About Us

Anneka's passion for animals developed at a young age when she adopted her first two kitties from a local shelter in her hometown of Austin, Texas. Since 2017, she has been dedicated to the professional pet care industry, working with a wide variety of dogs and cats.

For four years prior to founding Duck Duck Moose Pet Care, Anneka specialized in walking dog-reactive and anxious pups for another local company. During this time, she gained valuable experience in confidently handling and caring for pets with such personalities.

In 2022, Anneka took the next step in her career by opening her own pet sitting business, where she continues to apply her expertise to support reactive pups and care for animals of all kinds!

AJ has been surrounded by dogs his entire life. As a proud Washingtonian, he's no stranger to the Seattle rain and enjoys spending time outdoors with his pup and kitty friends! AJ has a special place in his heart for small dogs, having shared much of his life with his late teacup Chihuahua, Tuff. Now, he shares his home with two cats (the namesakes of the company) alongside his partner, Anneka.

AJ joined the Duck Duck Moose Pet Care team in 2023, bringing with him experience and confidence in working with reactive and anxious pets. Known for his patience, AJ loves winning the trust of even the most ornery of animals!

Alicia has had a love for animals her entire life, growing up with cats, dogs, birds, and bunnies, and even fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society. Her late Australian Shepherd, Charlie, was her loyal companion for 17½ years, teaching her patience, training, senior pet care, and how to manage behavioral challenges with understanding.

Originally from Washington, Alicia loves being outdoors in any weather and is always prepared for rainy-day walks. She understands the importance of trust when it comes to pet care, which is why she treats every animal as if they were her own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

With a background in hospitality and project management, Alicia brings reliability, organization, and attention to detail to each walk, keeping pet parents informed and at ease.

Laura grew up in Nebraska, spending her childhood riding horses in rodeos and caring for farm animals. She has lived in West Seattle since 1994 and is a certified veterinary assistant with over 20 years of experience in the veterinary industry. Animals have always been a central part of her life.

In addition to her veterinary work, Laura spends summer weekends at Emerald Downs working with racehorses, and is also employed at UPS. She couldn’t imagine a life without animals and currently shares her home with two cats while also serving as a foster parent for rescue dogs.

Madison has been professionally pet sitting since 2017, but his love for animals started long before that. Growing up in Maine with cats and dogs, he learned just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives.

Now based in West Seattle, Madison lives with his partner, their sweet dog June, and their friendly cat Pepper. They love spending time together going for walks in the park, exploring the neighborhood, and enjoying cozy evenings cuddled up on the couch.

Madison is passionate about providing thoughtful, reliable care to pets of all kinds. He takes pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From administering medications to caring for pets with special needs, he’s experienced in offering personalized care.

With a special knack for working with anxious pets, Madison understands that each animal is unique. He approaches every pet with patience and kindness, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure.

Megan’s love for animals began in childhood, growing up in the Seattle area where she helped care for her family’s pets and fostered animals for local shelters. As a teenager, she gained hands-on experience working at doggy daycares, offering pet sitting services, and walking dogs. Over the years, Megan has continued to be a dedicated pet sitter, both professionally and by assisting family and friends with their pets. 

Compassionate, reliable, and a strong communicator, Megan is deeply committed to ensuring every pet she cares for feels loved and comfortable. A lifelong Pacific Northwest resident, she enjoys spending time outdoors in all types of weather. Megan has also worked as a local barista for over 15 years and is an active member of the West Seattle and Georgetown communities. 

After navigating the senior years with her late dog, Megan developed a special passion for working with senior animals. She is comfortable administering medications and meeting the unique care needs of older pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve.

Brandi grew up in California and Washington surrounded by a menagerie of family pets over the years, including some special dogs, a beloved cat, and several guinea pigs. She even received a pig for her 16th birthday!

Brandi recently retired from the non-profit world and is thrilled to be able to help the community in new ways.  She and her wife have lived in West Seattle for nearly thirty years, raising two great kids. They currently have two sweet Shichon dogs - Murphy (the shy introvert) and Bosley (the reactive extrovert).  Her daily walks in the neighborhood have introduced her to many other local pet parents and their companions. She also loves spending time with her family and friends, going to soccer games (Go West Seattle High School!  Go Highline!) and loves to volunteer locally for a variety of organizations.

Brandi knows how leaving your furry family at home can be anxiety-inducing and is committed to treating all of them with kindness, respect and care.  She looks forward to meeting you and to showering your pets with love, playtime, and all the cuddles they desire.
