Pet care experience
I got into this business in 2021 when many people were receiving their Covid vaccines and wanted to travel. I've had many satisfied clients since then and can say from personal experience that I have enjoyed doing it.
Reviews
My crew can be a handful and Anna was up to the task and she did great! It was an extended pet sit(7days!) For a reliable, dependable sitter, I would highly recommend Anna.
Anna was quick to respond and kind enough to accept 2 last minute drop in visits for us and our dogs while we were away. She was trustworthy and respected our home and pets. She followed our directions and completed the job that was asked of her (feeding, letting them out). She would benefit from gaining experience training dogs so that she is more comfortable talking to them/using their commands, and experience with dogs of different breeds, temperaments, and personalities (i.e. not comfortable with how to approach a fearful but not aggressive dog/dogs with histories of abuse).
Anna was super thorough and patient in the meet and greet with our dog, who can sometimes be overly energetic and anxious. She is detail oriented and super responsible, and updated us throughout the stay and Beanie seemed calm and content when we returned. Thanks, Anna!
Anna did a great job with my cat and dog! My dog is blind and she was extra caring towards her. Anna checked in with me often, and mentioned to me when she saw anything weird/concerning about my dog! Luckily it wasn’t anything (just a normal of my dog’s quirks) but i was really glad she reached out to be safe!

Safety, trust & environment
I follow instructions from the owners to a tee, especially regarding feeding and bathroom breaks. I also always play with pets and make sure that they get plenty of exercise and love/attention. Notes: - If I am pet sitting for you, the house must be non-smoking. I am an asthmatic trumpet player in need of a clean air environment. - I ask that we have a meet and greet before each sitting so that the pets can get to know me better, I know their routine, and anything of importance. In extreme cases (like another sitter canceling at the last minute), I may waive this requirement. - As a rule, I ask that every client provide me with the number of their vet in case of any emergency. You can upload it to Rover, but I prefer if it is written down on a note and stuck somewhere where I can see it (fridge, table, etc.) - Please tell me if your pet has any emotional or trust issues as this will help me adjust care (It won't help either me or your furry friend if this information is not given up front).
Information Anna S. would like to know about your pet

A typical day
I like to take dogs on long walks, especially if they are big and energetic. I also will play any games that pets might enjoy like fetch, tug of war, etc.

I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music and am looking at music jobs in the area. My schedule can be fairly flexible, especially during the summer time as most schools are out.
