Belly Rub & Cuddle Expert

Pet care experience

My referral code ANNAB94318, https://www.rover.com/sit/annab94318 *Available most weekends- Friday @ 4pm until Sunday @ 4pm. Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Anna and I've had my own petsitting and dog walking business for the past 5 years. I've been taking care of animals all my life and I believe all animals are unique and deserve unconditional love. I have 2 dogs myself and they are definitely my babies! When I leave them in someone's care, I want only the most responsible, loving, and attentive person. I worry about them all the time and anxiously wait for photographic evidence that my dogs are healthy and happy! My own experience as a pet parent, genuine love of animals, high standards, and customer service skills makes me one of the best pet sitters in the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County. I'm the type of person who will sit down on the floor with your dog or cat, give lots of pets and grab the nearest toy. If your pet loves giving kisses and cuddling, I'm all about that! However, I do have experience with rescue dogs so if your pet is skittish, shy, or has other behavioral problems, that's okay too! Please let me know what your pet is and is not comfortable with. The health, safety and well-being of your pet is paramount to me and I will always be in communication with you by sharing pictures and updates. My goal is to make sure that your pet is comfortable, healthy and happy while they are in my care. If I have even the slightest doubt that your pet is sick or in pain, I will contact you and we will discuss how to proceed. There have been only two times in my 5 years as a sitter where I took a pet to the vet and I never hesitate to do so. Animals have always been an important part of my life. My mom is a huge animal lover and encouraged my brother and I to take care of our own animals too. We had our wonderful dog, a Min Pin named "Littlefoot." He joined our family when I was 3 years old and passed away from cancer when I was a Junior in high school. I still miss and cherish him very much! We also had birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, a frog and toad, fish, a snake, and a leopard gecko who is about 23 years old now. At one point we had 17 animals in the house and it was practically a zoo! I am greatful for this experience because it taught me the responsibility involved in caring for animals and the joy it brings as well. I grew up in Newbury Park and in 2017 I received a B.A in Sociology from CSU Channel Islands. I love school and hope to one day earn a master's degree in sociology, history, or philosophy. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your pets!

Anna is the most professional and communicative sitter we have ever had. She was thoughtful and made a point to keep us filled in on how our pups were doing every day we were away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!

Anna was a GODSEND for us! We just rescued two pups this week, and had to be away one of the weekend nights 6 days after getting the 3 year old - Beau, and two days after getting the 6 month old - Honey (both pittie mixes, unrelated). We needed someone to just keep an eye on them while we were gone, help keep them comfortable and calm. Anna had a great profile and reviews, so we contacted her. The pups are still getting to know each other, Beau has an injured leg, Honey was just spayed, so juggling keeping them separated and content was important! The 3 year old was training well, but the puppy was having separation anxiety issues and didn’t want to be in her pen. She would rile up Beau when she heard a noise. The dog sitting would be over dinner time. Long story (sort of) short- it was A LOT to manage. Anna was so positive and relaxed- clearly comfortable with managing the two. She obviously sincerely loves dogs. She was patient with the puppy and gave her the structured attention she needed while still getting Beau affection. She was responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures. I was so worried, but she set my mind at ease. They were by no means an easy pair, and she handled it like the pro she is! Can’t recommend her enough! Anna is wonderful!

Anna was wonderful with my cats. She sent pictures and they clearly adored her. She got the house ready for my return and even left me a couple of gifts! She is calm and nurturing and my cats were very happy. Thank you Anna!

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and well-being of your pet is the most important thing to me. I am very careful about doors, fences, and gating and I will always make sure those things in your home and backyard are adequately closed/locked. I provide my full attention to your dog while on walks. I don't browse the internet while walking a dog or wear headphones because it's irresponsible and dangerous. I only use my phone to take pictures to send you.

Information Anna B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know food preparation, medications, allergies, and vet details in case of an emergency. I also want to know the things that makes your pup or cat special- personality traits, favorite toys, spots to be rubbed, etc. :)

A typical day

My go to activity is to sit on the floor with your dog or cat and play with some of their favorite toys, provide belly rubs, go on walks, and just hang out with them!
