Pet care experience
Pet Sitting with Heart
I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
Ratings and reviews
Anna was awesome! We have a really shy puppy and she was great with her. She was really responsive and kept us updated throughout the day. We will definitely ask Anna to help us with our two pups again!
Anna was available for Maisie on super short notice and went above and beyond for her and for me. She kept me updated and Maisie loved her! She is very professional and really loves and enjoys what she does. We appreciate Anna and we will be using her again in the near future!
Really great at communication and giving updates!
Anna is a sweet and conscientious sitter who has taken wonderful care of our dog. She is always in communication and is very prompt. I highly recommend her!
Anna is such a conscientious pet sitter. She is prompt, communicates well, and cares about my dog. Oliver threw up while she was visiting, and she reached out immediately and didn't leave until I could get home. I appreciate her knowledge of the potential issues and willingness to do what was best for him.
Anna was great! She was very kind and responsive. I really appreciated that she regularly shared photos of our Max while we were out of town. We will be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends.

- Before caring for any pet, I like to learn their routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and personality so I can provide the best possible care. This includes any medications, special instructions, and things they love or don’t like. I also pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort around new people to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel happy and secure while their owner is away.
