Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets in your home by carefully following your instructions and paying close attention to their body language and behavior. Since animals can’t communicate with words, their movements and behavior are key to understanding their needs and comfort levels. I make sure to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Information Anna D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or behaviors I should be aware of to ensure their safety as well as mine.

A typical day

I will play with them with toys you may provide, go on long walks with them, and ensure their tails are wagging at all times!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal care and hands-on experience with a variety of animals. As a junior at UMass Amherst studying Biology Pre-Med and Animal Science Pre-Vet, I’ve worked with both household pets and larger farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of their needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and caring for both young and senior pets who require extra attention. I’ve worked at PetSmart as a Pets Hotel Associate, where I have cared for over one thousand different dogs and sixty cats. My academic knowledge and real-world experience allow me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet I watch.

Anna took such great care of our pups! We highly recommended her if you need anyone to take care of your pets while you’re away!

Anna was such a great sitter for my dog Stick. I was away with little to no cell service, yet Anna still left me multiple messages and photos letting me know how everything was going. Anna also made sure that everything she needed from me in regards to caring for Stick was taken care of before I left. This made me feel very confident in her abilities to care for my little guy. I would highly recommended.

Anna is an exceptional pet caregiver who is both responsible and deeply compassionate. She worked tirelessly at an overnight kennel, ensuring every pet received the attention, care, and comfort they needed. Her dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make her stand out. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, Anna goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved. Her reliability and keen attention to detail make her a trusted choice for any pet owner. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I highly recommend Anna without hesitation!
