Highlights
Pet care experience
Life is better with dogs!
In my 50+ years I have never not had at least one dog. From Doberman to Cocker Spaniel, I’ve had large and toy breeds. Currently I have a 6 year old female GSD, a 1 year old female Pit Bull mix, and a 10 year old female Maltese. I’ve dealt with newborn puppies, heat cycles, senior issues like reactive dogs, incontinence, resource guarding, anxiety, knee replacements, mobility issues, etc. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies post surgical procedures like knee replacement and neuter/spay, as well as potty training puppies. I also have extensive experience in administering medications. As a dog mom I know how difficult it can be to find reliable and trustworthy caretakers for our four legged babies when we can’t be there with them. I know it can also be stressful trusting someone in your home. I figured this would be a good use of my new free time with my sons away at college. Who doesn’t want to play with dogs all day?!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a detail oriented, overly organized person who would treat your home like my own and follow any guidelines set by you in caring for your pet. I do use Zuks peanut butter and oats training treats with dogs, so please let me know if yours has any allergies or GI issues. Some of you might be new to Rover and since every sitter/walker is different, below is a simplified explanation of how I work the different options available. I’m always happy to answer any questions and work with you to tailor visits to meet your expectations and needs. House sitting- I do 15-30 minute drop ins and/or walks no longer than every 3-4 hours, and like to be in the house for the evening by 6pm latest. Occasionally, I might have evening “walks”, but it isn’t common. Most dogs are early risers and after eating breakfast we do a morning walk (typically 30 minutes) before I leave your home returning again every 3-4 hours for short walks throughout the day. In the Rover app you will receive pictures of your pet, if you so choose. Drop ins- 30 or 60 minutes in length and entail whatever you and/or your pet desires. This includes a walk, play, or just snuggles. These are priced the same as walks and usually more for cats. The Rover app will alert you when I arrive and begin the service. At the end, you will receive a “card” in the app that will include service start and end time along with pictures of your pet and any “notes”. Walks- These are 30 or 60 minutes in length, your choice. I walk your dog and/or if you have a neighborhood park and you allow it I will take them there to play leash. I always carry a ball with me in the event we are allowed to go to your dog park. The Rover app will alert you when the walk starts and it tracks the walk and where we go. At the end you will receive a “card” with distance walked and time, sometimes “notes”, plus pictures of your pet!
Ratings and reviews
Anna is amazing!! Booked her last minute and has been such a help
You are amazing! Dogs are always left in good hands with Anna and they enjoy their time with her. Makes traveling so much easier!
Anna has definitely been our favorite Rover experience so far. She is so kind and thorough and thoughtful - we got lots of pics and updates and we could tell she is very experienced with dogs. We appreciated her communication and how well she cared for our puppy. Couldn’t recommend more!
Never used this app before and I was weary of its results, but all worries were gone after my experience with Anna! She kept in contact with us, let us in on how the walks went, all on such short notice! 10/10 will be using again!
What an amazing first experience using Rover! Anna was very interactive with photos and messages. I truly felt like my pets were receiving great care and we will certainly be requesting Anna's care in the near future!
Anna was amazing! She was able to accommodate my request with short notice, and I trust her in my home and with my pup, Boston! He seemed to immediately warm up to her, which says a lot! We’ll definitely ask Anna to drop in again!
