I want to meet your cat!
Pet care experience
Hi- I have been living in North West 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!
Reviews
Reliable, responsible and literally the best photographer we’ve met on Rover. Ann is punctual and responsive. Our cats were in extremely safe hands while we were gone.
Responds quickly, always leaves detailed check in notes—thanks for everything!!
Ann is the best catsitter ever. She takes great photos of the cats and we can tell they love her! Thank you so much, Ann, we really appreciate your attention and care.
Ann is our go-to sitter for my 3 year old cat! She gives him so much sweet attention and has been incredibly reliable and easy to work with. She always sends many photos at each visit and has rolled with unexpected issues with our apartment keys more than once. I strongly recommend Ann to everyone!

Skills
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.
Information Ann R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet’s feeding schedule as well as any medications or supplements that need to be administered. I’d also like to know your pet’s favorite activities!
A typical day
I tailor my visits to your specific pet’s needs. I enjoy relaxing with a book with a lap cat, ‘hunting’ treats with an exploration kitty or reading a loud to a shy kitty.
Services
Ann can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work shifts at the Humane Society. I spend time with kitty friends either before or after my shift. I have more flexibility on the days I’m not at the Humane Society.
