Highlights
Pet care experience
💛Animal lover💛
Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m also experienced in caring for livestock, reptiles, and amphibians! Please let me know if these are part of your family and I am happy to offer care. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I’m actively involved with the Humane Society in Escondido, where I provide enrichment, socialization, and gentle care for animals in need. I understand that some pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, some space, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) I will gladly walk your dog(s) during a drop in visit for no extra charge 💜

Ana is so great!! She is wonderful with my little shy doggy.
I love coming home to a happy cat. 😸 Ana is wonderful!
Ms. Ana was so sweet, gentle and loving with my babies. Ana was on time for every drop in, she played with them, gave them snuggles and reassurance that mama would be home. I 10000% will use Ms. Ana again. We hit the jackpot ♥️
Ana is so sweet and kind to my Stella. She goes above and beyond trekking the hill to my house and I can tell she really enjoys her time with my baby. Thank you so much Ana!

Schedule
Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾
Pets
A typical day
It all depends on what your pet loves most! For playful pups, I’m all about safe outdoor time, sniffy walks, enrichment games, and belly rubs galore. I love engaging pets with activities that match their energy — whether that’s fetch in the yard, puzzle toys, or a relaxing brushing session. For senior or shy pets, I create cozy, calm moments — gentle movement, quiet companionship, soft music, and lots of affirmations. I’m also happy to stick to their familiar routines and favorite spots for extra comfort. Cats get their own kind of fun too — wand toy play, window watching, and respectful lap time if they’re into it! Whatever their age or personality, I meet them where they’re at with patience, joy, and lots of love.
