Pet care experience
Hello! I currently have two wonderful cats that we adopted from an emergency adoption from NYC and had them for over 4 years now. In my old apartment, we had a cat sitting group and I took care of a few different cats. What I did not know is we still have a lasting friendship with them. Fun fact, I rescued a stray cat and our friends from the former cat group adopted the little guy to provide him a forever home! In our new neighborhood, I take care of the neighbor's cats when they are out of town. When I was growing up I had an Alaskan Manumute. Therefore, bigger dogs are not a huge issue for me. When I used to live in Florida I would take care of the neighbor's dog when they were out of town and did house sitting as well.

Thank you for taking such good care of him!!!!
Anton did a great job. Doggo was happy
Outstanding service!!!
Anton was great with my two kitties. Hey played with them everyday and sent lots of pictures. It was really easy to communicate with him all week. I would definitely use him again. One of our cats is usually shy, but after the first day we saw pictures of the cat hanging out with Anton.

Safety, trust & environment
In our house we more and less allow our cats to roam free except in a few rooms. We keep all chemicals in our cupboards and our cats have no access to them. Also, I make sure that I clean up spills and food off the floor as we do not want our babies to eat anything that could hurt them. I treat my pets as I would a child. In a clients house I would respect their living space and any specific instructions.
Information Anton A. would like to know about your pet
Just want to know if they have any special needs or how they get along with other dogs and such. Knowing their personality is key to understanding what type of dog I am going to handle.
A typical day
I love going to parks so whatever local park is nearby for a walk would be great. There are no special places I particularly like to go to.

After a few months on this platform, I would not be a good choice if you request hour walks on a permeant basis. It is a lot of work and I may be willing only to do it on a short-term basis. As an update, if you have larger-sized dogs that pull quite frequently on walks, I ask you not to consider me as I have a back condition that puts a lot of strain and pressure. Smaller dogs I will consider but I do ask we do a meet-and-greet beforehand to verify I can handle them. I currently do not work but go to flight school mainly on the weekends. I can be available on the weekends as needed but some of my training does require 4-5 hours of commitment. During the week I am more or less available. I have reliable transportation but I do ask if I can park my car in a driveway at least. I prefer not to do dog walking in DC or house sitting.
