About: Hi! I’m Vanessa — a dedicated pet care professional with hands-on experience in both veterinary and grooming settings. My background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and comfort, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care for every pup. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home while in my care. Geoffrey is my trusted backup who steps in whenever extra help is needed. He assists with feedings, outdoor breaks, and keeping routines consistent. His calm, caring nature helps dogs feel comfortable and secure, ensuring every pup receives the same reliable, loving care. Johanna is our additional backup caregiver, stepping in when both Geoffrey and I are unavailable. She’s gentle, patient, and experienced with small pups and seniors. Johanna helps with feedings, potty breaks, and supervised play, always following our routines to ensure every pup receives the same consistent, loving care. Pet care fits into my routine through a structured day — set feeding times, regular outdoor breaks, and calm play sessions. I keep everything organized so pups stay comfortable and secure. I have a dedicated dog room that is climate-controlled and well-ventilated. I use my best judgment to decide if each pup is comfortable and ready to socialize. Dogs who do well with others enjoy supervised playtime, while those who prefer their own space relax in cozy rest areas with sofas, cushioned mats, and playpens. I’m also gradually adding more crates and gates to create designated gated areas for pups who feel most comfortable in their own private space. I do slow introductions unless a client requests otherwise. Our yard is fully fenced and split into two separate sections so I can separate dogs based on temperament and energy. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified, and I always focus on maintaining a calm, safe, and structured environment.

“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”

“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for dogs and hands-on experience in caring for them. Growing up, I always had a dog in my home, and my love for them is truly unconditional. Since childhood, I’ve been responsible for walking, feeding, and looking after my dogs, giving me years of firsthand experience. I’ve cared for four dogs in the past and currently have one, each with their own personality and needs. This experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to handle different temperaments.

I enjoy spending time playing, going on walks. My flexible schedule allows me to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to stay happy and active. I have a spacious backyard where your dog can play and enjoy fresh air. I strictly follow meal time instructions to ensure they stay on their routine and feel at home. Keeping your dog happy and engaged is my priority—I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and affection, so they never feel bored or lonely.I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to your pet’s needs.

“Outstanding Doggy Day Care of Leila and Ranger. Alaina and her family adored my two dogs. She and her family treated Leila and Ranger as if they were there own dogs. It was obvious each day was filled with activity including walking and playing. Leila and Ranger were returned to me each day exhausted, and very happy to have received great doggy care. I appreciated the photos of my dogs each day showing them having fun. I also appreciated Alaina's understanding when I was a little late meeting her for return of dogs. Alaina is the best Dog sitter we've ever experienced and look forward to contacting Rover.com to get Alaina as our next Pet Sitter. Sincerely, Vic and Leah Riveras”
