Experienced Reliable Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Anna and I absolutely love all animals, especially BIG dogs. I work from home so would love a cute little fur baby to hang out with during the day and the excuse to leave the house to go walk some dogs and get some exercise. I grew up with dogs all my life and was a dog trainer at Petsmart when I was a kid. I have two very social cats who are good around dogs. I am not doing this for the money but for the passion I have for animals. I promise to treat your pet as if it were my own and give it tons of love and attention. I have taken care of pups almost my entire life and my goal, while caring for your pup/s, is to help them feel loved, remain comfortable, and experience little disruption to their daily schedule while his / her / their family is away or I can provide him /her /them with a doggy vacation. I am comfortable walking your pup/s 3-4 times a day and playing ball games. Pick me and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Reviews
Anna and her husband were just fantastic with our puppy!! I couldn't give a more glowing review. Scooch was so happy and well cared for, she was given cozy time to snuggle and sleep, and also tons of exercise and fun outdoor activities. Anna was amazing at tuning into what Scooch would like to do (and what she was too young for). I would bring her back for any of our boarding needs without hesitation and was extremely impressed.
Anna is the most caring and loving person I know. She had two pet dogs (Brandy and Bailey) throughout her entire childhood and teenage years until she went to college. During college, she helped out with various friends and family dog sitting because she loves being with dogs so much. She has also cared for and owned various animals, such as cats, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, turtles, birds, fish and lizards. I have even seen her nurture a wild stray wounded baby sparrow, two separate times, back to health with undeniable dedication and care. After they reached full health, she successfully released them to the wild. Currently she walks dogs regularly for friends and other dog owners that she finds via the ‘Wag’ app, where she is reviewed as a 5/5 star dog walker/caregiver. Also, she currently owns two Siberian cats that she praises with love (Sophie and Izzo). She cares for animals as if they were human and I could not personally recommend anyone more than Anna as a loving dog caregiver.

Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs but I have a special place in my heart for big dogs. I would like to know if the dog had been around cats before and how they would react. I would like to know if the dog is crate trained and in which scenarios do they go in the crate. What do they eat? What treats do they like? How many treats can I give them? Can I take them to the dog park? What times a day do you typically let them out to go to the bathroom? Does the dog show any signs when they have to go to the bathroom? How well trained is the dog? Will it try to chew on my furniture? Does the dog have any medical issues?
A typical day
Walks/Runs - I have a lot of very good paths around the lake by my house. Snuggle up on the couch and watch movies. Chase the cats (just kidding!). If the owner is okay with dog parks we could take them to a park and play catch and socialize with other dogs. I have a screened in porch where they can lay out in the sun.
