Safety, trust & environment

We are in a newly constructed house, and although we will be putting in a fence, it is not in yet. Therefore, I would take dogs out on regular potty breaks and my general rule of thumb is two walks per day (but will do whatever your normal routine is or whatever you request). I am committed to your pets safety, so am happy to work with whatever plan works for you!

Pet care experience

I am a life-long pet owner and animal lover who has owned dogs and cats throughout my entire life. Since my teen years, I have been a go to person for friends, family, and neighbors for pet sitting, but my recent retirement is finally allowing me to do what I love. Helping people and being around dogs and cats! I look forward to meeting you and helping you out with your pet needs , so you can rest easy while you are away.

Ann was the BEST sitter Duncan has had!. She was super sensitive to his needs and provided tons of feedback and videos while we were on vacation. He absolutely loved her and her husband.

Ann took wonderful care of our dog, Toby, for two weeks. She was always prompt, caring, and diligent about sending photos, updates, and video clips, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We felt so relieved knowing Toby was in such good hands. Ann is amazing, and we will definitely request her again in the future!

We have used Ann for drop in care of our two dogs, Thor and Theia. They absolutely loved her. More importantly, we felt confident she would take exceptional care of them while we were away. Each visit, we were sent updates on their eating behavior, bathroom status and mental wellbeing. The pictures she sent usually proved they were being spoiled and very happy. Overall, highly recommend Ann for all of your pet needs.

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.
