Information Anna M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about your dog’s health, age, energy level, and any special needs. Some dogs are very active, while others may be seniors or have chronic conditions that require slower walks and extra care. I always adjust the pace and activities to match the dog’s comfort and safety. Please also let me know about any behavioral traits, routines, or preferences so I can provide the best possible care.

A typical day

A typical day with me is tailored to each dog’s personality, energy level, and physical condition. Some dogs love long active walks and exploring new places, while others prefer slower walks with plenty of time to sniff and observe their surroundings. I enjoy letting dogs explore new smells, which is very important for their mental stimulation. We may play games, practice calm engagement, or simply enjoy a relaxed walk depending on what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable.

Pet care experience

Hello! My husband and I are both veterinarians from Russia. We decided to stay in the U.S. after the war began. While we’re confirming our veterinary licenses, we both work as veterinary technicians at the hospital. My specialty is veterinary rehabilitation. I help animals recover after surgery, improve mobility in neurological cases, and support pets with injuries, arthritis, and hip dysplasia so they can move better and feel more comfortable. I’ve lived with animals all my life, my mother taught me to treat any living creature with love, empathy, and understanding. I’m also passionate about animal behavior and always pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality, walking pace, and comfort level during walks. I’d be truly happy to care for your pet and make every walk calm, safe, and enjoyable

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Hunter. You did a truly wonderful job with both his morning and evening walks. I do not trust just anyone with him, so that means a lot to me. It was clear that the walks went really well, and I think this was exactly the kind of day Hunter could have wished for as an Alaskan Husky: attention, great time outside, and genuine care. I really appreciate it. Thank you again.

I have many warm feelings when I think about Anna caring for someone’s beloved pet. I truly don’t know another person who is as thoughtful, attentive, and kind to animals as she is. What makes Anna especially unique is that she holds a veterinary degree from another country. This means she not only cares deeply, but also has the professional knowledge and clinical understanding to properly handle many situations a pet might face. She knows how to recognize warning signs, respond calmly, and provide responsible care when it matters most. In my opinion, she would be an excellent choice as your future pet sitter. I recommend her with full confidence. In my opinion she’s the best!

Anna is amazing with animals, you can truly feel how much she loves them. She works as a rehab specialist at a veterinary clinic in Rancho Palos Verdes and takes wonderful care of her senior chihuahua, Matilda. While I was traveling to Colorado couple of times, Anna looked after my kitty Zombie and my parrot Cucumber, played with them, made sure they were happy, and always checked on their well-being. She also gives me helpful vet advice about Zombie’s health when I ask. Anna is kind, responsible, and genuinely caring. I completely trust her with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving pet caregiver.
