Safety, trust & environment

I have a safe and loving approach to all animals. I am committed to making sure they are comfortable when away from their humans. I usually pet sit in the owners' home. I will make sure that your pet(s) have multiple potty breaks, plenty of play time and snuggles, and usually 1 - 2 exercise/engagement walks per day.

Information Annalise R. would like to know about your pet

Learning about your pet's personality and any individual needs is essential to making sure they have the best time! During the meet and greet, I would like to gather information like your pet’s age, breed, typical schedule, whether they have any triggers or anxieties, and if you have any special requests, tips, or tricks. If there are specific commands that you use or need reinforcement training on, please let me know and I can spend time working on those during my time with your pet. I aim to tailor my services to every client, and there's no such thing as giving me too much information about your pet!

A typical day

This will depend on you and your pets needs. Most pets prefer consistency and routine, especially when their parents are away. I love to provide play time for physical and mental stimulation for your pet and long walks to enjoy the new smells and excitement of a park or path. For walks and drop-ins, I bring treats, care supplies, and toys. I will send a check-in update with a picture after every visit. When house sitting, I can provide full house sitting needs including bringing in the mail and packages, plant care, trash and recycling schedules, and rotating lights/blinds for a lived-in look if not staying at the property full time. Additionally, I have a large, pet-friendly vehicle if any transportation is required. I'm happy to assist with any away from home needs you may have, so feel free to reach out!

Caring, Responsible, & Experienced

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been pet sitting for private clients for 10+ years. I have owned multiple Siberian Huskies and cared for animals my entire life. With my family, I have trained many dogs for dog sledding, confirmation showing, and basic obedience. I have extensive experience with larger breeds but I've also cared for small friends. I'm comfortable with dogs (and other animals) of all shapes, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m organized, detail oriented, and attentive. I'm happy to accommodate my time with your pet in any way I can. I can't wait to meet your furry pal! Every pet has their own personality and unique needs. I request that we complete a meet and greet before booking. Please keep this in mind when scheduling. Meet and greets are always free!

It is a relief when we know that Annalise can watch our cat when we are away. She’s very conscientious – she knows a lot about pets – in fact, she made a suggestion about my cat’s diet, which has really made an improvement – she does it in a nice humble way. Highly recommend.

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.
