Professional pet care provider

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Vanessa! I started out as a dog walker and trainer over 25 years ago in both Boston, MA and Portland, OR. That led me to go into medical pet care as a veterinarian technician for over 4 years while I obtained my degree in biology. In my 30's, I became a New York massage therapist and acupuncturist while I continued to do pet sitting for family and friends. Since moving to Delray Beach, Florida, I've been spending my time volunteering at Peggy Adams Rescue League caring for the kittens in the Feline Care Department. As a Rover provider for you, I can take on any age cat or dog, administer medications and injections, provide puppy and kitten tips and light training, give rigorous walks for those energetic dogs, follow detailed instructions, and communicate clearly and often about your pet.

Vanessa is the best pet sitter that I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable about caring for animals and has gone above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my pets when I am away, including caring for a terminally ill cat in need of medication.

Information Vanessa G. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs or behavioral challenges, please let me know and we will all work together to create a safe and healthy environment for your pet. As a former veterinarian technician, I will go over medical history, current medications, diet and dietary restrictions, as well as your pet's typical routine.

A typical day

I am an active person and love to take rigorous walks around neighborhoods. I live right next to the Lake Ida dog park and also have a dog sticker for Bark Park Dog Beach located at the Spanish River Beach if you happen to live near either. Or if your pooch loves backyard fetches, I'm game:)
