes first.

Information Anna J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medications they need to take or health issues I should know about. If I am walking your dog out in public, please let me know if they are dog friendly and strange human friendly so I can keep them as safe as possible. If you know any of your pet's signals or communication strategies, please let me know!

A typical day

My dogs and I love going on nice long walks or to parks. Sometimes we even go to state parks or other cool nature areas to explore even more of the world! If your dog is dog friendly and off leash trained, we can go to a dog park for some fun playtime with other dogs! During the summer, we can even go to my community garden plot and play in the dirt.
