Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

If they have any specific circumstances that may make them uncomfortable (loud noises, cars, etc) it is important to specify with me please and tell me what could increase their stress! Any routines, dietary needs, past aggression, or known allergies please tell me in advance so I can do my best to avoid any issues and/ or potential injury to your pet. Thank you

A typical day

Depending on each pet’s age, ability, and activity level, it can really be a wide range/ variety of activities. From playing with some of their favorite toys, throwing around the frisbee or playing ball, or extra walk time and physical attention. I have no issues transporting dogs to dog parks upon request. This service has an additional gas coverage fee, so please plan ahead before requesting. Typically the neighborhood or surrounding areas are just fine and will work best for drop in visits!

Pet care experience

Animals have been in my life for as long as I can remember! I have a deep rooted appreciation for all animals, as well as reptiles. I have personally cared for and fostered many dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits & reptiles throughout my life. I have over ten years of experience administering medication to pets and assisting pets with disabilities. Just a few of those disabilities include Diabetes and blindness. I truly know how much these animals must mean to you, as they mean the world to me! I promise to do my utmost in looking after them with the care and respect they deserve.

Top tier pet sitter! Very attentive and will send lots of pictures. Great at keeping you aware of how your pets are doing and what they are up to. Very skilled at working with anxious dogs and dogs that require more patience. Highly recommend Vanessa

Vanessa consistently takes great care of our dogs. She puts a lot of care and effort into her work and that means when we go out of town, we aren't worried because we know they are in good hands. We've already got her booked for future trips.

Vanessa was a dream pet sitter. She loves our babies and took such great care of them! She has become a part of the family and we will definitely have her watch our pets again.

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.
