Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for your pets like my own!
Hello! After taking over a dog walking business for a friend while she was pregnant in 2014, I realized I enjoy meeting new dogs and wanted that experience to become a part of my daily life. I started using Rover in 2016 and have since provided almost 10 years of care through the app in both IL and CO. I currently work from home and therefore am able to provide consistent company, attention, and active engagement for your friend. I have experience with a wide variety of care-taking tasks such as administering oral medications, eye/ear drops, and IM/IV/SubQ medications, (I used to work in the medical field and have worked with diabetic pets before.) I mostly enjoy being active with pets as I consider myself an athletic individual and I believe cuddle time is well-deserved after a long walk or an energetic play session. As a result, I am particularly interested in working with larger or younger dogs, although I love low-maintenance couch potatoes too! : ) I would consider myself an ideal sitter for someone who is not seeking to introduce their pets to unknown animals and would prefer their pet remain in an environment that is familiar to them unless otherwise requested. I only work with one client at a time. I would be honored to not only work around your dog’s specific needs, but to also keep you updated throughout the day about their well-being via prompt communication. From a video call from your pup to messaging via the app or SMS, I am happy to get in touch with you at least twice a day about my time spent with your furry friend. Although I currently do not have a dog of my own, I used to have a German Shorthair Pointer and currently have one cat who lives with my husband and I. I had a hedgehog in my high school/university years and have provided long-term care to a chinchilla as well. Additionally, I have cared for rats, fish, goats, geckos, and iguanas so I would feel comfortable working with them as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and message me!

Ratings and reviews
Anna was great with my cat! She spent extra time with her to get more playtime in. She was very respectful of my place and did everything I asked. Will definitely have her back!
We cannot say enough good things about Ana! We hired her to house sit and pet sit during our vacation, and we were very nervous about leaving our five-month-old puppy for the first time. From day one, she made everything feel easy and completely worry-free. She kept us updated every morning and evening, sent lots of pictures, and clearly gave our puppy so much care and attention — plenty of walks, cuddles, and patient, expert handling of teething/nipping. It was also such a relief to have someone we trusted at the house to bring in packages and mail and let our cleaning crew in. We came home to a happy puppy and a house that was in the exact condition we left it (maybe even a bit cleaner!). Overall, an excellent experience — we’d hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her highly.
Anna did a fantastic job walking our dog. She was on time, super professional and great with our dog. We highly recommend her.
Anna took care of our cat, Jovie, for 10 days while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, her communication was excellent-she reached out before we booked to come over for a meet and greet where she asked thoughtful questions and made sure she fully understood Jovie’s needs. During our time away, Anna kept us updated regularly through Rover and text, which gave us a real peace of mind. Jovie was unsure of Anna at first (she can be shy with new people), but Anna was so patient and caring. She took the time to build her trust, play with her, and make sure she felt safe and cared for. We were so grateful for the attention and effort Anna put in! We can’t recommend her enough!
This was the second time Anna stayed with my dog. Just like the first time, Anna sent me pictures and updates about the walks she took with my dog and just in general how things were going. She left my home spotless and even washed the towels and sheets plus remade the bed. I highly recommend Anna as a pet sitter though it may mean she won’t be available when I need her because she’ll already be booked. She’s the best!!!
Anna was thoughtful and thorough from the first meeting. She asked good questions about our dog’s needs. During her stay with Emie, she dealt with gastric upset and diarrhea, unfortunately, and did so with calm, attention to Emie’s needs as well as addressing our concerns from out of town. Before leaving, Anna did laundry and left the house spotless. She’s great and we can’t wait to use her again!

Schedule
As mentioned above, I work from home/remotely from my laptop — as long as I have WiFi, I can easily spend the whole day with your pup.
