Highlights
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!

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Wonderful experience! Anna was incredibly flexible, accommodating and made travel that much easier as I didn't have to worry about my pet!
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.
We can't thank Anna enough for the kindness and support she showed our family during a very difficult time. Although I had scheduled a few visits for my cat, Tipper, I had to cancel most of them because her condition worsened around the time they were scheduled. Anna was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and understanding throughout the process. She truly went above and beyond, offering the kind of care and compassion you'd normally only expect from someone close to you. I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a compassionate pet sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future.
Anna did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties! We had just moved into a new apartment and were nervous about leaving them for a trip, but Anna made it easy. She kept both food stations and litter boxes filled, and we loved getting photos on every Rover visit. Thanks, Anna! We'll definitely book her again! 😸😺
Anna was awesome! Very communicative and responded quickly. Did an awesome job with our kitties! Would definitely rebook!
Anna took wonderful care of our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable, kind, and attentive, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in such caring hands. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and clearly treated our cat with genuine care and affection. When we came home, everything was just as we had left it, and our cat was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate Anna’s professionalism and thoughtfulness. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
