Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I run a hair care and aerial silks entertainment business, both of which offer me a lot of flexibility. This gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to watching dogs and providing the attention they need. I enjoy balancing my professional work with caring for animals, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to ensure your pets get the best care possible!

About Anna M.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their comfort and safety. If necessary, I can set up a separate room away from my cats to ensure a calm environment for the visiting pet. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for exercise. In my clients' homes, I follow their routines and preferences, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. I make sure to adhere to any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication. My goal is to create a stress-free atmosphere for pets, whether they’re in my home or their own.

A typical day
For Dogs: Playtime & Fetch: I’ll keep dogs active and engaged by playing fetch, tug-of-war, or their favorite toy games to burn off energy. Long Walks & Exploration: I love taking dogs on long, enjoyable walks where they can explore new scents and surroundings. Puzzles & Brain Games: I’ll incorporate puzzle toys or treat-dispensing games to challenge and mentally stimulate dogs, keeping them sharp and entertained. Cuddle Time: For dogs that love affection, I’m all about giving them the cozy cuddles and belly rubs they need! For Cats: Interactive Toy Play: I’ll engage cats with wand toys, laser pointers, or their favorite feather toys to bring out their playful side. Climbing & Exploration: If the cats enjoy it, I’ll encourage them to explore climbing towers or safe areas, offering a fun space for them to move around. Quiet Companionship: For cats that like calm environments, I’ll sit with them and let them relax nearby, providing gentle company without invading their space.

Cat Lover, 30+ Years of Experience
Cat care experience
Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve been caring for cats my entire life—33 years and counting! I’ve never lived a year without a feline friend, and currently, I share my home with two relaxed cats: Dracula, my 12-year-old boy cat, and Mina, my 10-year-old girl cat. They’ve been with me since they were kittens and have taught me so much about the unique personalities cats can have. Fun fact: Dracula is pictured in my profile picture and out of all the expensive cat beds I’ve bought, Dracula’s favorite spot is still the free box it came in—classic cat behavior! Along with my lifelong experience, I’ve volunteered as an animal behaviorist at shelters, so I know how to cater to all kinds of feline personalities. Whether your cat loves playtime, snuggles, or simply needs some extra attention, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home!
