About: Hi there! My name is Anna Williams, I am 25 years old, and I absolutely love animals! 😊🐾 I have a fairly open schedule and can usually accommodate anytime you need me. Having grown up on a farm, I have worked with just about every kind of animal since I was a baby— including dogs, cats, rabbits, cows, horses, goats, poultry, pigs, alpacas, reptiles, ferrets, and much more! I was the main caretaker of the animals on the farm which has given me an abundance of hands-on experience when it comes to animal and veterinary care; including animal behaviors, training, shot administration, oral medications, medical care, etc. In my life, I have owned over 20 doggos and more kitties than I can count, from babies to seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their pets since I was around 10 years old. Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. Your pets are my number one priority and will be treated like absolute royalty while you’re away! 👑 Over the years, I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant, taken many classes on animal behavior and training, attended seminars and workshops about veterinary medicine, traveled to educational events about animals, and spent countless hours studying alongside veterinarians and animals. I have always dreamed of becoming a small & large animal veterinarian. I would also like to open my own pet daycare, activity center and salon in the future. I also worked for a year at a doggy day care and spa, where I learned about the different personalities and behaviors of just about every kind of dog. It was an absolutely amazing experience— and I even worked with up to 35 doggos in one day (which was awesome!!). Whatever kind of pet you may have— whether it be tiny or huge, fluffy or scaly— I am your girl for the job. I absolutely love taking care of animals no matter what they may be. I will love your pets like they’re my own babies! All sizes, ages, and types of animals are welcome. This includes (but is not limited to) pet sitting, dog walking, farm chores, training, and more. I will make sure to send lots of photos of your pets, as well as give them my utmost attention and love. If you’re interested in care for animals other than dogs or cats, or in need of an experienced hand for your farm animals or horses— just shoot me a message for more information: twistedmaple.anna @ gmail .com And please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Thank you and I hope you and your pets have a wonderful day! :) *rates may increase depending on distance* *My son may accompany me to pet visits. *My family (my son and his father) would be coming with me for overnight stays. We will set up a meet and greet ahead of the booking so you can get to know us! I’m currently a full-time pet sitter, which means I usually have an open schedule! I am typically available between 9am-11pm every day of the week. My passion has always been caring for animals. Your pets will be treated like royalty. I have been in a great variety of situations with animals of all types throughout my life, which has given me a plethora of experience when it comes to earning your pet’s trust and love!

“Thalia was good with communication despite us being in an area where we were out of phone range and she was adaptable to our last minute booking needs. She did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs, staying overnight with them and left the house as if she'd never been there. Thanks, Thalia!”

“Zachery house sat for us from July 9th through July 14. I have a Rottweiler, a Doberman Pinscher and an American Bulldog. The Doberman is not your everyday dog. He has a public bite history. He is a good dog but he needs leadership. The Rottweiler is a good dog - but very bossy. She needs leadership. The American Bulldog is sassy. She needs leadership. Simply said, I can't just ask "Suzie" down the street to stop over and feed the dogs. Unless she is a confident leader the dogs may well give 'Suzie' a hard time. Zachery provided the leadership, confidence and direction that these dogs needed. He provided excellent care. I would recommend him, especially is you have difficult dogs. The peace of mind that I had while away was worth every penny.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ainger

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 423 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ainger. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ainger walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ainger maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ainger choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ainger. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
