Availability

I work remotely and have considerable flexibility in my schedule. I will strive to prioritize your scheduling needs, and I ask that we discuss this in advance. During house sitting I aim to spend most of my time within your home, and will communicate in advance my needs to steps away. I can often take your pets with me, if that’s suitable for you. I usually do not step away for longer than 5 hours during overnight stays. I’d be happy to discuss your exact scheduling needs in more detail when we meet.

Safety, trust & environment

I would love to meet you and your beloved companions, and see if we are a good fit. If all systems are go, I’d like to collaborate with you to delineate a detailed and clear plan to meet your discussed expectations. I bring a calming presence to most animals, wild and domesticated. We will ensure that your pets get their daily needed activity, play, nurturance and rest. I’m keenly aware of my surroundings at all times, to ensure your companions’ safety. While in your home, I will respect your space as I do my own, and will aim to leave it better than I found it. I do ask that the space I am going to inhabit for the length of the stay, has clean linens, high speed internet and the home is well-maintained. I can be available as a person of contact for other maintenance services, for the duration of the stay, with advance notice and mutual agreement. I benefit greatly from concise notes on your pets’ needs and home expectations during overnight stays, for drop in visits or walks.

Information Maria N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any particular needs, and how to best ensure their comfort and wellbeing. A physical note with the details for their care is extremely helpful to me, as a supplement to the information on your profile.

A typical day

Depending on your comfort, I’d like to take your pups on walks in nature filled spaces, friendly neighborhoods, and enjoy their home environment together as well. Your pets’ safety and wellbeing are my priorities.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Anca, lover of all beings. While I am new to Rover, I am no stranger to pet sitting and care taking. Let’s meet! I have been fortunate to be surrounded by animals most of my life, and have an affinity for caretaking. I will attune to your loved companions’ needs with ease. I have experience with administering medications, including IVs, and preparing special diets. I am mindful of their movement, play and rest needs. While in my care, your pets will be doted on.

Has easily become my go-to sitter for my kitty cat Suki, has always been extremely thoughtful and caring. Suki tends to be overly anxious and shy, but warmed up.

Booked for some house sitting for my cat Suki, who tends to be very anxious and shy. My apartment was honestly left in better condition than I had originally left it (lol), updates were frequent and with very high responsiveness, which was very appreciated. I would & will probably book again and really appreciate all the help while I went on my mini-vacation! Suki was well taken care of and was exactly as comfortable/loved as could be

Hello! My name is Angie, I am a friend of Anca's. I have known Anca for over a decade and we have been good friends that whole time! Anca is a very responsible, respectful and caring human:) I have trusted her with my daughter and my 3 fur babies. I have a 17 year old human, a 10 year old black lab Lucky boy and two cats Violet and Stella. Anca connects easily with the animals and they really love her. Especially Lucky dog. Anca understands how to care for animals and what they need. She is quite intuitive! I would give her a 10 out of 10 score on respect and care for all living things!

Hello my friend! To whomever is reading this review, you have found the right person who will love and treat your pets as if they were her own! I have first hand knowledge of her kindness and care by seeing how she treats her happy and healthy cats, Grapes and Oliver and other dogs that she pet sits! She is a smart, kind, and detailed oriented human. These skills are of a great value especially with the multiple needs of some pets when it comes to things like medication, feeding and walking schedules. Her communication skills are amazing! I cannot recommend someone more. Your furry family members will be safe, happy and healthy with Anca.
