Pet care experience
Welcome to my profile! I do have a full time job, but I can work remotely most of the day, most of the time. If you have a reliable internet connection, I rarely need to leave your property for more than a few hours a few times a week. If you are looking for a mature, confident, capable sitter who wants build a relationship with your family and truly enjoys caring for animals - I am 100% your huckleberry!
Cat care experience
Anna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Anna was so gracious and helpful when our travel plans changed last minute. She made us feel so comfortable to be away knowing that our dogs were in great hands! Thanks Anna!
We can’t say enough good things about Anna and how pleased we are with her pet caretaking and house sitting services. She literally can think into the mind of our dog for what she needs and when she needs it. She left our house in better shape for us than we left it for her. Thank you Anna for everything!
Anna did great with our dogs! She sent such good updates, pictures and videos. A severe storm hit while she was staying and she also provided a thorough walkthrough of our property to ensure nothing was damaged. We think our dogs loved spending time with her! Well definitely see if she’s available to sit again in the future!
Anna was above and beyond our expectations. She seemed to instantly bond with our admittedly spoiled terrier. We got photos and updates throughout our trip. When traveling great distances and being away it was so comforting to know that both our dog and Anna were happy, healthy, and enjoying each other.

All first time clients receive a free meet and greet. This session usually takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. It’s an opportunity to get to know me and discuss our goals as a team for your home and animal care experience. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I require this be completed prior to finalizing your first booking. Meet and greets typically available on Weeknights between 4PM and 6PM. I believe in the golden rule - I treat your property and family like I would desire my property and family to be treated - with loving kindness and respect. All visits/stays can include, if you desire, the following at no additional charge: Feeding/water change/wellness check on up to 3 small caged pets (rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, hedgehogs, chinchillas, snakes etc). Putting out/bringing in trash / recycle bins Indoor plant watering (per your instructions) Taking in/signing for mail and packages (up to 25lbs) In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I am Insured and Bonded through PCI, underwritten by Lloyds of London. Proof of Insurance available upon request. My insurance does not cover activities not directly related to animal care. For that reason, I am unable to provide exterior maintenance like lawn care and snow removal. If I am parked out doors in the winter time, I will shovel as much as is necessary for me to be able to get into my car and leave the property safely, but if you need more than that completed while you are away, please be prepared to make arrangements with another service provider.
Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet
I am eager to learn about your pet's likes, dislikes, sensitivities, allergies, and triggers. What, if anything, makes them insecure and defensive? Where do they hide when they are sick or sad? What brings them comfort?
A typical day
My full time employment is about 75% remote, meaning I can work from anywhere I have an internet connection. 3 days per week (usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) I do have to be on site for 2-4 hours per day. On these days I normally leave my clients homes between 6 and 7am and return no later than 10am. Outside of those away working hours, I alter my schedule to be at your home and available for bathroom cares, play time, feeding, medication administration, and lots of love and cuddles. I do often leave for an hour or two in the evening to run quick errands, but I minimize that, especially on days when I leave the property for work. I also "pack in and pack out" - meaning I bring all my own food, beverages, towels, and personal care products. I do use my clients spices and pantry items from time to time, but I often bring some of my own as well. I remove my own garbage and recycling prior to departure, as well as tidy up the house. All you really should ever need to clean up after my being there is washing of any linens you own that I may have used.

Availability
My client base includes families from off Rover and other sources, and I tend to book out at least 3-4 months in advance with rare cancelations.
