I love to go on power walks if your dog needs exercise, smell the neighborhood, play some games, or even sing together. I have my special tricks to gain the trust of shy cats.

Animal Behaviorist - Reliable Care

Pet care experience

I find it interesting to get to know your pets and adjust my approach to their needs and give special attention. From power dog walks to making shy cats comfortable. I am a biologist with an advanced degree in Animal Behavior, and I am sensitive to behavioral clues. I used to be a breeder of Siberian Cats, helped the cat moms raise 17 litters and made sure the kittens found responsible forever homes. I live with four cats myself. I am a mature, responsible and calm person. Will nurture your old or sick pet. If needed, I can do subcutaneous fluid administration.

Anneke clearly really cares about animals and wants them to be as comfortable and happy as possible. That is what she did during my last trip with my cat. Highly recommend.

Anneke was great -- she shared plenty of wonderful updates and pictures of my cats, and I could tell my cats had been extremely happy and well taken care of once I got home. Thank you!

Anneke did a great job with Oliver! I had a very needy kitty that requires constant pets and attention and I feel like she was able to provide tons of care while I was out of town. She was also communicative of any issues.
