An inspiring & caring veterinarian!

Pet care experience

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 in college and I am an Animal Biology major. Throughout my education, I participated in a year-long course for veterinary assistants, volunteered at a clinic for a couple months, and I watch educational videos regarding animals and domestic pets every day. I love dogs so much and I am willing to expand my knowledge of dogs and how to take care of them! I am very attentive with taking care of animals and I learn incredibly fast. When I volunteered at a veterinary clinic, I walked a couple dogs, fed them, washed them, and learned how to play with them. I have also walked a friend’s dogs a couple 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 it and play and cuddle with it more. I try my hardest to play with the dog as much as it wants 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!

Anna is my wonderful daughter who has strived to be a veterinarian since she was young. She is a very diligent worker and tries her hardest for every client she works with. My daughter has cared for many animals since high school and has cared for our own pet, Hamlet, whenever needed. She was the first to notice that something was off with our cat, Hamlet, when he was lethargic and sleeping in new places. He drank too much water and his eating habits changed. She took the initiative of taking him to the veterinarian and it was discovered he had developed diabetes. Whenever I am not home, she makes sure to take care of Hamlet and provide him with his daily insulin shot. She is amazing at what she does and she recently was accepted into a competitive Veterinary Summer Program at UC Davis with limited spots. This shows how dedicated she is to animals and helping owners!

If you want someone to take care of your pet carefully and lovingly, Anna is the person to call! She is truly one of a kind with pet sitting and does the most she can for the pet and the owner. She is a wonderful person and is super sweet!❤️ She cared for my elderly cat, Kolya, who had trouble with his eye vision and needed help getting around. Despite these challenges, she performed well and helped out so much. Thank you again for taking care of Kolya!

My friend here is amazing at taking care of your pets! Anna, my friend of several years, has taken care of my dog, Dun, in the past whenever I was out of town. She took marvelous care of him, played with him a lot, gave him many treats, walked him for as long as he needed, and kept a watchful eye on him so he did not destroy anything. Anna as a person is incredibly sweet and strives to make everyone happy as much as possible, but especially your pets! :-)

Anna is a great pet sitter and she cares a lot for her clients! She is very attentive, pays attention to detail, and is incredibly kind. Anna puts in a lot of effort in order to be able to take care of clients properly and she is very respectful of the owners too! She is an incredibly hard worker and as her friend. Prior to Rover, she had taken care of my cat, Cheeto, a handful of times and he was always satisfied! I was happy with her efforts too!

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.

Information Anna M. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs and cats I meet. I make sure to focus on their needs like play time and giving them as much attention as they would like. With dogs, I’ll play ball, make sure they run around as much as possible to get their energy out, and pay attention to how they’re feeling. As for cats, I focus on playing with them on the floor at their level, using various toys like mice and laser pointers, and stick toys with feathers or other toys attached. I always make sure they have something to “catch” if they are playing with a laser toy to not feel frustrated.

I work part-time at the moment. For dog walking and house sitting for long hours, I am able to work Friday-Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I am able to work on Mondays and Wednesdays for half the day after 3 PM. I also do not mind staying later into the evening if necessary like 7-8 PM. I have flexibility in regards to boarding animals in their own homes and visits. I can do visits most of the day and I can do periodic visits most days of the week. Please message me to discuss what times work best for both parties! The times I have listed are flexible and just ask if you need a specific time or Monday/Wednesday, I will see what I can do! :)
