Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets!

In 2022, I was looking for someone to stay at my house to care for my 13-year-old Yorkie and my 18-year-old cat while my family went on vacation out of the country. My boys were in need of someone with experience caring for older pets as they both took a number of medications. They were also very attached to me, and I needed someone very loving to be with them while I was gone. I had met ana earlier that summer at a party at my friend's house and was very impressed with her. My friend suggested I ask her if she could stay with my boys and care for them while we were gone. Fortunately, ana said she would love to help me out. She did such a fantastic job taking care of my guys! My Yorkie did not usually like to take walks with anyone but me, but after just a few days, ana was sending me pics of him walking through the neighborhood with her! She also was very knowledgeable about caring for older pets and knew how to administer the meds my guys needed. And when at the end of our vacation the second leg of our flight home was canceled, ana very willingly stayed an extra night to care for my guys. I highly recommend ana to anyone who wants a reliable, loving, knowledgeable, trustworthy pet sitter.

I've known Ana for 5 years. She has be reliable, responsible, and loving with both of my big dogs. She is kind and loving toward my animals, as I know she has been with her own animals. She has so much compassion toward all animals, they are her life! She's respectful of how I want my dogs to be cared for when my husband and I are away. She sends messages including pictures of my animals and follows the special diets I have carved out for our dogs. Ana feels comfortable reaching out to me with questions or concerns about our dogs too. I have felt comfortable from the start with Ana as she has shared with me her experiences with her own animals' health and the care she has determined was best for them. Additionally, she has never let me down and my dogs absolutely love her! She is very experienced with many different types of animals so I have referred her out to other friends who have enjoyed the same level of confidence with her as they have traveled and placed their big, medium, small dogs and cats in her care. And Ana is not someone who tells you how to better care for your animals or what a dog and cat need that's better than the care you're already giving. Complete respect as a Rover pet caregiverr! She's the very best!
