Highlights
Pet care experience
20+ Yrs Caring for Pets Like Family
I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years, starting at a young age and continuing through friends, family, and repeat clients who trust me with their pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful puppies to older dogs needing a slower, more attentive pace. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s walks, feeding routines, or simply spending quality time, I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Your dog will be treated with patience, care, and a lot of affection while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress space where pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and individual needs, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing thoughtful care you can trust.
Ratings and reviews
Anna was great! She checked in on our cat over several days and did an amazing job keeping up with her special diet and making sure her space stayed clean and she was happy and healthy. She was always prompt, kept us updated after every visit, and sent lots of great photos. We came home to a very happy cat and would definitely book again!
Anna is great! She watched my minipoodle while Inwas at work. She was reliable and easygoing. My dog felt automatically comfortable with her. I will be booking her again!
I had a wonderful experience with Anna when I was looking for someone to stay with my aging cat, he needed to be held and loved to be held and rubbed a lot. He was on medication that needed to be administered by mouth, which was not easy, but she was excellent at administering. I was distraught about leaving him at that point, but Anna was very easy to work with, and went above and beyond to love on him like I did. My baby was so in love with her and I knew he was happy! Thank you Anna for all your support. Meant so much to us!❤️
I’ve known Anya for a while and she’s always been amazing with animals. She’s calm, patient, and really tuned into what pets need. I’d trust her with my pet anytime without hesitation.

Schedule
I work from home on the Westside of Santa Cruz, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, and I can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s specific needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being a reliable support for pet owners.
