Every pet deserves a good playdate!
Pet care experience
From sugar gliders to horses- you name it, I've had it! I've trained a/an ESA dog, Psychiatric Service dog, Basic Puppy skills x7. (For the past ten years.) I also groom my pets in my spare time and have an agility course set up in my yard for extra enrichment.

Safety, trust & environment
I have four dogs and two cats of my own. (And an occasional foster pet in need!) I used to offer boarding/daycare in my home until one of my pups was diagnosed with a genetic disorder (EIC). Because of this, I no longer offer pet care in my own home. However, if you need someone to take care of your babies in your home, I’d love to discuss your aspirations and goals! I have a self-taught background of training, love taking walks, have a vast knowledge of administering medications, and providing basic care & beyond,— just to name a few of the things! It’s my goal to have your pet be comfortable and receive the best care. :) Thank you for your consideration!
Information Annika T. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with high-energy dogs who need to be stimulated constantly and I've also dealt with some of the more "take one step at a time" breeds. Please inform me of any behavioral issues/concerns, if he/she tends to get anxious if he/she has been treated for flea & ticks within the past 30 days, if your pet is spayed or neutered, how social behavior is, and important commands that I should know in case of emergency. I should also have your vet's number along with an emergency contact in case something were to happen. Always better to be prepared– there is no such thing as too much information when it comes to your pet! I'd also like to know their regular day-to-day schedule! I've found sticking as close to their daily routine as possible can help ease any of their discomfort/anxiety when you need to go out of town.
A typical day
Keeping dog's brains constantly fixated on something positive is a lesson my border collie taught me how to master. From fetch, frisbee, agility, flyball, hiking, swimming, socialization, puzzles, walks, new tricks, lazy days, and so much more! Obviously, every dog is different and I'd be more than happy to sit down and discuss your dogs' typical daily behavior to create a schedule perfect for them!

A few friends of mine struggled with maintaining their job and caring for their pets during COVID, so I took the advice of others and began offering pet care on the side when the world started opening back up. I realized that I'm incredibly passionate about offering my services to help care for people’s fur babies. Our pets are precious and we can’t imagine life without them— getting to help take care of people’s lifeline is something I take very seriously as they deserve nothing but the best! What quickly was a part-time passion has since turned into my full-time gig.
