About Anna R.
Safety, trust & environment
My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I provide gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions. While I am a Cat Whisperer, my care for all animals goes above and beyond. I treat others as I want to be treated: keeping honesty, safety, and high quality care with positive loving energy at the forefront.
Information Anna R. would like to know about your pet
When it comes to dogs, just please let me know if your dog(s) has any nervous habits of biting or growling etc. As long as I am fully prepped with what to expect and how to handle it, then I'm happy to do it, I just don't want any surprise bites! I can confidently handle anything that comes at me with a cat from a lifetime of experience. I have absolutely no fear and extensive knowledge of how to handle all cat behaviors.
A typical day
I love to play with all animals 😁 I also love exercising and walking outdoors so it would be a pleasure to walk a dog. I have high energy and I'm not afraid to pick up a slobbery ball and throw it over and over again. I'm great at engaging cats of all ages and helping them benefit from therapeutic play 😺

Pet care experience
Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I practice Reiki (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover! ✨😊✨

Reviews
I’ve known Anna Lyra for 10 years. During this time I’ve witnessed her care for many different kinds of animals. She has a natural ability to connect with them. I’ve seen her take care of many people’s pets, and she’s always been reliable and professional, going above and beyond to provide the best care for each client’s specific needs. She would be a valuable asset to anyone needing assistance with their animal companion. Highly recommend!
Anna Lyra is an incredible healer and caretaker that anyone would be lucky to have take care of their pets. She goes above and beyond and your pets will thank you and glow after her sessions. If you are considering a new caregiver for your cat or dog you cannot go wrong with Anna Lyra, she is our go to when in need! Thank you for loving our fur babies! -Daphni, Sid & Chance
Anna Lyra is a true friend of felines, animal lover and incredible caring human to every creature she encounters. She brings attentive presence, years of practical experience, love and genuine intuition and almost 6th sense to the cats she cares for. She has an uncanny knack for attuning with what a cat needs in order to feel comfortable— whether that’s figuring how they like to play, how they like to be pet, whether they need space, what they like to earn, and so on. Watching her connect with a cat, it’s easy to see this is Anna’s joy in life. I have truly never met a person more tapped into the world of cats! If you’re looking for a trusted companion and caretaker for your precious fur baby who will go the extra mile to get to know exactly what your cat (or dog!) needs, Anna is your person✨
Anna has such a special way with animals. She was extremely helpful for me as a first time kitty mom. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to animals, but even more importantly she is able to connect deeply with animals in a way that is very intuitive. They calm down in her presence. My kitties are always happy to see her and spend time with her. I highly recommend her as a loving pet caregiver. Her love, care and presence with animal friends is extraordinary. I am very grateful for all her help and I plan to continue to work with her in the future.
