Frequently Asked Questions

We treat every pet like family. Our passionate, carefully selected team—background-checked, insured, and trained—provides reliable, loving care for pets of all personalities, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a senior pet with special needs, we ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

At Anna’s Animals, it’s more than a service—it’s a relationship built on trust, connection, and consistency.

We work as a team, so your sitter may vary based on your schedule and staff availability. Over time, a consistent pattern often forms with sitters covering certain days and times. Rest assured, every team member is dedicated to providing the same high level of care, and having a team ensures we always have reliable backup when needed.

If you want to meet a specific staff member, you can request a meet-and-greet with them for a $20 fee.

Dog walks are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., five days a week. 

Mid-day visits are scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m After-hours apply services scheduled outside of 9-5PM, and weekend walks are available for an additional $5.

You’ll get a post-visit report after every adventure! We’ll share all the highlights—walks, potties, playtime, and anything unusual we notice about your pet or home (safety first!). Updates go straight to your email or you’re sent a notification directly to your phone from our pet sitting portal if you have the app downloaded. You can reply to either—your messages go directly to the sitter taking care of your pup. It’s like getting a mini story about your furry friend’s day!

Our services run in 2-hour time blocks: 9–11 AM, 11–1 PM, 1–3 PM, and 3–5 PM. You can select your preferred block—late morning, early afternoon, or late afternoon—and we strive to consistently arrive during that window. While exact times may vary, we always do our best to accommodate your request.

We use lockboxes for access to homes. Lockboxes can be provided by you, the client, or by us for a one-time fee of $25. We also will use garage codes or pin-pad door codes to access your home.
