Pet Care with extra LOVE

Pet care experience

Hi I am Anna. I have had pets my whole life ranging from birds to dogs and cats to horses and more! Did you know that a 30 minute walk can help your dog stay healthy and keep them from being too rambunctious in your house? If you don’t have time let me help you! I have experience with small and large breeds. My fur babies are a Doberman named Cece and a MinPin named Coco. If walking your dog is something you are interested in me doing I would love to set up a meet and greet that will take 15-20 minutes of your time where I can properly introduce myself to your dog and we can take a short walk together so I can see if they are comfortable with me. Not every dog likes every person and what is most important is that you find a walker that your dog is comfortable with. If we get along great the first time around I can start walking on my own or I might recommend another walk with you before I take your fur baby out on my own just to make sure not to cause any anxiety. As for in home care I am willing and able to take care of any cats or dogs size and age do not matter. I would love to make sure your pet is comfortable with me so a meet and greet is required and if you are extra worried I am willing to do more than one to make you and your pet feel comfortable. Over night stays at my house will be the same. Your dog must be cat friendly if they are staying more than 2 days. I can lock my cats up in the basement but don’t have the heart to do that for more than 2 days. I habe a Doberman and a Miniature Pincher both dogs end up being friendly after a meeting not on our property. We would meet and walk them together first and then have your dog end up on my property. As long as there is no aggression from any animal I am happy to keep any dog at my house. If your pet has any extra needs like medications or specific feeding I have experience with a lot. My chihuahua mix had Cancer and Congestive Heart failure and I administered medication in many forms he also had a special food diet. I have given subdermal fluids and shots to my pets.

Anna‑Lena truly saved our trip to Florida. When our 13‑year‑old lab broke her leg just three weeks before we were supposed to leave (in addition to other aging symptoms), we weren’t sure what we were going to do. She replied to our request right way and took on a huge responsibility, and we are endlessly grateful for the incredible care she and her husband gave our girl while we were away. They treated her like family, and it gave us so much peace of mind. I would trust any of our dogs with them again. There honestly aren’t enough words to express how wonderful they are - Thank you again, Anna and Josh — we appreciate you more than you know.

Anna is the best! She accepted my reservation with less than a week's notice. I received detailed daily updates with pictures and got my pets back promptly at check out. This was my first experience with Rover and I absolutely would book again.

Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!
