Your dog-loving reliable sitter.

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m Anna, a Columbia University PhD candidate and writer. I’m originally from Denmark and have lived in NYC for 10 years. I love animals, I love dogs and to be around them. I dog sit until I am in a position to have my own dog. I go for daily walks in Riverside Park or Central. I love to care for your dog and to bring them on my walks. I dog sit for my own pleasure and I will maximum dog sit two dogs at the time. Most of the time only one dog is here. I’m raised with animals. I’m reliable and dependable and responsive. I’m also communicative and will stay in touch and send pictures while your dog is in my care. My apartment is clean and quiet, no smoking and no alcohol. Happy to discuss more on the phone and to meet you and your dog, in person or on a video call. When I meet your dog the first time I will let your dog get to know me by gently introducing myself to your dog on their terms. Depending on the owners preference, I usually walk dogs boarding with me once in the morning for about 20 minutes, around noon for about an hour, in the afternoon for another 45-60 min and then again in the evening for about 20-30 minutes. For morning drop-offs and afternoon or early evening pick-ups, I include an additional day care fee of $40 in the final price. Please bring your dogs bed, a few toys, a t-shirt of yours that reminds your dog of you, food, treats and a rain coat. I have medium bowls, back-up poop bags, I use my own leash and provide a few blankets. Every now and then I bake home made treats w tuna/oats/eggs. Dogs love it!

Anna took wonderful care of Sully, who came back to us happy and tired (from all the exercise at the dog park!). We would definitely have Sully stay over with Anna again.

If I could give more stars to Anna I would! She helped us care for our pup for a whole week and I dare say he seems sad to be back home with us! Anna was very quick to respond to messages and sent updates throughout the stay. I had made a last minute change with our booking and Anna was so gracious and accommodating with the schedule change. Will definitely be looking to Anna for help with our pup the next time we need it!

Anna is great - she has a very warm and calm presence that would be good for any dog. We left our 3.5 month old puppy with her for the weekend - she sent us frequent pictures / cute updates and our puppy clearly had a great time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a studio apartment in Morningside Heights. I lay out a blanket right next to my desk where I sit and work. Most dogs prefer to lay there next to me when we’re inside during the day. In the evening I make their bed right next to mine. I find that most dogs that come here, even if they sleep in a separate room in their permanent home, prefer to sleep somewhat close to me — their sitter-human for the day. Other dogs prefer to sleep in the bed which I am fine with. I have room for a smaller crate that I am happy to use if you prefer that. Please bring your own crate as I don’t have any.

Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet

My apartment is on the fourth floor from the street and there is a walk up. If your dog is uncomfortable walking the stairs and it weighs below 10 pounds, I can carry the pup up and down. How is your dog around other dogs, inside the apartment, and on the street? How is you dog with stairs?

A typical day

My favorite place is outside and the parks nearby. I’ll take your dog on plenty of walks, play fetch with them and go to the dog run twice a day if they feel comfortable there.
