Peace of Mind for Pet & Home

Pet care experience

*Available for sitting in Waltham & Bordering towns Only* Dogs (and cats) have always been a major part of my life. I grew up always having both, and when raising my own family we had a total of 7 pets- all rescues: 2 senior goldens, 1 senior lab/greyhound mix, 2 feral rescue Maine Coon Cats (siblings), a senior Bassett Hound, and our first pet- a feral kitten we rescued at a relatives home who lived to be 21. They had all crossed the Rainbow Bridge when we sold the family home and apartment life has not allowed me to continue having more. That was when I heard about Rover and became a pet sitter since 2016, while looking for full-time work. Pet sitting was the best "work" I ever had, and loved every pet I had the pleasure of being with. I really enjoyed the clients I had come to know, but had to put it all on hold a year ago when I moved 45 minutes west of Boston, and started a full-time job commuting daily. But now that I have settled into all this, I realized it would be possible to open myself up to doing this again for people who are in a 15-20 minute radius of my work In Waltham, MA. I have had clients whose pets were used to being alone for the length of a work day, and within that radius of travel we could discuss a midday visit if needed (of course no additional charge). So any client in this area, for whom my work schedule would fit their pets needs, would also have all my time, attention and care outside of work hours and on weekends, as I cherish any "my time" with pets at least as much (maybe more?) as they do. Keeping your pet in their home reduces separation anxiety and makes your vacation as seamless as possible. I'd absolutely love to come watch your pup or pets in your home- for me the biggest pleasure in life is time spent with kids or pets . I have a particular amount of experience tending to medical issues/needs because of my senior rescues. I also bring the experience and wisdom of having been a home-owner for over 25 years, and all the things that come up with that. But most importantly, the welfare of every pet is my first priority- including being sure you find the best fit for your pet's needs, whoever that might be. So be sure to check out my reviews from my clients and if you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to ask or we can set up a Meet&Greet- it is always a pleasure to meet a new pet!

Ann was awesome. My dogs took to her right away and she was very professional and accommodating to my needs. I recommend her highly.

Ann did a great job watching my two pups. Right away she sat down on the ground with them, which was huge in my book. My girl is full of energy and I came home to a relaxed and happy pup, which I know means that she got a ton of attention. My boy is a senior dog that needs medication and patience and Ann did a great job with him. She sent daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout the stay. The house was also very clean when I returned. Great job! I will rebook again.

Ann was great with the pets -she made sure that they were comfortable with her before we left and sent us daily updates on how they were all doing! They all seemed in great spirits when we returned.

Ann was great, she was attentive about our instructions (since she had to give medicine to our dog), asked good questions and took care of everything, while communicating it to us clearly. I would definitely request her services again in the future.
