Pet care experience

Who let the dogs out?!?

I have been petsitting since my days when I was a dog bather and really enjoy the personalities of pets. They make me so happy! I am self employed and have been trying to get back into my routine after Quarantine. I love taking regular walks, so if I could take your furry family with me, even better! I live in an apt so I would only be able to care for pets within your home. Each household is different, and I adhere to each individuals set of rules for their pets - as we know routine is good!

Vanessa was incredible, and we will definitely book with her again! On top of taking incredible care of our dog, she also took great care of our house while there were freezing temperatures. Vanessa was proactive, prompt, and communicative. She sent pictures and videos throughout the week. We felt so comfortable having her care for our dog while we were away and will be recommending her to everyone we know.

Vanessa is terrific! She took great car of our dog, cat, and home while we were out of town. She was communicative every day, sending photos and updates, and we felt so at ease knowing she was with our pets while we were away. Our pets warmed up to her quickly and we will definitely be rebooking with Vanessa in the future. She's friendly, responsive, and dependable - highly recommend!

Vanessa was a dream! Our little zoo can sometimes be a handful and she was great with them! I will absolutely use her in the future.

Vanessa is amazing! I wholeheartedly trust my precious babies - two Maine Coons - with her. She's not just a catsitter, she's a godsend! I have to travel for work sometimes, and the only thing that makes it less stressful, for me and my cats, is leaving them in Vanessa's care. She is my go-to catsitter because I can rest assured they are in great hands. Even my anxious one is carefree with her. And I love Vanessa's funny/clever video and photo updates. She really captures their individual personalities, and that means so much that she recognizes that. Vanessa also is conscientious about getting all the info she needs to do her job well. Thank you, Vanessa!

It's important to know how socialized your dog is - around other dogs, children, cats, and people. If they are adventurous or more timid. If they have extra sensory stuff (like do they get too overwhelmed w/ lots of noise or people). It is also helpful to know if they have a particular routine, favorite snacks, special needs etc.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
