Safety, trust & environment

I grew up in a home where dogs were family members. We were very comfortable with them being indoor and outdoor pets. We would go for hikes, walks/runs (was fairly active to help the dogs release their energy) and would also relax together indoors. Will crate as needed for dog and family comfort or will just hang out on a sofa and read a book for company for the pet. Since I’m used to caring for a high maintenance dog that required special attention, I can clean up accidents and administer medications if needed (with lots of approved treats)

Pet care experience

I worked at a humane society and worked with many dogs of all sizes and breeds. Helped to socialize them; took them for walks/hikes, went for car rides, got them comfortable being outdoors. I also dog sat for friends and family throughout the years. Very comfortable with giving medications and taking care of special needs dogs (grew up with a dog that required seizure medication and had frequent seizures).

Thank you so much for being patient with my timid hyperactive puppy. She’s a great walker takes time and listen to instructions. I will definitely book again.

My pup is highly anxious around new people and Annika was incredible with caring for him and building his trust. He warmed up to her in only a few days which was a huge milestone for him, it just goes to show how knowledgeable Annika is with understanding dogs! So lucky to have found her
