Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate Animal Lover
Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies and rescue dogs to farm animals and small pets. My own rescue dog, Indigo, taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive care as I supported her through both IVDD and cancer. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with medication routines, mobility support, changing needs, and providing calm, loving care through every stage of an animal’s life. I’ve also raised puppies and lived on a farm where I regularly cared for large farm dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for many different animals, including parrots, snakes, hamsters, fish, rabbits, and other small pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owners are away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anna was wonderful and very accomodating looking after my cat while I was visiting family out of the country. Her calm, friendly, and intuitive personality made my cat feel right at home. I can definitely count on her and will be reaching out to her again in the future.
We had the pleasure of meeting Annastasia during our first time using Rover. She was so easy to communicate with and very reliable to take our dog for a walk. Annastasia was fantastic and we would highly recommend her to anyone.
Bernie had an amazing couple nights with Anna. She took the absolute best care of him and he's already looking forward to his next stay!
Anna has been my #1 go to since I first met her! I have a small, high energy dog who often has challenges interacting with strangers. Anna is truly an animal whisperer! She has cared for and loved my Cooper, like her own fur baby. She genuinely treats animals as though they were her own, with tender care and love. Cooper is often more excited to see Anna than she is to see me! She walks, runs, cuddles, plays and loves all furry critters. Also, I trust Anna implicitly in coming into our home and taking Cooper out when we need her to. She is an angel for me and my family.
Annastasia is incredible with animals. She has cared for my dog Rufus many times, and taken him on walks during my busy periods. She always care for him as if he is her own, which puts me at ease every time I am away. She is very attentive at taking care of his special needs, including his dietary restrictions, skin issues, and medications. Annastasia is an excellent choice for any type of pet sitting.
I would highly recommend Annastasia to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and knowledgeable pet caregiver. She loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She has extensive experience with dogs who have complex medical needs and is attentive to each dog's individual care requirements, whether that involves medication, special routines, or extra monitoring. She is also particularly experienced with dachshunds and understands the unique quirks, personalities, and health considerations that come with the breed. Her dedication, reliability, and compassion for animals make her an excellent choice to care for any dog, and I would confidently recommend her to any pet owner looking for someone they can trust with their beloved companion.

Schedule
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m also a very active person and usually spend hours outside walking every day, so I’d genuinely love some furry companionship along the way - whether your dog prefers long adventures, slower sniff walks, or lots of playtime and attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a detached home with a fully fenced backyard and no other animals in the home, creating a calm and safe environment for your pet. I take animal care very seriously and have always treated every pet - whether my own or someone else’s - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I cared for my sweet dog Indigo through both IVDD and cancer, which gave me firsthand experience supporting animals with medical needs, mobility limitations, medication routines, and changing comfort levels. That experience taught me that every animal is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual routines, personalities, and care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
I’m a very active person and love having a furry companion by my side. Depending on your dog’s personality, a typical day might include long walks, trail adventures, hikes, beach outings, backyard play sessions, enrichment activities, puzzle games, or even a run for high-energy pups who enjoy keeping pace. Because I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also understand that not every dog wants constant activity — some would rather sunbathe in the backyard, sniff their way through a leisurely walk, or curl up on the couch for cuddles and a nap. My goal is always to match your dog’s energy level, routine, and preferences so they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
