A dog and cat mom ready to help!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also used to volunteer at a dog groomers in high school, and currently care for a 3 year old corgi and 5 year old cat.
Reviews
Vana is absolutely great with our furbabies. They are a little older and that means more high maintenance. She is patient and kind taking her time as they walk a little slower these days. She sent me pictures daily and communicated as needed as we were away for a week. Thank you Vana we appreciate you!
I highly recommend Vana as pet caretaker! Vana offered to come meet my dog several days before petsetting in my home and was warm/friendly. She arrived on time, responded to my texts promptly, provided updates about my dog while I was away, and worked with him on his training. I feel fortunate knowing I have a reliable pet sitter/walker/boarder in the future that dog my trusts.
As a fellow Rover sitter and dog lover, I can not think of a better person than Vana to care for my pet. Vana loves her own animals well. She will take her pup, Ace, on super fun adventures and make sure he is living his best life and thriving. Additionally, she is always conscious of Ace's needs, making sure that her plans allow her to be close enough to reset the bladder-o'clock or if she's unable to be close, she makes sure Ace can go to doggy day care. In addition to her diligent care, Vana is well versed in in pet fun facts. She recently taught me the differences in Pembrooke Welsh and Cardigan Welsh corgis. She will be sure to bring her care and knowledge to her practice to ensure your pup is safe, comfortable and spoiled while you're away.
Vana is very responsible and loves animals. She has a cat and dog currently and takes great care of them. She makes sure they are feed and kept on schedule, while also showing them the proper care. She shows animals love that they deserve, and would extend that love to other animals.
About Vana S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I used to house sit for family friends - and do my best not to overstep and to be respectful of the space. I also make it a priority to give dogs attention and play time, and can work on any training you want to re-enforce.
Information Vana S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what you are comfortable with for your dog so that I can provide the best experience. Do you prefer your pup to stay in their home/local area? Do they need a lot of exercise or are they lower maintenance? Are they comfortable with people? Other dogs? Are there any injuries to watch out for?
A typical day
Depending on the owner’s comfortability I can walk dogs around their home neighborhood, on the greenway, or in Stone Oak Park. I can also take them to doggie bakeries, dog parks, and play fetch, tug of war, and training games.

Availability
I am currently an online graduate student working as a part time substitute teacher, so my hours are flexible and I am open for the summer. I have zoom classes Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but am able to assist around them.
