Safety, trust & environment

I adore ALL animals and it will truly show in my care for your pets, always! Guaranteed! Their safety, well-being and happiness is my main concern!

Information Anna R. would like to know about your pet

What breed or mix of breeds, age, special needs, allergies do they have? I don’t necessarily have a preference, but retrievers are are my all time favorite breed and what I have always had myself :). Can your pet be left alone, if so, crate or roam free, and for how long? Do they have any quirks, stressors, temperaments, something I should pay extra attention to? For example, a tendency to bolt out the door or afraid of thunder storms, maybe they have a thunder fest? My Toby does! How do you handle poor and good behavior, what expectations do you have for me? Are there any medical needs, what are my instructions in case of an emergency’s ,or do you have someone I can leave your pet with in case I have a family emergency to attend to? Lastly that I can think of at the moment, are there any extra services I will be expected to do? I’m here and happy to help make it easier for you!

A typical day

Walks, play time, parks, car rides, or just snuggle time. I can provide a bath for your dog if you prefer after playtime. Also field trips are more than welcome. Maybe there’s a special park or hiking trail you’d like us to check out, or maybe would like to see a friendly face on your lunch break! Well we can visit! Pick up and drop off rates are extra, please message for details. Whether a walk around the neighborhood or just spending quiet quality time together is up to you and more importantly your pup! I believe and am sure to always let them take the take the lead, to an extent ☺️. I am more than happy to provide any activity that makes your pet happy while keeping you at ease knowing they will get all the exercise and attention they choose.

Have your dog spoiled w/extra love!

Pet care experience

I feel incredibly lucky to have always shared my home—and my heart—with dogs, starting as young as six months old. Over the years, I’ve cared for pups in just about every situation: dog walking, sitting, helping with training (both classes and at home), puppy care, vet visits, grooming and bathing, keeping their space clean and safe, giving medications, and even providing rides when needed. But my favorite part will always be giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Dogs have been a part of my life since day one, and I truly believe everyone should grow up with a pup, just like I did! I am 100% flexible and can easily adjust to the time to fulfill your needs. Whether you have a trip planned months in advance or need a hand just hours in advance, I am available and more than happy to assist in making your everyday busy life as stress free as possible. Whatever big or small, old or young, timid or playful; all pets are unique and I always customize their care to their individual. I am eager to provide the undivided attention just as they deserve! I love to go for walks and hike, and my passion for dogs is unmeasurable! Taking your pup for a walk or stopping by for a visit will bring me so much joy. I am genuinely eager and readily available to to continue my journey with rover. I always provide updates and stay touch as frequently it takes for you to be comfortable, you can see for yourself how happy & safe they are in my care. You will never have to worry about your pets’ well-being! I can guarantee your pet & home will be treated with 100% respect just as if they were my own. New to Rover?

Anna is so delightful and clearly a dog lover. She communicated so well and sent loads of pictures/videos (which I love). It made me feel so at ease knowing she was there with my pups and watching them clearly enjoy spending time with her. Will definitely use Anna in the future. She’s so thoughtful, kind and I’m so grateful I found her.
