Your pets are my passion!
Pet care experience
I have kept pets of all different kinds my entire life (dogs, cats, ponies, lizards etc.) and have worked with dogs professionally as well! From fourteen years old I worked as a dog bather at a local grooming salon and went on to work at a doggy daycare my freshman year of college. Currently, I work as a kennel attendant for a vet's office and do everything from walking, feeding, administering medications, and bathing dogs and cats on a daily basis. I have also done in-home visits for friends and family members' pets while they were away. Working with and being around animals has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I have just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Biology!
Reviews
Anna was great to work with! My dogs immediately took to her and she sent fun pictures while I was gone! Highly recommend!
Anna did such an AMAZING job taking care of my 3 cats while I went out of town! I have one who is very nervous around new people, and Anna was so sweet and patient with her as she adjusted to having a new face checking in. I felt so much better about leaving knowing they were in such great hands!
Anna is amazing! My dog and I both love her.
Anna is always on time and has great communication! Morgan always gets so excited to see her for their walks.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to follow the normal routine and schedule of the pet as closely as possible to create a smooth transition and avoid unnecessary stress! I am unable to do pet-sitting out of my own home, but am happy to visit client's homes to spend as much time with their pets as they want! I can do brief check-ins multiple times a day or stay for longer periods. I am also available for walks and work with any kinds of pets beyond cats and dogs.
Information Anna K. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know whether a dog has any sort of medical needs or concerns, and if they will need medication. It's also important to know if they have any certain triggers for stress, such as certain words or actions. What kind of activities they enjoy and their energy level is a big one too!
A typical day
I absolutely love to spend time outside in nature! We will find somewhere local to you, such as a dog park or a pretty area that is dog-friendly and we will run and play! We may also go sit on a picnic blanket and just soak up the sun. I'd love to create new enrichment activities for your pups, such as puzzle activities and lick bowls as well!
