My name is Ann, and animals of all kinds have been part of my family since I came into this world. I’ve been a sitter on Rover since 2017 and looking after pets (my own and others') for almost 20 years. Please message me to inquire about care for any creature(s), big or small. It never hurts to ask me, even if you're simply curious about availability, custom rates, or my different services! If you're searching for dog care, rest assured I have experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and sizes. I have owned and cared for four dogs (+ a plethora of other pets) at once while growing up. I have spent countless hours volunteering at local animal shelters walking dogs, cleaning cages/kennels, and monitoring/providing socialization. I’ve raised rambunctious puppies and tended to the needs of elderly dogs with compassion. I'm not just a dog person, though. I love ALL pets! I have the interest and know-how to pet sit for almost any animal you can imagine. Many of my repeat clients are cat owners. I also have years of personal experience and prior knowledge in caring for various species of reptiles and amphibians, birds, small mammals, and freshwater fish. Exotic pets? Livestock? Let's talk! When I'm not caring for pets, you can expect to find me spending quality time with nature. I live for road trips and camping adventures with my current dogpanion, Luna, a tripawd rescue dog from Puerto Rico's Save-a-Sato program. We moved to Oregon from Upstate New York in 2017 and can't imagine calling anyplace else home!

Safety, trust & environment
◈ WHAT TO EXPECT ◈ Most of the services I offer will be in and around your home. With that in mind, rest assured you can trust me to be responsible, careful, and respectful of what's yours. I always try to leave your house better than I found it and keep a very low profile. Clear communication is essential to me, and you can count on me to promptly address any questions or issues that may arise before, during, and after my stay. I am privately insured through PCI (Pet Care Insurance), so booking with me ensures additional assurance and protection for myself, you, and your pets. I accept boarding requests on a case-by-case basis for repeat clients only. Daycare requests are typically handled the same way, but I am always open to a meet and greet to see if your pet(s) might be a good fit. I can provide outdoor adventures or in-your-home care as an alternative to daycare at my place. When your pet is in my home, they will be treated with the same love and care as my own. I have a small fenced-in backyard and a rarely-occupied dog park near my apartment. My patient, polite pooch, Luna, is a great companion for shy and low-energy dogs. She adores romping around with tiny, small, and medium-sized breeds once she gets to know them; otherwise, her main game is playing chase with dogs of any size. I also own two very affectionate adult male cats. One is indifferent about any other pet’s presence, and the other takes a little while to warm up to higher-energy pets.
Ratings and reviews
Ann was a huge help, as always! She is so great about making sure my mom’s cats are well cared for.
Ann is fantastic! She has watched my parents’ cats for several years and is always so sweet to them and so communicative to us. She always makes sure they have excellent care and attention. My mom feel so much better knowing Ann is watching her babies.
Ann has been cat sitting for my parents for a few years now and has always been fantastic! She sends great updates, goes above and beyond and the cats love her - even the shy one! 🤗 She always puts my mom’s mind at ease. She wouldn’t be comfortable traveling without Ann’s kitty care.
My little evil bunnies love Ann!
Another great cat sitting weekend by Ann! My mom has been using Ann for a few years now and she is always so kind and reliable. Thank you for the peace of mind. :)
Ann takes great care of our cats!

Schedule
After many years of providing pet care services as a hobby and side gig, I now work full-time as a pet sitter and dog walker. My other work consists of freelance projects (marketing, photography, and writing), which still allows me plenty of time to love on both my pets and yours. I make my own schedule, and the pets in my care always take precedence.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsAnn can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
- When sending me a booking request, please respond to what applies to you and your pet in the list below if the answers aren’t already included in your pet’s profile on Rover. FOR ALL PETS: - Health conditions (any allergies? current medications?) - Can I give them treats? Do they have favorites or restrictions? - Typical activity level and feeding schedule - Nervous habits, triggers, or weird quirks to be aware of? - How long can they be left alone/unsupervised? - Have they had a sitter before? Was it someone they knew? - Do they enjoy attention from humans? Where are their favorite spots to get pets? DOGS ONLY: - Level of training (housebroken? known commands, leash manners, etc.) - Are they dog-friendly? * Please inform me of any history of reactive behaviors. Disclosure of reactivity or aggression will NEVER write off any dog with me; I just need to be aware ahead of time. I request that first-time housesitting clients send me an up-to-date write-up of their pet's daily routine before the first stay. Thank you in advance!
- These prices are for 1 dog.
