Pet care experience

Seasoned pet care professional!

Please note: my boarding is very limited due to scheduling. Hi, I’m Anastasia! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals of all shapes and sizes—including goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, snakes, fish, axolotls, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, and even shrimp. If it’s got fur, feathers, or scales, I’m comfortable caring for it! I’ve also been fostering and rescuing cats for over 10 years, and have experience with everything from newborn kittens to senior cats and those with special needs. My work and childcare schedule is flexible, so I can usually make time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I do charge a small, negotiable travel fee for locations more than 20 minutes from central Ninilchik, depending on distance. I treat every animal like family and would love the chance to care for yours!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large roughly one acre fenced-in yard, with plenty of room to run and frolick! :) For those who wouldn't bring pets to my home, my track record of never losing a pet outside hasn't been broken yet!

Dog Walking • Jul 05, 2026

Ana was super! She walked Sophie while we were out on a fishing charter trip, and that allowed us to enjoy our time without worrying about our dog. Highly recommend her to other people who are going out on a fishing boat for the day.

House Sitting • Jul 16, 2022

We love Anastasia! We had a lot of anxiety over leaving our pets for a trip but Anastasia made us feel sooo much better while we were away with daily updates and pictures! We have 5 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 hens and she juggled everyone and all their wild needs. 10/10 do recommend :D

Boarding • Oct 02, 2021

Anastasia was absolutely wonderful! My two cats stayed with her while I traveled for work and then staying with her made me feel so much better about having to leave them. She’s super nice, took great care of them, and gave me updates pretty much every day. She’s definitely going to be my go to when I have to travel again.

Anastasia has been watching my dogs on and off for the past few years. I have 3 dachshunds and a special needs elderly toy poodle. They are the first person I call when I’m in need of a sitter. My dogs are my everything and I have no qualms about giving them my house keys. I know my dogs are in good care and my house will be as it was when I left. I have had Anastasia administer medication, feed my pets (each with specific dietary needs), walk them, and do general housekeeping with their cages. Anastasia is a wonderful person and an animal lover and your pet would be in great hands!

Let me know if your dogs are dog friendly, or how they do with children. Also, if your dog has any special care needs, including diet / exercize / medications / medical conditions. These don't factor in my ability to be your pup sitter, i just don't want to be in a pickle after you leave! Also, talk to me about sitting non-dog/cat animals as well! I am happy to care for a large variety of animals.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
