Pet care experience

Born to Love Them All! 🐾

I’m Aniya (un-eye-yah) and I am 100% here for you and your pets! Let me know if this is your first time using Rover so I can give you a discount! 🥰 I’ve been pet sitting in the Gainesville area for nearly 4 years now, and I love giving your pets the best care possible! 🩵 Caring for your fur babies is definitely my calling! I graduated from UF in May of 2023 with my bachelor’s in Animal Science on the pre-veterinary track. I am currently in another gap year before applying to vet school! I truly understand how hard it can be to find a good, trustworthy pet sitter for your baby. You can expect me to follow your instructions, send you detailed updates, cute pictures, and care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Courtesy and respect are very important, so please know that I will always treat your home/personal space with care. I’ve cared for multiple cats, dogs, birds/chickens, and fish all within the same household! I’ve also worked in the kennel/boarding area of an animal hospital for half a year, and during that time, my priority was to make sure the dogs and cats were comfortable being that it was an unfamiliar environment for most of them.

Safety, trust & environment

Meet and greets can be scheduled. I would love to meet you and talk to you about your pet and their quirks! I grew up with dogs, so I am used to taking care of 2-5 dogs at a time. I also have plenty of experience with puppies. My first dog, Tinkerbell, had a litter of 8 that my sister and I raised. Since the age of 10, I have taken care of the dogs/cats of family and friends while they were out of town. I can't wait to meet you and your furry kids!

Aniya is AMAZING!! My husband and I have used her twice now and I cannot brag enough about her! She cares for my babies like they are hers! She spends quality time with them and makes sure they are well taken care of in every way possible! I will continue to use Aniya when we travel! She brings us so much peace of mind!

Aniya always goes above and beyond in caring for our boys. They love her and are very happy to see her for her 2 daily check-ins.

Always goes the extra mile, and then some. Whereas others seem to do the minimum they can get away with in life, Aniya does more and more. Truly a godsend. Thank you!

As always, Aniya was great caring for our boys. She kept us well informed throughout our time away. She could have a very successful career in pet photography too! We'll definitely be calling on her again.

Schedule

I am also the mother of a pomchi (Kota) who is very spoiled and has minor separation anxiety. I know how difficult it can be for your fur baby when you have to leave! My main priorities will be taking care of your baby, playing with them, and making sure they're in good health/spirits while you're away! ☺️ I’m very detail-oriented and observant. Your pet will be in good hands. I absolutely love my clients and go the extra mile for them!

Aniya can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
Meal measurements/serving size? What is their personality like? Do they have any aggression triggers I should know about? Any areas in your home your pet should not be in? Anything I need to keep in mind or anything specific you would like for me to do? What commands do you use? Is it okay for your dog to walk by/greet other dogs on our walk? Please be sure to give me detailed instructions or leave a note before my arrival if you wish to do so!
