Former vet tech who loves animals

Pet care experience

I just relocated to the Virginia/DC area from Monterey, California. I am excited to be back on the east coast and I look forward to making some new friends here! Right now I am only offering housesitting and drop-in services/walking. I love exotic animals (and farm animals) and I also offer petsitting services for these friends, just send me a message and I can make you a custom booking. I AM MOVING TO THE EAST COAST AFTER JUNE 16TH. I would love to continue caring for your pets here in Monterey but life is taking me and my husband to Washington, D.C. We've had an amazing time here meeting new friends both animal and human. If anyone needs recommendations for new petsitters please message me, I have a few great people I know here on Rover that can take my place when I'm gone. I worked as a veterinary technician for over 5 years before I started working in human medicine. I worked at a veterinary hospital in Georgia for over five years while I completed college. I frequently petsat during high school and college and cared for several animals that were medically fragile. I enjoy bottle-feeding puppies and kittens in my free time. I love all types of animals and can provide advanced medical care to boarding animals. I have worked with all sizes, shapes, and types of animals at the vet clinic and have had many exotic animals of my own. I just completed nursing school and I am currently waiting on my California nursing license. In the meantime, I am enjoying petsitting and exploring the area. My schedule is currently completely open and I will be in town for all holidays. My husband and I live with our 4 dogs on the army base in Monterey. We have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space to play in. We have 2 doves in a birdcage at home but they will not interfere with the dogs. We are unable to host cats in our home due to an allergy but I am available to petsit for cats in your home.

Anna is awesome! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were away. She was great about texting us updates and photos, and we felt so comfortable that our dog was in great hands. I would definitely book with Anna again and highly recommend working with her!

We felt great having an actual vet tech take care of our fur babies. One of them is prone to illness, and this helped ease our worries. The cats loved her! She’s very kind and did a wonderful job of caring for them.

Safety, trust & environment

When I am boarding dogs at my home, they are one of my family and do the same things my dogs are doing. I take everyone outside frequently and I am always throwing a ball or playing tug of war with someone. If I'm napping, the dogs are on the bed with me napping too. Usually everyone is pretty happy to be lounging on the couch or following me around the house while I do my chores. I have a large fenced in yard that I prefer to use to exercise dogs and take them to potty. I am happy to walk dogs around the neighborhood if they need the extra exercise but I do require that the dog has a well fitting harness. Some dogs are master escape artists from their collars/harnesses (little houdinis), so if this is the case for your dog we will be playing inside my fenced in yard instead. My fence is about 6 feet tall so if your dog is capable of jumping higher than this please let me know when booking.

Information Anna L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is dog aggressive with other dogs before we go on a walk or before they enter my home for boarding. I have 4 dogs at home that love to play with new friends and I am always open to play dates as well and socialization training.

A typical day

I love to give belly rubs and take dogs on walks to explore the neighborhood! I am a human nurse and I am able to administer any medical treatment needed.

Petsitting is my full time job so I am home the majority of the day with the dogs! Of course, I do leave to pick up and drop off dogs or go grocery shopping, but 90% of my time is spent at home. I have 4 dogs of my own and 3 birds so taking care of animals is something I enjoy doing. I don't have kids and my husband also assists with animal care when needed (the dogs are my kids let's be honest).
