Availability

As someone who works from home, I am grateful to have flexibility in my schedule for giving pets the time, attention, and care they need ! Whether it'd be midday walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting stays that help them feel safe and loved even when their humans are away.

Safety, trust & environment

When boarding pets, for the knowledge and comfort of pet parents, I have a place for cats to be comfortable, safe, and kept from getting bored, and a separate place for dogs to be welcomed, have the ability to explore, and given the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I follow instructions closely and make sure pet environments stay clean, secure, and calm. I always treat other homes with the same respect as I would my own. On walks, I focus on keeping pets happy and safe. I avoid unsafe situations and keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I use secure leash handling and make sure to bring essentials like waste bags, water if it’s hot, and sometimes treats ! I'll treat and care for pets as if they were my own !

A typical day

Pet care experience

I may be new on Rover, but am definitely not new to caring for pets:)! Animals have always been at the heart of my world! As a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to three sweet and sassy cats, I understand that pets are family with each their own personality, needs, and routines. With hands on experience, volunteer work in animal shelters, and having cared for countless family dogs, I specialize in working to create a calm, safe, and fun environment for every pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind, and to give your pet the love they deserve.

Ana is a great sitter. She’s watched my dog Bella multiple times - she’s reliable and I can always trust that Bella is in good hands with her!

Thanks Ana for being on time and taking him on my preferred route. Really appreciate you keeping him happy and giving some attention to the big kitty too.

Ana did a great job watching my senior dog, Bella, on short notice while I was away for a long weekend. Bella requires some extra attention as an older dog and I could tell she was well taken care of while I was gone. Ana was very professional from the start, sent me regular updates, and I came home to a happy pup and clean home.
