✨✨ Independently Insured & Licensed ✨✨ 20 Years of Professional & Experienced Pet Care and House Sitting Services Specializing in Senior, Special Needs, and Multi-Pet Care with a Background in Veterinary Clinic Care & Animal Rescue (Fear Free Certification In Progress!) 🐶🐱🐰🐷🐔🐢🐠🐍🦎🐹 My name is Anna, and although I’m new to the Rover platform, I have professional experience working in vet clinics, rescues, and shelters, and I have more than 20 years of pet sitting and house sitting experience! I’ve dedicated my life to animals and have cared for countless animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, chickens, fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, and other exotics! After college, I gained even more professional experience beginning as a Kennel Technician before becoming a Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Surgical Technician, and eventually the Clinic Manager. After I left private veterinary practice to pursue a career in animal rescue, I served as the Manager of a successful nonprofit dog rescue. In this role, I coordinated with shelters, fosters, and adopters all while caring for 30 dogs per day and serving the public in order to rehome over 500 dogs per year. As part of my daily duties, I also arranged their veterinary care and monitored their recovery and overall wellbeing. When my own senior dogs required more care and medical attention, I pivoted to remote work with an in-home veterinary hospice service. In this role, I received emergency assessment training for many species in order to help pet parents ascertain if their pet needed emergency medical assistance. This afforded me the opportunity to hone my instincts about what constitutes an emergency, what to do in an emergency, and, more importantly, how to prevent emergencies. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to pets and animal welfare. I am always seeking out opportunities for continuing education, such as attending the Humane Society’s annual animal welfare conference or completing an apprenticeship at Austin Pets Alive!, or binge-watching animal training tutorials. In my personal life, I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles and amphibians as pets ever since I was a child. As an adult, I was privileged to adopt a special needs dog named Fizzgig, who introduced me to the rewarding experience of caring for seniors. He changed my life and my heart forever, not to mention my career path. Since Fizz, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two other senior / special needs rescue dogs of my own, as well as fostering numerous seniors and special needs dogs. Though Fizzgig and my other senior have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I am still blessed with my 15 year old foster-fail, Sissy - the sweetest pitbull you’ll ever meet. She’s slowing down some, but she still loves her four walks a day, and she’s just a happy, playful, gentle goofball! I take pride in providing experienced, professional care, customized to your pet’s needs, and I always provide the same love and attention I’d want for my Sissy girl. You can trust that your pets will be well-cared for and well-loved with me, and I look forward to meeting y'all!

Notes et avis
Anna was fantastic! Ollie had an amazing time (as was evident by his expression in the photos she sent). If I lived in the area I would absolutely have Anna watch Ollie again. Thank you!
I first met Anna eight years ago when she was working in animal rescue. She was always polite, professional, and put animals first regardless of her personal schedule. So when I needed a petsitter, I knew who to call. While we may not be repeat clients on Rover, we’re actually longtime clients and plan to use Anna for as long as she’s in business. Her attention to detail is often better than ours. For example, when we go out of town, we always buy extra treats out of guilt, and Anna reports back with details about which treats caused digestive issues for each pet. Regardless of stomach issues, she always monitors their eating and bathroom habits and spends extra time with them whenever possible. We can always tell our crew was well cared for not only from the pictures and reports that she sends us but also just how happy they seem and how little they care when we get back.
Anna has been my dogsitter for over a decade. Most recently she cared for my young dog, but in the past she’s taken care of my senior dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, a snake, a rabbit, and bearded dragons - not to mention my plants and vegetable garden!! I literally plan my vacations around her availability. There’s no one else I want caring for my babies!! I especially trust her with medical stuff - she really knows what she’s doing. She administers meds, treats my dogs hot spots from seasonal allergies, and keeps him up his routine to alleviate his separation anxiety. She treats my house like a homeowner would and always leaves it cleaner than she found it. She’s just a wonderful houseguest, and so is her dog Sissy!
Anna provided excellent care for my two senior pups! Anna provided pictures and updates, putting my mind at complete ease while I was traveling. Both of my dogs take medication and need a little extra TLC due to their age and Anna did a wonderful job!

Dates de la garde
SCHEDULE My day revolves around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I provide pet care full time, so my availability is flexible enough to keep your pet’s routine. In other words, your pets come first! I will administer medications on schedule, and if needed, I can also expertly coordinate care with others, including a groomer or veterinarian. I'm also comfortable monitoring animals in recovery. For vacation care, I generally prefer to schedule a minimum of three potty breaks a day not only to ensure your pet’s comfort, exercise, and stimulation, but also to preserve the dignity of your home.

SERVICES Generally, I petsit by referral only to ensure I work with animal lovers whose pets are well-cared for, but a couple of my senior pet clients have crossed the rainbow bridge so I have a little more availability than usual and decided to make a Rover profile. Though my account is on the newer side, I have beaucoup references from current and former clients available upon request. I typically provide care in the client’s home to maintain routine and consistency for your pet(s), and I am currently offering drop-in visits and walks through the Rover platform. I provide boarding and doggy day care in my home and overnight care in the pet's home on a case by case basis, provided your pet gets along with my Sissy girl (you can find her bio on my profile) As Sissy and your pet’s safety is my top priority, our pets would need to meet first to ensure they are a good fit. If you require a service I'm not currently offering, please do not hesitate to reach out :)
Une journée type
At every visit I will provide food and fresh water as needed, meds, a walk and/or play time if you prefer, and of course cuddle time to suit your pet’s wants and needs. And your pet will always be supervised while outside! When staying with me, your dog will enjoy leash walks along the lake (I live right by the LSU lakes) and play time in a large field just one minute’s walk from my home. Pets are always allowed on my couch and in the bed, unless of course it would undermine your training. No matter the service I’m providing, I love taking pet pics for your "pupdates and mews briefs" and will keep in communication with you in order to lessen the heartache and worry that can come with being away from your pet.
