About Anna R.

100% response rate
Usually responds within a few hours
100% bookings with photo updates

Dog skills

8 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure that I feel confident in knowing what I need to in order to take care of your pet, such as what medications they need to take, where their litter or food is, and very importantly what their favorite toy is.

Information Anna R. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know key information about your dog's medical and dietary needs. I would also love to learn about your dog's behavior and what I can do to make our interactions as positive as possible. For example, if there are any kinds of play your dog really enjoys or if there's an area they prefer not to be petted.

A typical day

Dogs absolutely need physical and mental stimulation. I would provide walks where they have ample time to take in scents, but I would also engage with them in play and with attention. The specifics would vary on the dog.

Pet Care with Love

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Anna, and recently I've returned to Bellingham to pursue my Master's in Teaching degree! I have a long love of animals, and grew up with a family dog and now own a sweet cat named Valentine. I've taken care of cats, dogs, and a bird! My top priority as a sitter is the wellbeing of your pet, as it would be for mine. I pay very close attention to directions and will always ask if I am confused to assure I am taking care of your loved one the best way possible. I communicate frequently, am attentive to the animals while I stay, and I prioritize making sure your pet feels safe. I love learning about each animal's unique personality and showing them love on their terms.

Anna was very helpful with helping take care of Powder! She kept us updated with photos and took her on lots of walks and gave her lots of love.

I am SO THANKFUL for Anna!!! This was the first time I've ever used Rover or any dogsitters for that matter. Leaving the pups stresses me out. I had to go out of town for my ailing 91 yr old mom at the last minute. I contacted Anna the day before & she met with us that day. Anna made a stressful situation so much better for me. She was flexible, communicative, helpful, great with the pups & everything looked great upon return. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna. She will be asking her to watch the pups again with no worries.

Anna has great experience and a deep love for dogs and cats. The way she talks about them and interacts with them shows how much care she has for animals. While pet care experience does not necessarily translate to childcare experience, she has a ton of childcare experience as summer camp and youth support staff where her kind and attentive treatment of youth is reflected in her treatment of animals. I would highly recommend Anna! Her cat, Valentine, is the most loved guy on the planet and the two of them share a deep bond.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
