Highlights
Pet care experience
I love every dog like it's my own
I first started dog sitting as a middle schooler for neighbors and friends. Since then, my love for dogs and my experience with them have only grown. I have three years of experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, and I am now a proud volunteer for Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit organization that trains service dogs and provides them free of charge to people with disabilities. I completed raising and training Oscar through Canine Companions, and he has since become a service dog in Florida. I'm experienced and educated in all things dog, from nail clipping and baths to training and exercise, and even diet and medication administration. I'm always seeking to learn more about dog care and improve my standards as research evolves surrounding health and training! I love and care for all dogs as if they were my own. I believe they are the purest of hearts, and the make the world an incredible place.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious fenced back yard, and live in a neighborhood with several walking trails that I love to walk dogs on. I love to play tug, but my own pup hates tug, so we do lots of fetch! One of my favorite ways to engage dogs is mentally, through interactive games/toys or training activities. My previous dog’s favorite game is hide and seek, but other dogs I've watched really enjoy snuffle mats!
Ratings and reviews
Anna did a wonderful job carrying for our dog. He can be quite anxious which she helped to calm down with her kind personality and soothing nature. She took him on several walks and spent lots of time with him. Anna went above and beyond as far as caring for our house as well. We will definitely contact her again and refer her to our friends.
Anna is always awesome! We appreciate the photos sent and her willing to watch our dog while we were on vacation. Highly recommend!
Anna is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my boisterous 9yo golden in my home for three nights; both her love for and connection to animals were evident immediately. She was easy to communicate with before and during my trip, sent multiple photos, and made sure he got his walks in (he isn’t necessarily the easiest dog to walk, for the record ?). Anna not only took wonderful care of my sweet boy but went above and beyond my expectations, handling an unexpected inconvenience for me that arose while I was gone, and making sure I had a clean house to come home to after an exhausting long weekend away. I really cannot recommend her more!
Anna is amazing! She took care of our two girls amazingly, which includes a crazy lil dalmatian. We felt relie our entire tripe knowing Anna was with them and she left our house pristine. We will definitely be happy to leave our pups with her again.
Anna was amazing with both of our dogs. We have one who can be extremely anxious and hard to handle and our other who is just laid back and likes to cuddle. She was super flexible with our changing schedule and after meeting our dogs (and interesting frogs) we hope she’ll agree to hang with our crew again when we travel.
Thank you so much! Anna is very kind & kept us updated on Truman our whole trip. We appreciate you!

Schedule
I am a graduate student and thus have a busy, but very flexible schedule. I'm very studious, and spend most of my time at home or on campus, but in my free time, I love being outdoors- going on walks, to parks, or working in the yard. Because of my flexible work and class schedule, I am able to make trips home during the day for potty and exercise breaks.
