Pet care experience

I am a full-time pet care provider and animal lover in LA with over 19 years of experience and an adaptive style to meet your needs and schedule. I have worked with many different breeds, ranging from Dobermans to Yorkies. My services include baths, light grooming, playtime and walking, boarding, and sitting. I am licensed, bonded, insured, and certified through several popular sites. I am also first aid certified by the Red Cross. I started pet sitting when I was just 8 years old in North Carolina with my sister. We would ride our bikes around the neighborhood to dog sit for our family’s friends and neighbors. We grew up with lots of animals at home, so being around pets is natural and fun for me. I love animals because they are like family — especially now that I live in California. I have worked with senior dogs, puppies, highly aggressive dogs, even pregnant dogs and newborn puppies and kittens. My special needs experience includes administering oral and injected medications, accommodating blind and deaf animals, and first response in dog-related emergencies. I do this because I care about animals very much! I am very loving and experienced with animals. I have been told I have a contagious calm and positive energy that owners and dogs pick up on, which makes people feel at ease. I send photos and updates to clients, and I make myself available throughout and before your dog’s stay. I love working with animals, but I also like people a whole lot. I'm a professional communicator – I do marketing, event planning, and freelance consulting with various organizations and companies. I also enjoy music, art, and exploring the city. Daycare FAQs : - Drop-off Hours: 8 am - on - Pick-up Hours: by 8 pm - My Philosophy: I embrace a mission of love through small group daycare (2-5 dogs at a time) where every friendly, healthy pup receives personalized attention and playtime all day long- and even overnight!

Anna is one of my absolute favorite sitters! My pup and I have been going to her for over a year now and she is an absolute gem. My dog, Chris, was so shy when he first started going to Anna and he has really blossomed into a social little guy. I owe so much of that to Anna and her attention to a dog's needs as well as having a heart of gold. I highly recommend booking with Anna!

Anna is wonderful! She has a positive, calm energy about her and really cares about the dogs she looks after. Lucky felt comfortable with her almost immediately and he looks forward to his days there.

Anna is wonderful! Our pup is anxious in new places and Anna was so amazing at providing her with love and attention and making sure she felt comfortable in her care. Misty absolutely adores Anna after just a few days of day care and we love knowing she will be well taken care of while we are at work!

I was so nervous to leave my new pup w anyone but Anna has been nothing but STELLAR w Jazz. She always sends videos and pictures of Jazz having a wonderful time playing w other sweet, well-behaved dogs. I trust how she cares for my sweet girl and it gives me peace of mind while I am at work!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement only pet care and training, meaning I reinforce your pup's training with lots of love and your choice of treats rather than punishing or scolding. It brings me so much joy to watch them socialize, relax and have fun here! I'm proud to say that in 6 years we have had 0 safety incidents.

Information Anna W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special care, treatments or medications your dog may be taking and their needs/preferences when it comes to daily routines, other animals and meeting new people. From pits to chihuahuas, I can handle a little rowdiness, anxiety and excitement- no worries. If you have a "code red" animal, or one with a history of highly aggressive behavior, please let me know up front. *This is simply to help ensure safety on walks, etc. A few questions I have are: 1. Are there other animals living in the house? 2. How friendly is your dog when it comes to other animals and strangers? 3. What kind of leash do you normally use? 4. Is your pet potty trained? 5. What are his/her favorite treats?

A typical day

I try to stick to your dog’s normal schedule (feeding, bathroom breaks, sleep, walks, etc.). I keep an eye out for favorite activities and treats — for example, I love playing fetch with a favorite toy while we’re hanging at home. Since I am a freelancer, I’ll be at home and available for your pup all day. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Sherman Oaks, California. My apartment is on the ground floor in a nice neighborhood by the LA River with plenty of space for pets to run around and roll in the grass. The front yard is unfenced, though there is a shared fenced in patio area out back as well. We have a double gate system for secure drop-offs and pick-ups, fresh filtered water provided for pets, and we even have a special closet for storing toys, food and anything else you'd like to bring. We're in walking distance to pet-friendly shops and restaurants if your pup is accustomed to a more active social life in the city. The neighborhood is full of families and lots of folks have pets, so visits are always welcome!
