Pet care experience

Active Pet Lover

I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience walking and caring for neighbors’ and friends’ pets. This has given me the chance to work with many breeds and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m very active and can give dogs the exercise they need. I run several miles a day and can take your dog on runs, walks, or fun outings tailored to their pace. I can also arrange beach play or trail running adventures, with photos and updates so you can see how much fun your dog is having. For added convenience, I have a car and can provide pickups and drop-offs. I’m available in Goleta, and I can also cover Santa Barbara and Montecito for an additional charge. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Anna has been a valuable asset to us as a trusted friend and companion to our two Australian Shepherds. As most know, Aussies need a lot of exercise! When things have come up with work or kids activities it has been so reassuring to know we can call on Anna to come over and run our dogs so they get the exercise they need. She is responsive, on time, and treats our dogs so well! Our Aussies are used to trail running 5-7 miles a few times a week and Anna can easily get them to achieve that. They always come home happy, tired and fulfilled. Our kids always know when Anna took the dogs out because they are so calm in the evenings. I would fully recommend her for any dog walking or running with well behaved dogs of all sizes.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Although I’m a college student, I have plenty of time to walk or run dogs around my classes. My schedule changes each day, but I usually have several open times during the week. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I’m available any time at all.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for dogs, their safety and comfort come first. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep routines consistent so pets feel secure. On walks or runs, I make sure dogs are leashed, supervised, and never put in unsafe situations. I build trust by giving pets plenty of attention and checking in with owners as needed, so they know their dog is well cared for. Whether I’m at my client’s home or out on a walk, I treat every dog as if they were my own and create a positive, safe environment for them.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes exercise, play, and attention. I love taking dogs on long walks or runs, exploring new trails, and playing fetch or tug to keep them happy and stimulated.

It’s helpful to know if your dog has special needs, routines, or quirks. Please share details about their energy level, favorite activities, and any training or behavioral preferences so I can give them the best care.
