Your pup's new bestie!
Pet care experience
Greetings! I have a flexible corporate career, and my love is spending time with pups and helping folks who need an attentive sitter/walker while they are away. I am based right in downtown Littleton, with access to several terrific walking trails. I'm available for dog-walking, drop-in visits and can possibly spend the day with you pup if needed. I know the neighborhood well and tend to stay on trails that aren't terribly crowded. BREED PREFERENCES: Overall, I like all sizes of dogs and most breeds. Based on some negative previous experiences, I tend to avoid working with Pit Bulls, Bulldogs (American especially but also Frenchies), and Yorkshire Terriers. That being said, if they are very well-trained and do well on a leash, I am certainly open to meeting them to make sure it's a good fit. I have no issues whatsoever with Rottweilers, German Shepards, Belgian Malinois or Dobermans. I love animals with all of my heart, and look forward to helping make leaving home easy and worry-free. I am a responsible, professional adult who would like to make a little extra income doing something I truly love. Dogs tend to feel at ease with me quickly, and I enjoy making new canine buddies. :) I have vast experience with rescue dogs, can administer simple oral medication and care for older pups as well. Depending on your pup's schedule and needs, they usually get 3-4 outings a day; a 30-60 minute morning walk, lunchtime walk, a quick outing before dinner, and a 30-60 minute walk in the evening. And of course this can be customized to your pup's regular schedule. Frisbee, catch, tug-of war, and dog park visits are included! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. :)
Reviews
We always love having Luna stay with Anna. She takes the best care of my girl and sends photos and tidbits of what their day consisted of. Thanks for taking such good care of my pup!
The greatest dog sitter in the world.
As always, it's clear that Anna loves dogs and will take care of your pup as if he/she is her own! Anna's very communicative, sends pictures every day if you ask, and always has a fun story to tell that indicates she is actively caring for and engaging with your dog. Will book Anna whenever I need someone to watch Murph and she is free and still lives nearby!
I had Luna stay with Anna while I was on a trip for 5 days. Anna was communicative, thorough and made me feel at ease while I was away. She took Luna on a lot of walks, provided consistent photos and gave me updates a couple times a day. She responded quickly to any questions I had and was flexible on my drop off and pick up times. Luna is leash-reactive to other dogs and Anna was great in dealing with that. I am looking forward to having Anna watch Luna on my next trip. I highly recommend her!

I'm not currently dogsitting in my current residence, but am open to housesitting. I have done this for several years and take pride in keeping your home and pups safe (and tidy!)
Information Anna P. would like to know about your pet
1) Feeding: How much, how many times/day? Are they allowed snacks? By default I don't give them human food, but happy to give any snacks you feel are acceptable. Also, some pups experience a little anxiety when their family is away, and sometimes lose their appetite. If this happens I'll ask permission before giving any wet food or unseasoned meat/veggies/fruits. I am very well-versed in the foods dogs can or cannot eat, along with what breeds have more sensitive digestive systems. As a rule I never give rawhide chews/toys. 2) Bathroom/outing habits (how many times/day, usual walking habits). 3) Medications/Vitamins: Happy to administer oral medications and vitamins, whether just in food or pill pockets. Just need to know dosing instructions. 4) Sleeping habits - do they have their own bed and/or do they usually sleep with you? I have no issue with a puppy heating pad, but will keep them off the bed if needed. :) 5) House Rules: Are there any rooms or furniture they are not allowed on? 6) Anything that upsets them or makes them anxious. 7) Anything that brings them extra comfort and makes them happy. 8) Any little quirks or behaviors. :)
A typical day
Lots of play and lots of company. Love going to dog parks if your pup is comfortable in that environment, and love to take long walks when it's an ideal temperature outside. I'm always up for frisbee or catch or tug of war, whatever your pet enjoys.

Anna can watch in your home
Availability
My work is part-time and project based, and for the most part I work from home so I have quite a bit of flexibility in scheduling visits and walks.
