Safety, trust & environment

I understand that every pet is different, so I always take the time to get to know their routine and personality. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, make sure they get lots of love and attention, and do my best to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send photo updates and messages so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

Information Annika M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys or activities, leash manners, commands they know, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with other people or animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor our day to their personality and energy level. We’ll go on walks, play their favorite games, and spend plenty of time getting exercise and enrichment. If your dog enjoys exploring, I’m happy to take them on fun long walks with plenty of sniffs. If they prefer a slower pace, we can relax with plenty of cuddles and attention. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a part of my daily routine. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve looked after dogs for my grandmother, family friends, and personal friends, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Annika is one of the most caring, careful, and responsible people I've ever met. While at school, she is able to balance a full college schedule with the numerous organizations she decides to become a part of. One of these activities includes volunteering at a dog shelter thirty minutes out of her way, simply because she loves doing it and has a great passion for giving animals the care they deserve. Beyond this, she also loves going to cat cafes where she's able to play with, entertain, and become a pillow for cats of all different kinds, and most importantly she is ecstatic to be of service.
