Experienced dog and cat whisperer!
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of my own dogs and cats for my whole life, and dog and cat sitting for around 7 years. I am good with dogs huge and small, likewise with cats. I am experienced feeding, walking, and letting out fur babies, as well as administering oral medicine (liquid and pill). I have worked with picky eaters, geriatric animals, shy animals and pets with boundaries. I can handle your pet!
Reviews
Anna did an outstanding job caring for my 12-year-old pooch for 10 days while I was away. She is an incredible dog whisperer, and my little guy was in love with her after the first minute he met her. She was very thoughtful about every aspect of his care and feeding, and sent me lots of progress pictures in which he always looked happy and at peace. She's a great communicator, and kept me up to date on how things were going. She is a very thoughtful and caring person, and made sure to leave the house in excellent condition at the end of her stay. I can't recommend Anna highly enough. She's a lovely person with a great personality. She pays attention to details, and doesn't miss a trick. You'd be very lucky to have her sit for your pet. I feel very grateful to have had her for such an extended stay.
Anna did a FANTASTIC job watching our critters and our home. Our crew can be a little bit of a handful and Anna did a terrific job keeping everyone happy and the house looked better than when we left. We are big fans of knowing how everyone is getting on while we are away, and Anna was super communicative throughout. Would not hesitate to have Anna watch our pets and our home again
Thank you so much for taking care of Laika! Anna was awesome-- super responsible, detail oriented, responsive. I felt really confident leaving Laika with her. Would definitely book again :)
Anna is the best! She was so good with our wonderful and stubborn Berner, Ruby, and stayed in touch all week with updates while we were away. Can’t wait for Ruby to hang with her again in the future!
About Anna M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Currently I am offering drop ins or short (1-3 day) stays - I have a energetic fur baby at home that needs me to play with her often, and she is kind of obsessed with me. I do not offer boarding - Olive would not appreciate it, and my apartment doesn’t allow it.
Information Anna M. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies, habits (Blitz likes to try and escape every time someone walks in the door, etc), or triggers (doesn’t like collar pulled/butt touched etc) are important to keep the animal and myself safe! Behavior around other dogs/cats, walk behavior, and any health concerns etc (sometimes he coughs, sometimes she throws up etc). Vaccination info and vet info. Emergency info!
A typical day
I like to spend a lot of time cuddling and/or playing with an animal I’m watching if that’s what they like. If not, I make sure to be around most (or all) of the day and lay pretty low as not to add additional stress. Nice walks around the neighborhood (dogs) and a healthy serving of praise and treats are in the agenda! I know it’s hard for pets when their owners are gone, so I want to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible.
Services
Anna can watch in your home
Availability
I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible, but I’m usually available in the morning, afternoon, and night to drop in. I’m happy to stay with your animal for short visits if needed, I’d just need to feel comfortable in your home and have access to WiFi on weekdays.
