Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, trusted animal lover
I'm an experienced pet sitter with a flexible schedule, available for morning and evening walks or extended dog-sitting. I have 5 years of experience working at a vet clinic, 2 years volunteering with a dog rescue, and have fostered many dogs until they found their forever homes. I specialize in helping dogs with leash training and separation anxiety. I believe pets deserve personalized attention, so I only care for one dog at a time and avoid group walks. Whether your pup loves long hikes or gentle strolls, I tailor the experience to their needs. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anna took great care of Chente! He liked her a lot and came out of his shell quickly, which speaks volume, and it was clear when we chatted afterwards that she gets dogs and looks after them well. Would recommend her any time.
Leaving our dog Scout with someone else isn’t something we take lightly, but Anna made it so easy. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. She treated Scout like he was one of her own, and that meant the world to us! Every day she sent photos and updates, which let us see how happy and loved he was. She even took him on hikes and made sure he had plenty of exercise, fun, and attention. It was clear that Scout wasn’t just being watched, he was genuinely being cared for. Knowing he was safe, happy, and loved allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying. We are so grateful to have found Anna and couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, Anna is truly the best!!!
Anna was exactly the sitter my active dog Pat needed. She sent pictures of their hikes and it was clear he was getting lots of attention. I'll rebook next time I travel for sure!
Anna was amazing with my old dog.
Anna was so excited to look after our Frenchie, Hugo. They bonded instantly, you can tell she loves dogs and they love her. Anna updated us with pictures during their 4+ hour stay and Hugo looked absolutely content, happy and snuggly
Anna and her partner are caring and kind. My dog was really happy after her stay with them, and I received photo reports as well! Thank you! ❤️

Schedule
As a teacher, my schedule allows me to dedicate mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays to pet care. I prioritize quality time with each pet, ensuring they get the attention they need through personalized walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether it's a morning stroll before work or an evening hike, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, providing consistent and loving care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized, attentive care whether in my home or the client’s. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog’s energy level and needs, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation they require. I never do group walks, so each pup gets my full attention. For dog sitting, I create a calm and comfortable environment, following their usual routines to reduce stress. Whether staying at my place or theirs, I provide regular playtime, walks, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and relaxed. With house visits, I check in to feed, walk, and spend quality time with your pet, ensuring they feel cared for even when you're away. I also help with basic tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and at home—no matter where they are!
A typical day
I love making every pet’s time with me an adventure! Living in Squamish means we have endless trails, beautiful rivers, and stunning nature right at our doorstep. For active dogs, we’ll explore local trails, go on hikes, or enjoy refreshing riverside walks. For pups who prefer a more relaxed pace, we’ll take gentle strolls, have fun playtime sessions, or enjoy plenty of cuddle time. No matter their energy level, I ensure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, stimulation, and relaxation—all while staying safe and happy!
