Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, caring dog mom
Please reach out to discuss my availability :) I have owned dogs my whole life and currently have a 6 year old Great Pyrenees, who I adopted 5 years ago. I grew up with many dogs with various personalities and needs (labs, golden retrievers, shepherds, and a heeler mix). I also grew up with a cat for 15 years and love all animals. I spend most of my free time engaging with and caring for my dog. We often go hiking, camping, or play with our friend's dogs. I have expansive experience caring for other people's children and pets since I was 12 years old. This includes overnight stays and recurring house visits for dog walks and runs, playtime, and feeding. I would love to speak more and answer any questions you may have about my experience or availability!

Safety, trust & environment
I have one large dog. He is a 6 year old Great Pyrenees. I would require a meet and greet for all pets that are interested in boarding and would prefer a crate for dogs that will be boarded. The safety of the dogs in my care is my top priority. I walk my dog 2-3 times per day, have a long line for extra outdoor time, and would be happy to take your dog out as often as needed. At this time, I am prioritizing drop ins/walks in your home, as dogs tend to feel the safest in their own environment :)
Ratings and reviews
Anna is just phenom! Gentle and patient with my shy dog, thorough with her reports so I knew just what has happening, and went above and beyond with care! Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Anna arrived early and was patient, kind, and gentle with my shy dog. Grateful my dog has Anna on her side!
Anna is a friendly and capable dog lover. She was prompt and resourceful in getting my dog to walk, and she followed the cues he gave her. She sent lots of photos and wrote a thorough description of activities. I will definitely ask her to care for my dog again.
We are so grateful to have Anna as our friend of Nahla while we travel occasionally. She faces Nahla's occasional old lady grumpiness with treats in hand and wins Nahla over in a minute. I especially appreciate Anna's use of the Rover card so I know exactly when Nala is out and about and whether or not she peed and pooed and what she ate and when she's back home. To have such thorough communication while we are far away is a great comfort.
Anna is a great communicator and has put our dog right at ease — he even felt comfortable enough to fall asleep on her first visit!
Anna made Nahla fall in love with her in about 90 seconds. I think Anna has a presence and a command that is so comfortable around dogs, I love that she gave us notes and pictures via the Rover card, we haven't had that level of communication before.

Schedule
**I have much more daytime availability/flexibility for the summer- please reach out to see if my schedule and your pet care needs align** :) I work full time during the week, but I have availability for walks, drop ins, and potentially boarding on the weekends (with some possibility for evening availability depending on your specific needs).
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAnna can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I think the most important thing to learn about any animal before sitting them would be if they have any aggressive behaviors towards other dogs or humans (and if so, how they present and what triggers them). I also love to know about their typical routine, their favorite toy, and any other special instructions that may be unique to each pet.
