Pet care is part of my daily routine because I work with dogs who need structure, exercise, and behavioral support. Every week is built around providing engagement-based sessions, guided walks, and our excursion services—not casual pet watching.

Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I focus on structure, calm energy, proper exercise, and clear leadership. I evaluate how the dog behaves in its own environment and guide the dog through engagement, movement, and routines that support better behavior. We can still provide drop-ins and walks if needed, but most clients work with us for our behavior-focused engagement and exercise sessions, which address the root cause of issues.

Information Anthony A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that we learn as much as possible during the initial consultation and meet-and-greet so we can see your dog in their natural environment. Share anything you think might matter, but don’t stress about remembering every detail — I get most of what I need through direct observation and the time I spend with your dog.

A typical day

I focus on activities that engage a dog’s mind and body. Depending on what each dog needs, that can look like structured walks, confidence-building exercises, controlled social exposure, or guided exploration. Everything I do is meant to reduce stress, burn energy, and support better behavior long-term.

Thank you for being incredible with our pup! Our dog is friendly but is super strong and can pull like crazy to get to other dogs as soon as he sees them. We have such peace of mind knowing that he is safe and getting the exercise he needs. Highly recommend!

Great experience - very patient and knowledgeable. Took the time to understand my puppy’s needs and handled everything calmly. We would definitely consider using him again. Thank you!

First time using Rover. Needed dog walker on short notice and Anthony was able to fit us in. He quickly responded to all our communications. Our dog needs to be persuaded to walk (especially with a new walker) and Anthony was very patient and got her to go on her walk. Overall, very happy with Anthony.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
