Pet care experience

Animal Lover 🐾

5-star rated Rover sitter dedicated to providing safe, personalized, and loving care for every pet! Hi! I’m Vanessa, and caring for dogs is honestly one of my favorite things. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable from the very beginning. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With every stay, you can expect: ✨ Regular photo and video updates ✨ Plenty of walks and potty breaks ✨ Playtime, enrichment, and companionship ✨ Individualized care based on your dog’s routine ✨ Lots of patience, love, and attention Whenever possible, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the first booking so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the perfect fit. My goal isn’t just to care for your dog, it’s to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! ❤️

Clementina fell in love with Vanessa and her family. She is the most amazing sitter! 1000% will be booking another stay with her! Made my baby feel just like at home, kept in communication with me all the time with videos and photos so I could see how Clemi was doing. No words can describe how happy I am that Clemi stayed with Vanessa!

Vanessa was terrific. She took care of Lexi at a last minute notice. She sent pics and messages to let me know that things were going well. I will definitely call on her again.

At first I was very nervous to leave my Shadow with anybody but I knew I had get that fear out of me. I would definitely book with Vanessa again. Her and her family welcome my sweet puppy with open arms and treated him as if he was part of her family. She kept me updated with photos and videos of my dog. My kids were very pleased how good Vanessa took care of him. Thank You Again!
