Pet care experience

Experienced veterinary assistant!

As an undergraduate student, I have had the pleasure of working and caring for dogs in a veterinary setting. I have worked with doctors in Houston and San Antonio to make the care of our furry loved ones a priority. I am most certainly an animal lover and have interned at the San Antonio Zoo as well as working in 2 different veterinary clinics. I currently have a 17-year-old German shepherd mixed with chow who has received all of my love and care since I was 4 years old. My best friend pup has the best quality care and is living her best life with frequent trips to the beach. I strongly believe that I am well-trusted with your pup when house sitting or brought to my house for daycare. They are treated like they are at home and receive full attention while present. I will greatly appreciate any special instructions left for me to follow to make sure your pup gets the best quality care. For dog walking services, I don’t mind putting dogs in my car and taking them to their favorite park. I love bringing treats for my clients’ pets and offer to do any extra assignments.

Vanessa did a great job walking our two German shepherds this week! Great communication and they seemed nice and calm in the evenings

I will start by saying that this was our first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better. Not only did Vanessa make us feel comfortable with leaving our fur baby with her, she son our dogs love and trust. Truly above and beyond caretaker, she even bought Ranger birthday balloons and gifts for his belated birthday. He was actually sad when she left...10\10 recommendation!

I'm glad that I found Vanessa. I needed a person to take my puppy for daily walks, so Vanessa did this job perfectly. She had been on time each time and send detailed reports after each walk. I would recommend Vanessa for your pets' needs.

Vanessa is the best dog sitter I have contracted! She is very passionate about taking care of animals her heart is big and loves to give warmth and attention. She is willing to go that extra mile for your animal as she did for mine! She was very attentive to the instructions given to her and did not disappoint. My pets also seem to enjoy here presence and vibe. Definitely would recommend Vanessa, she will make you and your pet happy.
