About: As a proud owner of three lively Australian Cattle Dogs, I live and breathe dog energy every day. My passion for dogs (and cats too!) drives me to provide reliable walks, playtime, and check-ins that keep pets happy and healthy. With my own high-drive pack, I'm equipped to handle all breeds, sizes, and temperaments while ensuring lots of fun and exercise. Why Choose Me My home is a dog haven where my three Aussies thrive, so I know how to match routines and personalities. Expect updates with photos after every visit, plus a fenced yard (if applicable) and safe, loving care. Pet parents love my reliability and the wagging tails that follow! My schedule is very flexible. I schedule my own hours, so I am available when you need the right care for your pups to continue their routine! I provide all pet care services directly in your home for a stress-free experience. This includes energetic dog walks around familiar neighborhoods, drop-in check-ins with playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and medication administration right where your pets feel most comfortable. My approach with cats focuses on gentle interaction, litter maintenance, and cozy companionship without overwhelming them.
“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.
