Long Walks, Runs & Overnight Care
Pet care experience
In addition to being an avid lover of dogs (and walks!) I'm a 19x International marathoner and minimalist backpacker and traveler, as well as a yoga and meditation instructor. As a result of the aforementioned, I enjoy (and match) pups from all over the energetic/activity spectrum, can comfortably and respectfully care for homes and animals as though they're my own, even if only for a night, and can mindfully approach pups with their comfort and needs in mind. I have experience with overnights, ranging from two to ten nights-- with pups of all ages and health profiles and give frequent text and photo updates if so desired. Over the last four years, my top three repeat pup-friends (and their homes,) which I've cared for have spanned from sweet-yet-anxious Whippet, burly-but-cuddly Pit-Boxer mix, and an active-and-energetic Bichon-Poo mix.

I cannot thank you enough Anna! This birthday trip to Curaçao was the longest I’ve ever been away from my animals and I was very anxious about it. I was so lucky that Anna was available to stay at my home and care for my cat and 3 dogs. They all have vastly different energy levels and personalities but I was confident that Anna could keep everyone happy and safe. Anna sent frequent photo and video updates and checked in with any questions she had which put my mind at ease as well. She clearly loves each animal as if they are her own and genuinely enjoys these responsibilities. In addition to providing the highest level of compassionate and conscientious care, Anna was very respectful of my home during her stay and paid close attention to all directions I left her. I very highly recommend booking her for your pet sitting needs.
Anna was great with my fiance and I's red heeler and pit mix. She wound up watching him overnight, while we were out of town. She took our dog on several 45-60 minute walks each day and made sure to update us with pictures!! We felt peace of mind knowing that Anna was going to be watching our pup while we were away!!
Anna took terrific care of my pup while my family was away on vacation. I could go away without worry knowing Anna loves our dog as much as we do. She gave him plenty of love and attention and sent us videos to keep in touch. We would recommend Anna to anyone looking for a dependable, loving pet sitter.
My elderly black lab is shy and sensitive, and I avoided leaving him home during vacations for years until I found Anna. I trust Anna wholeheartedly, and my dog absolutely adores her! Anna instinctively knows that my dog needs a gentle touch, and she is kind and loving with him. She accommodates his medical needs with a "no problem!" attitude. When she sleeps at our house for extended stays, she sets an alarm to tend to my dog in the middle of the night because he needs to go out frequently. Anna goes above and beyond to make sure her clients (canine and human) feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I would not entrust my dog to anyone else!

Safety, trust & environment
All care will occur based out of dog parent’s home, as my roommate’s dog does not get along with other doggos, and based on past experiences of being less stressful for pups who may already be missing their parents!
Information Anna K. would like to know about your pet
While I have experience with small to large dogs, I find most dogs I've met that enjoy running and walking are medium and large dogs-- but zero discrimination. Most important information I prefer to have upfront are medical issues or needs as well as socialization history with other dogs or people should those be encountered On walks.
A typical day
100% pup and pup-parent preferences! I am a lover of walking, running, and hiking and personally take my own walks on sidewalks, boardwalks, or trails and can definitely combine those loves with my love for dogs.
