Pet care experience

Animal care close to O'hare 24/7

*15 minutes from O'hare airport. **FENCED YARD Animals are fur babies. I have had pets my entire life: Dogs, cats, rabbits, & hamsters. I’m a married empty nester who’s real kids have flown the coup. My hubby works all day and I am a full time homemaker looking to fill my days with fun stuff to do and what better way then to spend some quality time with animals. Who doesn’t want to spend their day playing with animals? I am happy to accommodate your pet’s schedule, medications and routine. I’m also glad to share our days via video or pics with animal’s owners. I’ll try to help you ease your worry about being away from your baby, even if you need some facetime. FYI, I only give filtered water to pets and whatever food & treats you provide during your pets stay. Comfort for your fur baby is my priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to walk dogs at least 3 times a day or take them to the dog park at least once a day and 2 walks. It largely depends on the dog and what they prefer.

Our flight was cancelled and Vanessa saved the day by staying an extra night! She is fabulous with our fur-baby

Thank you Vanessa for looking after our senior dog and our house while we were on vacation. We were concerned about leaving Grace, who has mobility, vision, hearing, and senility impairments, at a kennel. You were the perfect companion for her while we were gone.

Vanessa is very patient with Ozzie who can be a little nervous. She is so great and caring.

Our dog was so excited to see Vanessa after only meeting once before! So nice to have someone who truly cares about your pet. I look forward to getting the report card and seeing how happy our Lila is!

Schedule

My weekly routine consists of walking dogs who are regular clients. I love to walk and take dogs to the dog park to get all that energy out.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Vanessa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
The dog has to be tolerant of cats if staying at my house. The cats have their own room so they’re not forced to mingle. Is he/she trained to go outside? Do they get along with other dogs/animals?
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.
