Experienced Dog Walker/Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! I definitely am an animal lover - I absolutely adore animals and I love spending time with them and making them happy. I have lots of experience with small animals, cat care, and dog walking for 15+ years. I've helped out several of my neighbors, friends, and family members with pet care (including all different breeds, temperaments, sizes, and ages of dogs). My sister who is a Veterinarian, adopted a Saint Bernard several years ago so whenever my sister was back in town, I helped take care of her dog. This sweet dog was previously abused, so with months of patient training and unconditional love, we helped change her life. I also have owned many small pets throughout my life (gerbils, hedgehog), and I currently have 2 adorable, spoiled bunnies that are best friends and have a huge space to play all day! I also have donated and volunteered at local animal shelters that provide care to dogs, cats, and rabbits. Currently, I am a nurse during the afternoon/evening hours during the week, but would love to help out with dog walks or drop-in visits while I'm off work on the weekends (i don't do overnight stays or boarding). Please message me if interested or have any questions!

Anna took wonderful care of our dog! She is dependable, caring, and patient with our anxious dog. We will not hesitate to contact her again!
This young lady has all it takes to make a dog lover very comfortable when she is caring for their pet. She is compassionately involved with all his or her needs. I would trust her any day of the week. I don't give anyone a key to my home but Anna was different..dont hesitate hiring her... Diane Golin
Anna has been our loyal, trusted dog walker for the past 3 years! She is reliable and loves our rescued boston terrier -- he is always happy when we come home! Anna was especially amazing with our rescued pug during the decline and transition of her health. We heavily relied upon Anna during this time, while we were at work, and it was such a relief to know Roxie was in such good hands. You can tell Anna will love your pets, because she takes your feedback very seriously and will apply it to her daily routine to make sure your dogs are number one. We have even asked Anna to pick up our mail and water our plants while we're on vacation. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone that is looking for a trust-worthy walker that is reliable, and will love your dogs!
Anna and I have been friends for five years and met through work. She's cared for my cat when I've gone out of town and has always been communicative. She's not only kind to everyone she meets, but professional and reliable.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I prefer not to board client's animals in my home, I will follow the client's instructions and desires in how they would like their pet to live at their home and follow their routinely schedule accordingly.
Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet
Knowing a dog's temperament, likes, dislikes, schedule, etc. would all help in determining how to make our visit the best and most fun it can be for the both of us.
A typical day
I would ask the client if they have preferences, as well as taking them in their yard, to parks, around a nice neighborhood, play with toys, etc.

(Weekends work best to help since I work full time at another job during the week). This still gives me a chance to enjoy time with doggies after my other job:)
