My cats love Vanessa and her communication with me, while watching them and house sitting allows me to 💯 relax when I’m away.

I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️

Vanessa was a perfect house sitter. She obviously really cares about animals and it shows. She followed our instructions perfectly and asked a lot of questions (which I always appreciate). When I was unclear about which medication to give Abbey, she made sure to clarify with me instead of making a bad assumption. Our house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely hire her again.
