I work full time as a civil engineering instructor but mixed in-office and from home, but since I mostly set my own schedule, I’m pretty flexible. I’m free on weekends without much restriction.

Safety, trust & environment

I can chat with your pet so they can tell me about their day or I can tell them puns nonstop. I can play with them until they are nice and hungry, prep their food how they need it, give meds if needed, and take care of their bathroom. I am also Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified.

Information Ann S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are special needs, medications to administer, or something I should watch out for in their bathroom breaks. Please let me know if they are on any special diets.

A typical day

For cats, I like to sit on the floor with them for playtime. Making puzzles for them to solve is fun like finding the toy under a blanket.

Empathetic nerdy cat person 🐈

Pet care experience

I’ve been cat and dog sitting for neighbours, colleagues and friends since I was 11 years old. I’m patient and empathetic, especially with anxious pets. I can even get rambunctious kitties of friends to let me trim their claws and give oral meds if needed for the little one. I’ve had the joy of working with kitties from a few months to age experienced :) I am also Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified and additionally insured beyond Rover guarantee.

Ann was such a great find! She’s personable and clearly knows cats and how to deal with them. Our three are all very different, with a weird separation schedule, and she handled so them with ease. We will definitely be contacting her for our next trip. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to know more or want a reference.

Ann is always a great help and takes good care of my animals. This time, not only did she take care of my cat and my fish, but she also took care of my new cat who is still getting used to the house. Everyone was happy and healthy when I got home. It’s always easy to take a short vacation knowing she’s able to watch my animals

Ann is great with my cat and I am also very confident that she will watch over my house and take care of the fish and other little critters I have too. She is great

We love booking with Ann, and so does our cat! She’s always so good with him and sends us the best updates and photos while we’re away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
