Availability
I work remotely at home so it would be great to have a furry companion. I live in a pet friendly building next to a dog park so I’m happy to either stay at home or go play at the park. Please try to ask me for availability at least one to two weeks before the actual date.

Safety, trust & environment
Feel free to ask for special accommodations if necessary, ie medications, special diets, etc. Please note that I am currently in a high rise building and would require dogs to do well in the unit (ie no pooping indoors, loud barking, etc). If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know. If your dog cannot do well on their own if I leave for a few hours, let me know as well. Any noise disturbance in my building will be subject to a fine, so unfortunately if your dog is too loud then I wouldn’t be able to accommodate at this time.
Home
Information Katie "Anni" W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time which vet they usually go to in case of emergencies. Otherwise then let me know what their general routine is and if they have any special diets or medical considerations. If you are looking for a long term boarding or long term daycare, I’m happy to negotiate a flexible rate that works for you aside from the prices listed.
A typical day
I mostly adapt to the pet’s schedule and behavior. Cats are generally low maintenance so I let them do their thing. For dogs, I would usually take them out 3/4 times a day and maybe go on a long walk if they need the exercise. This totally depends on each pet though so just let me know ahead of time what to expect.

Pet care experience
I have grown up with animals ever since I was a child. I grew up in a family with chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats as pets. I also have an animal care training background as part of my training for my graduate science degree. I receive requests for taking care of both dogs and cats of all different ages and needs. Please message me if you are looking for something specific. Depending on my projects at work, I either work from home or partly take meetings for a few hours outside of the house. If your pet were to come over, I will make time to stay home and take care of them, please message me ahead of time so we can coordinate. My apartment is very safe, in a high rise. I have been petsitting for years now and nothing bad has ever happened to any of them.

Reviews
Annie is fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats for 4 nights in a row while we were moving and getting things sorted out. Communication was excellent—she was constantly attentive to both cats' behaviors and needs, and kept us updated on everything. We are so grateful!
Anni took great care of my quirky and sometimes reactive dog, Derby, while I was gone for a 6 day trip. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout her entire stay with Derby. I’d highly recommend Anni as a sitter!
Anni was amazing with our two dogs! She truly went above and beyond for their care—even taking a trip to the vet to pick up medication for our anxious dog. She was so patient and kind with them, I cannot think of anyone taking better care of them in our absence. Cannot recommend more!
This was our first time leaving Cookie since we moved to the city and Anni took such great care of him! She was communicative, flexible and understanding of Cookie's special needs. Anni sent frequent updates which put us at ease. Cookie gets a little stressed and anxious when he's away from home but seems like he enjoyed his vacation very much. Thank you, Anni!
