Information Vanessa G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what their typical day looks like, how active are they? How much do they eat? Do they try to eat random things they shouldn’t? Are they on a special diet? Have they ever shown aggression to other people/other pets and why?

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks if they are good on their leash. I love taking my usuals to the park/on car rides just so they get to see something different. I also have a huge yard to play fetch whenever they want.

I love Vanesa! She takes such great care of our dogs and treats them like her own. She always sends updates and pictures, which makes being away so much easier. I never have to worry when we’re gone. She gives me total peace of mind. So grateful I found her!

I had an amazing experience with Vanessa! She watched my two dogs overnight and took such great care of them. She kept me updated with photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. I truly appreciate her kindness, communication, and the extra effort she put in. I’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Vanessa was simply amazing! Not only did she take phenomenal care of my little cat, she was extremely accommodating when it came to drop-off and pickup, truly going above and beyond! If you’re looking for a caring, responsible sitter, look no further! Thanks Vanessa!!

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.
