Highlights
Pet care experience
No cat or dog too big or too small!
My experience with animals started with owning various pets throughout my childhood. My passion for animals since a young age, inspired me to earn a degree in animal science at Rutgers University. While in college, I trained a German shepherd puppy for The Seeing Eye and am currently training my rescue pup in agility! I have experience working in a veterinary clinic and am now focused on working with livestock at the Rutgers Farm. Handling and training all kinds of animals is part of my everyday life!

Safety, trust & environment
I have two friendly animals at home, a cat and dog. I have experience with timid animals and have a great understanding of being gentle and patient. I love to provide updates and pictures to share how your pets are doing! With my experience in a veterinary clinic, I have gained knowledge and basic pet first aid as well.
Ratings and reviews
Ana has taken amazing care of our cats many times at this point and we can’t be happier!
Anastasia went above and beyond taking care of our kitten. Our flight was delayed and she was more than accommodating. Our kitten was super happy and content when we got home. Everything was left super clean and she even took the garbage out! Would definitely recommend Anastasia to anyone needing a pet sitter :)
This was our first vaction in a very long time, and we were hesitant about leaving our three cats (Benny, Sissy & Willow) home alone. (Boarding them outside the home was not an option). We read reviews and decided to contact Anastasia (Ana). She came to our home, and after our meeting we were confident than Ana would be a great choice for caring for our three rascals. She reviewed our instructions and scheduled visit requirements and sent pictures of her daily visits which included feeding and litter box hygiene. We all laughed knowing that they would scatter when a "stranger" came into our home. We dubbed them "the ghost cats." Bur seriously, Ana made our vacation more restful knowing our kitties were being cared for by a responsible person who loves cats. We wouldn't hesitate for a minute, the next time we plan a vacation, to ask Ana to be our cat-sitter again. Thank you, Ana!
Very reliable!!!
I recently moved and was very nervous to have someone new watch Kiki while I was away, especially because he can be shy and gets anxious while I’m away. Getting the updates and photos of how friendly, social and happy Kiki was was a complete shock (in a good way) because he is never like this with anyone. It made me feel more relaxed during my time away knowing Kiki was in such good hands and felt comfortable himself. Thanks so much Anastasia!
Ana took care of our dog & cat over a 2 week period - she was absolutely wonderful. She was very reliable, on time for every visit, treated our cat & dog like her own, and wrote us the sweetness updates. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
