Pet care experience

Vegan animal lover & caretaker!

I started dog walking and house-sitting around my neighborhood at 12 years old for fun. I’ve cared for and loved many pets throughout my life - including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, the list goes on. I’ve volunteered at farms and shelters over the years. I’m here to treat yours as my own. I hope to provide safe, reliable, and fun care for your furry family members :)

Safety, trust & environment

I’m not currently accepting animals into my home because I’m not sure how my cats will react. I’m happy to make house calls as many times as needed per a day while caring for your pet (within reasonable distance)

Vanessa was fast on responding. I had an unexpected trip and she was great help and very accommodating. Definitely using her again to take care of Noah.

Vanessa is the best dog sitter I've had. She's loving, attentive and detailed when it comes to looking after your dog. I truly felt as though I'd left my dog ziggy with a close friend or family member who is also really good with dogs. I highly recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa is incredibly passionate about all animals, big and small. Her nurturing and down to earth character emanates from her and my dogs could see that right away. They became to be best friends with her in a very short period of time. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch my dogs other than Vanessa!

The same way it’s important to know your pet is in good hands by knowing more about myself, it’s important for me to know more about your pet! Any additional information of his or her’s general habits, like, dislikes, etc. is helpful in providing better care.
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.
