Furry Friend Extraordinaire
Pet care experience
I have had it all- anxious dogs, senior dogs, hyper and/or untrained puppies, or even those shy friends that just need some patient love. I have been a dog owner my entire life, and have had extremely large and small dogs, both young and old. I have also taken care of a variety of neighbors'/friends' dogs, and love becoming familiar with each pet's unique personality. I firmly believe that our pets deserve all things good in the world; they are only a part of our life, but we are their whole life, so why not give them all our love while we can? In terms of specifics, I am comfortable and familiar with giving medications, helping our friends get up/down the stairs, crate training, potty training, and so on. I really have seen it all :). I would love to get to know your furry friend!
Reviews
Super amazing dog walker! Very friendly, and reliable. Grateful to have had Annika’s help for the past few months!
Great communicator and handles our 2 elderly pups well!
Annika arrived on time and made my dog, Milo, comfortable right away. I felt assured leaving him at home with her. She was kind and patient and he was in good spirits when I came home. Truly appreciated her help!
Annika was very communicative and confident, which is great for my sometimes skittish pup. I’m looking forward to scheduling future walks!
About Annika B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to pets' moods and their comfort level. After years of practice, I am able to easily read animals' behavioral signs and know how to accommodate the different needs of animals. I know animals are family, so I will never go against owners' wishes or betray their trust. I believe patience is a virtue when it comes to pets, and behave accordingly.

Availability
I am currently a Master's Student at Columbia, with about 8 hours of class a week. Other than that, I am super available and love to explore the city! I am fit and enjoy walking or running, whatever your pet would prefer. I am able to travel via public transportation and really only unavailable when I am in class!
