Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Belly-Rub Provider 🐾
What sets me apart is that pet care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾🤍 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was around 10 years old—starting with my own pets and helping friends and neighbors, and eventually turning that lifelong love into professional pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs—from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to shy or anxious pets and sweet seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. 🥰 I also have professional experience through Wag! and my own pet care business, where I’ve built wonderful relationships with both pets and their families. One of the biggest compliments I can receive is when a pet parent specifically requests me again—and I’m incredibly grateful to have repeat and recurring clients who trust me with their furry family members. 💕 I’m especially attentive to the little things. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, body language, personality, comfort level, and preferences rather than treating every pet the same. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine medications when needed, caring for senior pets, reinforcing owner-provided commands and routines, and giving nervous or shy pets the patience they need to warm up at their own pace. I’m also a bit of an over-communicator in the best way. 😂📸 You can expect pictures, updates, and little check-ins so you don’t have to spend your time away wondering how your baby is doing. At the end of the day, I don’t want to be just another sitter your pet stays with. I want to become someone your pet recognizes, gets excited to see, and your family feels completely comfortable trusting again and again. 🐶🐱🤍

Ratings and reviews
Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.
Anu has watched my dog multiple times now and she always takes great care of him! He is so excited to stay at her house, she takes him on a lot of walks that he loves, and gives him all the cuddles!
Anu was incredibly sweet and informative- so blessed to have found such a gem of a person near me to watch over my baby while I’m gone
Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.
Wesley Archer enjoyed his time with Anu! She was very communicative, accommodating and sent lots of pics. He looks forward to staying with her and the family again! Thank you
Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!

Schedule
Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s already a big part of my everyday life. 🐾🤍 I work from home and have built my routine around caring for pets, which means your furry family member gets plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with me. I regularly care for pets through walks, drop-ins, sittings, and boarding, both through Wag! and my own pet care business, so there’s rarely a day that doesn’t involve a happy tail, a long walk, or a little extra fur on my clothes. 😂 One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each pet’s little personality and routine. Some want adventures and playtime, some want endless cuddles, and some just want a calm person nearby who makes them feel safe. I adjust my care to your pet, rather than expecting every pet to fit the same routine. I’m big on keeping feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and all those little habits as close to home as possible. And yes—you can absolutely expect pictures and updates along the way! 📸🐶🐱 Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves having them around—not like they’re simply being “watched.” My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and for your pet to leave happy, loved, and maybe just a tiny bit spoiled. 🥰🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in the comfort of theirs, my goal is the same: make them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. 🐾🤍 I know every pet has their own personality and little way of doing things. Some are ready to be best friends within five minutes, while others need a little patience and space before deciding I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I take the time to learn what makes your pet happiest and adjust my care around them. In your home, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make home feel like home. I’m also very respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I want pets to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re having their own little staycation. 🏡🐶 They get plenty of attention, affection, walks, playtime, enrichment, and downtime depending on what they enjoy. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide companionship and help them settle in comfortably. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through Wag! platform, my own pet care business, and years of caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and myself. That experience has introduced me to all kinds of personalities, ages, energy levels, routines, and special care needs—and taught me that there’s definitely no “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care. And of course, expect plenty of pictures and updates! 📸💕 I want you to enjoy your time away without wondering how your furry family member is doing. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled—and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like family. 🐾
Pets
A typical day
I love making each pet’s stay feel like their own little vacation! 🐾☀️ What we do really depends on their personality, energy level, comfort, and what you’re comfortable with as their owner. Some pups are little adventurers, while others would happily vote for cuddles on the couch all day. 😂🤍 For pups who love being outdoors, I have a beautiful greenbelt area right within my community where we can enjoy walks, sniff around, explore, and get some fresh air. If they’re social and you’re comfortable with it, they can also enjoy some supervised playtime with friendly dogs they meet along the way. 🐶🌿 For a change of scenery, I love taking pups on relaxing walks around RSM Lake, where there are plenty of new smells to investigate and beautiful surroundings to enjoy. We can take a leisurely stroll for the pups who like to stop and sniff everything—or get in a longer walk for those with a little more energy to burn! 🌊🐾 At home, there’s plenty of fun too! Depending on what your pet enjoys, we can have toy and fetch sessions, enrichment activities, treat games, backyard/patio time, cuddle breaks, or simply hang out together while I work from home. And if your pet has a favorite activity or game, tell me—I’m always happy to incorporate the things they already love. 🥰 For my calmer, senior, or more anxious guests, “fun” might look completely different—and that’s perfectly okay! We can keep things peaceful with short walks, lots of companionship, sunbathing, belly rubs, and cozy naps. There’s no one-size-fits-all itinerary here. My goal is simply to make sure your pet gets to spend their time doing what makes them happiest—with plenty of love, attention, adventures, and cute photo updates for you along the way. 📸💕

- The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me feel like home away from home! 🐾🤍 Every pet has their own personality, quirks, routines, and preferences, and I love getting to know all those little details. Before their stay or visit, I’d love to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. Tell me about their favorite toys, treats, sleeping spots, commands they know, and even their funny little habits—I promise, there’s no such thing as too much information! 😂 It’s also important for me to know about any medications, allergies, medical needs, anxiety, fears, triggers, behavioral concerns, or restrictions ahead of time. Please let me know how they do around other dogs, cats, children, new people, or unfamiliar environments so I can plan their care accordingly and keep everyone safe and comfortable. If your pet has separation anxiety, needs a little extra patience warming up, guards food or toys, pulls on walks, is an escape artist, or has any other special quirks, please don’t be afraid to tell me! I’d much rather know ahead of time so I can prepare and give them the care they need. 💕 Most importantly, tell me what makes your pet your pet. 🥰 The little things you do at home can make a huge difference in helping them feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to understand their routine before you leave so when they’re with me, it feels less like staying with a sitter and more like spending time with their new favorite auntie. 🐶🐱💕
