Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’ve been a professional dog groomer for over 15 years, with additional experience in boarding, training, shelter work, and veterinary care. My background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and comfort, allowing me to provide gentle, safe, and personalized care for each pet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vanessa was absolutely amazing with our puppy and kitten during their two-week stay! She truly went above and beyond in caring for them. She also did a great job with grooming, and our pets came home happy and well taken care of. Our puppy had a few accidents, but Vanessa handled everything patiently and professionally. She even took him to the vet while we were away, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. We would definitely book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!

Safety, trust & environment

I have crates of all sizes and have multistep entrances to prevent run aways. I have one pet at home that is well mannered with all sizes and species of animals. We go for many daily walks and play/ train in regular intervals. I have several separated areas in my home to give pets welcome breaks from socializing and have worked with rescue/ shelter and training pets to address behavioral issues. I have also worked as a vet tech and can safely administer oral, aspirated, topical, and injectable medications. I am also a diabetic and have more experience in specialized care.
