Pet care experience

I want to meet your cat!

Hi- I have been living in NW DC since the 90s and began working with domestic animals professionally at that time in a dog daycare setting. I studied as a veterinary technician and have a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences with an emphasis in Fish and Wildlife. I have work experience ranging from pet retail, pet sitting, dog daycare attendant and animal sheltering. I am very involved in animal welfare. Over the past 10+ years, I have been offering cat sitting to clients in NW DC through a brick and mortar location that has since stopped providing pet sitting services. I would like to continue to be involved with the pets who I have been caring for and reach a few new kitty clients. I have experience administering oral, topical and injectable medications. I’m also more than willing to water indoor and outdoor plants while you are away. If you need a car moved across the street to avoid street sweeping tickets- this can be discussed as well!

Safety, trust & environment

I know how important it is as a pet parent to know your pet is well cared for while you are away. I will diligently follow your directions. Safety and your pet’s health (both physical and mental) are extremely important to me. I can defend a door threshold from escape artists and incorporate enrichment activities into visits.

Will always use Ann to watch out kitties—she’s very communicative, reliable, and good with our boys. 10/10

Ann is so great! She was able to last minute extend for a few more visits when my flight was cancelled. Super communication and she takes the best photos of the cats!
