Behavior in general and with new people would be great to know. Ways owner consoles their pet if there is separation anxiety. If house sitting I ask if my daughter can be with me, occasionally on walks as well, This can ensure longer availability.

We can play catch, explore any nearby parks or safe walkways. I have treats if given by owner to share with your pup or okays any treats I can bring. Will set calming music or cartoons for them on YouTube in between visits if allowed

Hello 😊

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Anica! I am a single mother of one ten year old girl. I have always loved animals, I think they need to be treated with love and care. I have baggies and treats if none are provided. I myself own one cat, have raised a few animals in the past, visit animal sanctuaries and pet expos, and have been walking pets of all sizes/breeds across alexandria and neighboring areas for almost 3 years now! Please let me know any info on having a great visit with your pet, always looking forward to making a new fur friend🌸🐶🐱 Use my Promo Code: ANICAM64197 it gives pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking

Anica took such good care of our dog and cat. Even though our cat is spicy, she still went out of her way to engage with her safely! When our dog got a tick, she removed it for us instead of waiting for us to get home. She was also super flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. It was such a comfort when things were chaotic, we knew Anica was taking great care of our babies. Will definitely be using her services again!

Anica kept me well updated on my cat while I was away. She even picked up some cat litter for me when I ran out!

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.
