My dog crossed the bridge early this year, (Jan ‘26), so is just me when I do petsitting. At the moment, I’m not offering boarding.

Information Vanessa G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about your dog (s) likes, dislikes and any information that you may want to share. I want your dog to feel the most comfortable and have a great time while under my care :)

A typical day

I love to keep the dogs stimulated, mentally and/or physically. I have lots of toys for our pups. Also I live super close to a big park, where I can throw a ball or have a 'picnic' with the dogs.

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded and take care of dogs since I was a kid. Years and years of experience (bathing, feeding, special care, long hikes, puppies, senior care) My golden retriever crossed the bridge early this year, (January of 2026) I’ve raised him since he was 8 weeks old, he stayed with me over a decade. And, my roommates always have cats, so I’m very familiar with both! 😊 I’m the definition of ‘Pet Person’, I truly enjoyed what I do and I have an immense amount of love and respect for all animals, specially pets, I consider them family ❤️

Would not recommend, very uncommunicative. Did not feed my cat Saturday night when she was supposed to and then lied and said she did. My cat was left alone for over 26 hours with no food. Extremely unprofessional.

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.
