I can't recommend Anna enough. We have a challenging situation with our pets and Anna was able to handle each of them without any issues at all. The best part about having someone come to the house to care for the pets is that when you return home from vacation, the animals are at peace and not stressed out! I am not sure if this happens with all pet sitters because we only use Anna. We always knew what was going on at home because Anna sent us frequent photos. Once you find a gem of a pet sitter, it would be silly to use anyone else to care for your pets. We have had two to four dogs and one cat during the 8 years that Anna has cared for our pets while we were on vacation. Instead of having to take the pets to a kennel, they get to stay at home and Anna checks on them about five times per day. She just knows how to treat animals. She quickly won over our skittish dog by being extra sweet and letting the dog warm up to her, and of course offer treats and speak to her so kindly. And our cat ... our cat has access to the outdoors and frequently drags in rodents to eat or play with. Anna happily did a search through the entire house each day to clean up any messes left by the cat. (I know most people recommend to leave the cat inside, but this cat started her life as a feral cat and now has the best of both worlds.) And the best thing of all, when we return home Anna always had a bouquet of flowers on the countertop with a welcome home card for us. When we would get home, the animals were excited to see us, but it was like we had just been gone for work - not 3 to 4 weeks! Hire Anna. You won't regret it. She has pets of her own and is both a pet and a people person.
