I’ve had the joy of caring for all sorts of pups over the years, including German Shepherds, Labradors, Bichon Frises, Cocker Spaniels, Pitbulls, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. I know each dog has their own personality, from the shy snuggler to the overenthusiastic tennis ball addict—and I’m here for all of them. For a few years, I regularly looked after a German Shepherd X Black Lab while their family were away, doing daily visits to keep everything as close to “normal” as possible for their pet. I know how important routine is, and how much peace of mind it gives to know someone’s showing up, not just for the walk, but for the little things too. At home, I’ve had cats for the last ten years—so I’m well-versed in everything from zoomies at 3 a.m. to the art of administering treats just so. I’ve also volunteered with the Blue Cross and Qatar Animal Welfare Society, supporting animals from all kinds of backgrounds—many of whom needed a little extra patience and a calm, kind approach. Those experiences taught me how to earn trust slowly, and to meet animals exactly where they are. Whether it’s a walk, a playdate, or overnight care, I aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and maybe even a little spoiled—just the way it should be.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, my approach focuses on ensuring safety, trust, and maintaining a calm environment. I always prioritize the pet’s safety by keeping hazardous items out of reach, ensuring they have access to fresh water, and making sure their living space is clean and comfortable. Trust is built by following the owner’s instructions and routines, creating a sense of consistency, and offering affection while respecting boundaries. I aim to provide a peaceful environment where pets feel secure and comfortable, ensuring their well-being while the owner is away. Please note, as much as I’d love to I won't be looking after pets in my own home, as my cat, Blanki will protest.
Ratings and reviews
Anya is great with Henry - he is very comfortable around her. She is a great communicator, thanks for taking care of him!
Anya coped brilliantly with my rather nervous dog, and she was a pleasure to deal with. Helpful and conscientious. Highly recommended.
This was the first time I needed some dog care for Henry - 8 month cavalier puppy so I was anxious about leaving him ( I am a first time owner). But I didn’t need to worry as Anya was great with him and I came home to a very chilled out puppy.Anya took the time to have a good meet and greet session a few days before making sure she got to know him. I recommend Anya and would use her dog minding service in the future.
Anya looked after Cookie really well and we felt confident leaving her in Anya’s capable hands. We will definitely use Anya again.
Anya was fantastic with our dog Truman. She provided regular updates and photographs. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her!
Great communication and very professional. Many thanks for your help

Schedule
Aside from my online masters, pet sitting is my full time work so I’m around a lot of the time to give your pup plenty of attention and care. I can offer walks/visits at any time of the day/night! If you need overnight care or a day of play, I’m happy to stay at your place with your pup or pop in throughout the day for some fun and companionship. On weekends, I have extra flexibility and can take your pup with me on errands or for a full day of activities. Whether it's regular walks, playtime, or just some extra time together, I can adjust to fit your needs.
