Pet care experience

An aspiring & caring veterinarian!

Since the young age of 5, I have wanted to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. It has been a path I have wanted to pursue for all of my academic career. Currently, I am a full-time student at UC Davis and I am an Animal Science major. Throughout my education, I participated in a year-long course for veterinary assistants, completed various internships regarding animals, have taken several animal science related classes, volunteered at a vet clinic, and I watch educational videos regarding animals and domestic pets every day. I have been a cat owner most of my life, so I did not have a lot of experience with dogs prior to working at animal clinics and working as a pet sitter through Rover. After garnering experience with dogs, I have loved them even more and I am willing to expand my knowledge of dogs further! I am very attentive with taking care of animals and I learn incredibly fast. When I volunteered at a veterinary clinic and since working at Rover, I have walked numerous dogs, fed them, washed them, and learned how to play with them. I have also walked a friend’s dog many times in my free time. When it comes to dogs, I am aware of how they need a lot of attention and I can provide that! If the dog has separation anxiety, I spend extra time taking care of them, playing with them and cuddling with them. I try my hardest to play with the dog as much as they want and even walk extra if the dog wants it. I make sure that their food and water bowls are filled, groom them if the owner requests it, to be attentive with their behavior and watch them at all times, make sure they don’t get into anything during their walks, and clean up after them on walks. If the dog has a disability, I will try my best to accommodate them and help them as much as I can so they are comfortable. I love certain dog breeds incredibly! I enjoy bigger dogs like huskies, golden retrievers, and labradors! I think they are so cute and their size makes them more adorable. I adore personality-driven dogs as well like shiba inu’s and corgi’s! All dogs are great, but I have a soft spot for bigger dogs and ones who have big personalities!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I only am able to care for pets in their own homes because of my own pets. Moreover, in clients homes I will make sure to lock doors and enter carefully without letting pets escape. I also make sure no food is around animals that can harm them or chemicals. I will clean up after each visit and after I walk a dog. Furthermore, I’ll keep the food and water bowls filled, litter box cleaned, and take care of pets as needed. Lastly, I am always careful when first meeting a pet and build up their trust.

Amazing sitter!! Very attentive to the needs of your babies. Always asks questions if something is off with one of your furbabies and double checks any instructions that might be confusing. Very caring with my furbabies, I will be using her again!!!

Anna was great, especially because I had to book last minute. She took great care of my quirky little guy and he seemed to really like her. Will definitely book with her again!

Anna took amazing care of my two cats while we were away. She sent photo updates, followed feeding instructions and showed a lot of love to my cats. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy house. Highly recommended.

Dog Walking • Aug 09, 2026

Anna helped me with a last minute request for dog-walking. She is responsive, detail-oriented, and thorough. Her questions about their care needs reflect genuine interest in the dog’s wellbeing and comfort. She was also careful to know how to get in/out of the home, and checked in with me about many details. I appreciated how comprehensive her thinking is. I could see from the photos how comfortable my dogs were very comfortable with her over the one hour visit. 10/10 would work with again.

Please let me know whatever disability or specific needs your pet may have. I am practicing to become a veterinarian in the future, and I would love to help out any animal regardless of what needs it has. Furthermore, if your pet has aggression issues make sure to tell me so I know how to navigate around their behavior and help them. When booking a service with me, make sure to provide as many details as possible so I can help your pets out!
