Reliable & Loving Dog Care

Hi, I’m Anna 🖤 I’m a calm, dependable pet sitter providing structured, low-stress care for dogs and cats throughout Ashville, Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, and nearby areas. I specialize in caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, special-needs pets, multi-pet households, and dogs who thrive with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your pet needs relaxing companionship, playtime and exercise, medication support, or consistent daily routines, I focus on making every visit feel safe, comfortable, and personalized to their needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your pets and home. My goal is always the same: dependable communication, reliable care, photo updates, and a calm environment where your pet feels emotionally secure while you’re away. I have experience with: • Puppies and potty training routines • Senior dog care • Oral and injected medications • Reactive or anxious dogs • Structured feeding schedules • Multi-pet households • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Calm companionship for shy pets • Crate-trained and routine-based care • Drop-ins, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight care One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised using calm, consistent structure both at home and in public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs benefit from patience, fairness, routine, and clear boundaries. I bring that same balanced energy into every pet care visit. Safety is extremely important to me. I use leashes or secure harnesses during outdoor time, monitor pet interactions carefully, maintain clean feeding routines, and follow household instructions closely to help keep pets safe and stress-free. A typical visit may include: • Walks or exercise • Potty breaks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration if needed • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship • Safety checks • Photo and Rover Card updates I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routines, so I tailor care to fit what helps them feel happiest and most secure. I also understand that communication matters. I respond quickly, provide regular updates, and do my best to make owners feel fully informed and comfortable throughout the booking process. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets 🖤 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities 🖤 I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home, so I focus heavily on dependable communication, calm handling, and maintaining a clean, structured environment during every visit. I believe dogs thrive best with patience, consistency, routine, and clear boundaries. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, comfort needs, and daily routine so care feels as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. Safety practices include: • Secure leash and harness handling • Careful monitoring during walks and outdoor time • Slow introductions and supervised interactions • Clean feeding and water routines • Close attention to medications and instructions • Monitoring behavior, appetite, mood, and energy levels • Maintaining locked doors, gates, and household safety routines I’m especially mindful of anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and pets who need extra patience or structure. Some dogs need energetic play and exercise, while others simply need calm companionship and reassurance. I tailor care to what helps your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I also know that communication builds trust. Owners can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each booking so you always feel informed and connected while away from your pet. My goal is simple: to create a calm, reliable, and loving environment where dogs feel secure and owners feel complete peace of mind 🖤

Anna is an amazing person, very responsible and punctual. She's takes care of animals with her heart. She's super amazing with dogs let alone the poultry life with chickens and roosters. Your pets will be in great hands with her and your mind at ease.

To help provide the safest, smoothest, and most comfortable care possible, there are a few things I appreciate owners sharing ahead of time 🖤 Clear communication helps me better understand your dog’s needs, routines, and personality so I can create a calm and stress-free experience for everyone involved. Please let me know about: • Feeding schedules and portion instructions • Medications, supplements, or health concerns • Anxiety triggers, fears, or behavioral concerns • Potty routines and crate routines • Energy level and exercise needs • Leash behavior or reactivity toward other animals/people • Escape tendencies or safety concerns • House rules, furniture boundaries, or training commands • Emergency contact and veterinarian information • Any recent injuries, illnesses, or changes in behavior I also appreciate knowing what helps your dog feel happiest and most comfortable, whether that’s favorite toys, sleeping habits, calming routines, treats, or cuddle preferences. For everyone’s safety, I prefer honesty about behavioral concerns, anxiety, aggression, or medical conditions ahead of time so I can properly prepare and ensure your dog receives the most appropriate care possible. My goal is never just supervision. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, comfortable, and cared for while helping owners feel fully informed and at ease throughout the booking 🖤
