Pet care experience
Having looked after a variety of animals from the age of 10 (my own, and family members'), I understand their various needs according to their age, temperament, and diet. I've spent most of my life surrounded by pets. When I was younger, we had 2 cats (a Russian blue and a Bengal), 3 goldfish, and the best Golden Retriever in the world, Rafa, who sadly passed a few months ago. In September is volunteered at a dog shelter in Western Ukraine for 2 weeks, where I would take dogs of all shapes and sizes for long walks in the surrounding woodland. Many of the dogs I walked were very badly traumatised (physically and mentally), and I fostered strong bonds with them. I believe my passion for animal welfare and empathy make me a successful pet sitter/dog walker. I have always been very sporty and fitness oriented and look forward to taking your dog on long fulfilling walks, as I understand how important exercise is - especially for larger breeds. I live in an area surrounded by woodland and forest paths which make for ideal walking environments.
Reviews
Anna has a natural way with cats and dogs. She is good at dog -walking, but even better at dog-running. Anna has taken our golden retriever into Marlborough and back and through the forest. She has also looked after our Russian Blue and Burmese Blue cats and has a nack for coaching them down from trees. My furry friends thought she was really cool.
Anna is an incredible pet caregiver, continuously going above and beyond to ensure my two cats are cared and loved for. Considering both cats are deaf and blind, Anna easily adapted to their specific needs and provided a thoughtful and tailed approached to looking after them. It takes an extraordinarily large amount of trust to leave my furry family members in the hands of someone else, but Anna has allowed me to enjoy the experience and has never provided any service less than exceptional. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a partially fenced garden which leads into the Savernake forest. In terms of housesitting, for dogs I will make sure that they get plenty of time in the garden with me and a walk - you would need to provide their lead. For cats, they would remain indoors. I no longer have our old cats and dog's beds, so owner will need to provide one if they want their pet to have one to sleep in when staying over. Please also provide food and information regarding what times you would like your pet to be fed. For the walks, I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and new routes to explore.
