Vanessa is truly a blessing to our family. I was able to relax and travel without a single worry about our baby getting the same spoiled care he gets at home. She never complained about all his odd demand's. He was loved and safe from drop off to pick up. Thank you for giving my baby a vacation he loved.

Vanessa was wonderful with Willow. And Willow looked happy and relaxed in every photo Vanessa sent. I will definitely use her again.

This is our second time booking with Vanessa and we will never use anyone else. Our pups are so well taken care of and it’s so obvious how much they love her! Can never say enough good things about Vanessa!! The babies already can’t wait for their next visit!!

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.
