Even the grumpiest cats like me

Cat care experience

I have a quiet home and personally a fairly calm demeanor so I think cats really warm up to that. Cats typically take a little bit longer to warm up than dogs but I’ve never had a cat over that didn’t like me after a day or two.

Anni did an amazing job watching our Cavapoo Evie while we were abroad. She sent daily updates and pictures, and took her to the dog park almost every day! Would definitely book again in the future

This is my second time boarding with Anni and both have been amazing. My dog, Prima, is so comfortable with her and always in good hands! Anni is very communicative, which helps to put me at ease whenever I am away. She is definitely my go to!

Anni was so patient with Frank who was super confused about the environment change. She was very proactive in giving me updated on him and what he was up to. She was great and Frank had a great time!!!

Anni is amazing! We have a very unique dog who is both physically low maintenance and emotionally high maintenance . Anni could not have better with Sophie - and was really communicative - she has a great sense of humor, sent lots of photos and definitely understood what our quirky dog needed! Without a doubt we would use Anni again !!! Knowing Sophie was in such good hands lallowed us to really enjoy our time away and not worry!

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.

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.

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.
