Experienced with special needs pets

Pet care experience

My childhood pets were a beautiful cat (now a senior cat!) and a special needs dog. I began petsitting for my neighbors in middle school and have walked/housed dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have extensive experience caring for animals with health challenges and senior pets. I've also looked after hamsters and other small animals in the past.

Annika did a great job hosting our cat Chloe. She was communicative, and extremely easy to work with. Chloe was completely at home. We will be using her again in the future.

Annika was amazing with our cat. She was very attentive and responsive while watching her. This was our first time using Rover and I definitely recommend her for watching your cats.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is spacious and clean. There are plenty of cozy spots for your pets to cuddle up. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and I'm just a 10 minute walk away from two different dog parks. I love going to greenspaces, so if your pet isn't comfortable in dog parks, I'd be more than happy to bring them to frolic in some larger grassy parks. I don't have any of my own pets at my apartment, so your pet will receive 100% of my attention!

Information Annika S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, dietary restrictions, personality quirks, unique routines, or favorite activities. I am thoroughly experienced in administering medications to both dogs and cats, including pills, oral liquid medicines, eye drops, and subcutaneous insulin injections.

A typical day

I believe it is essential for any pet to receive lots of daily playtime and enrichment, not only to maintain their physical health, but also their mental and emotional wellbeing. I have a wide assortment of pet toys, and I love taking walks with animals around my neighborhood. My apartment is conveniently located between two parks, both of which have fenced dog parks. There are also plenty of quieter streets in my area, ideal for pets that overwhelm easily.
