Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm Anna. I'm a 26 year-old recent graduate working in the international non-profit sector. I have been pet sitting, both professionally and for friends, for several years. I have taken care of dogs representing virtually every breed, age, and health status. I am also excellent with cats. Rover gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I love while saving money to become more financially independent after grad school. *Note: my most recent reviews are from 2017 because I took a break from Rover while studying for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I continued to do occasional house sits for individuals referred to me by friends and family over the years, so I can provide more recent references if needed.
Reviews
Anna goes above and beyond! She is easy to work with, is very communicative, and asks great questions to get to know our pets. Thanks, Anna!
Anna took excellent care of our animals. She was communicative and allowed them to invade her personal space for cuddles as much as they demanded. She left our home spotless and was a great help!
Anna took very good care of our boy. She was thoughtful in her approach to pet care and had great communication. Thank you!
Anna took excellent care of my two cats over Christmas break when she housesat. She asked savvy questions about the cats and the condo at our meet and greet and was very personable and communicative prior to and during her stay. The house was immaculate upon my return. But, I think I buried the lead... she went above and beyond by ferreting out my shy cat in his hiding place under the stairs and feeding him there while ensuring my other friendly cat didn't become a glutton by eating both their food. It was more than I could have asked for and I so appreciate her loving care of both cats. I would totally recommend her and hire her again.

Safety, trust & environment
Having grown up with pets myself, I know how important of a job pet sitting is. As a sitter, I hold myself to high standards; I always leave a home cleaner than I found it (while respecting my client's privacy), I prioritize the emotional well-beings of the dogs I care for (by giving them enough play and walk time and never leaving them alone for longer than their owners request), I make sure to maintain the routines my clients have for their pets (for example, continuing their training with treats and commands or keeping the dogs off the couch), and I make sure to communicate effectively with my clients by keeping my phone with me at all times and sending pictures/updates when requested.
Information Anna E. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know the following about your furry friend: -feeding and exercise routines -medical or behavioral needs -favorites! Toys, walks, parks, everything! -emergency contacts
A typical day
I will make sure to take your dog outside at least twice everyday (apart from just short potty breaks) to enjoy fresh air - which is especially important for dogs living in an apartment. I will also make sure they get in a nice long walk at least once per day, as opposed to just a bathroom break on the block. For dogs who need to run around and play fetch (like Labradors and Shepherds), I'll schedule in quality play time with them in the backyard or in a nearby park (if you deem it safe, of course). I am great at quickly learning what a dog needs to be happy - whether that's outdoor playtime or relaxing time in the evening together before bed.

Availability
I work from home on a light assignment schedule. Therefore, I have lots of flexibility with regard to drop-in visits and house sitting. I have a car and can be pretty much anywhere on any day.
