Pet care experience

Heartfelt pet care in Central Iowa

As a dog mama myself, I understand that our dogs are more than just our pets. They’re an integral part of our family! I strive to provide them with the necessary care they need, but also the enrichment they need to thrive and live a happy life. I love to play with them, take them out for walks, and provide them with love and pets. It’s important to me that they are not just physically cared for, but they are mentally stimulated through play and emotionally cared for at every visit. I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet". Requested information about your pet -Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact

Safety, trust & environment

I have a heart for animals along with the patience needed to give quality pet care. Your pet will always come first and I would treat them as if they are my own.

Anna is a great caretaker for your pet; as she is detailed and organized. She will read your directions carefully and will follow through. She provides great customer service and ask any questions as they come up. Every interaction with Anna will put you at ease that your pet is cared for and loved on just as you would have provided a safe place for them.

Anna is the god-dog-mother to my dog and is committed to being the best caretaker and god-dog-mother she can be for our pets. She is gentle, understanding, and loves giving our dogs all the attention they require (which is extensive). She has/has had pets of her own and is knowledgeable in taking care of people's beloved pets and willing to adjust to each pets specific needs. I would definitely recommend her for pet-sitting needs!!

Schedule

I currently work on a hybrid schedule - 3 days in West Des Moines and 2 days at home in Ankeny. I have a flexible schedule where I can pop around to your pet when needed.

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Anna can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog has any preferences in games/treats/etc. and if they have any quirks in their behavior I should know about. I also want to hear about what things might make them feel nervous or threatened.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
