Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to visit your home to provide the best care for your pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m flexible and happy to adjust to you and your pet’s usual schedule and routine (feeding, walks, playtime, etc…)

Information Annika S. would like to know about your pet

So that I can provide the best care possible, it’s helpful to know: - their daily routines (especially if they stick to a strict schedule) - special behavioral traits (reactive around other dogs or children, for example) - medical needs - favorite games or toys - triggers or things to avoid

A typical day

A typical day might include a mix of energetic walks around SF’s parks or neighborhoods, playtime, cuddles, and whatever your pet’s favorite activities may be. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule so they feel right at home and give them bathroom breaks on time. I am also happy to have them socialize (or not) with other dogs, depending on their preferences.

Real dog owner. Real care.

Pet care experience

New to Rover, but with years of personal pet care experience. I’m offering a discounted rate for my first 3 clients in exchange for an honest review! I’ve cared for my poodle–Irish setter mix for over 10 years and often walk her often through San Francisco. I’m used to navigating the city’s unexpected moments—strange sidewalk debris, loud noises, unpredictable dogs—and know how to keep walks calm and positive. I genuinely light up around dogs, and I’ve also had guinea pigs, so I understand how different animals interact. I promise to treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and joy I give my own!

Annika has been wonderful with our dog! She took the time to come over and meet him beforehand, which really put us at ease. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. We always feel confident knowing our pup is in good hands with her. Highly recommend!

Annika was amazing! She was very communicative and showed up a little early on one occasion when I requested it to accommodate my changing schedule. My dog Ellie was always so excited to see her and came back from each walk very happy 😃

Annika is the absolute best! She’s so professional and our dog Charlie absolutely loves her- she’s his favorite person and he waits at the door for her every visit! He doesn’t like many people but he loves his walks with Annika! She’s easy to communicate with and works so hard- we couldn’t regret her more! She’s the best!!!
