Availability
I'll be home all day the days I'm petsitting. If the dog parents are okay with it, I can take them to the dog park or for a beach or park walk. All things can be discussed beforehand. Whatever is most comfortable for dog and owner.

About Vanessa H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe and settled. I’m comfortable using crates when needed, and I also have a baby gate to help manage space and supervision. Dogs will get regular walks and fresh air, along with playtime and quiet downtime. I can feed on a set schedule or free-feed, depending on what your pet is used to, and I’m able to give medication as directed. My approach is calm, attentive, and structured, with safety and comfort always coming first.

Information Vanessa H. would like to know about your pet
Before babysitting, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet so I can provide the best care possible. It’s helpful for me to know their age, breed, health history, energy level, and any medical or behavioral needs. I also appreciate knowing how your pet does with other dogs, including whether they’re comfortable around my dog or prefer limited interaction. Understanding routines, triggers, and preferences helps me keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of fresh air, mental stimulation and movement balanced with naps and lots of rest. Activities are always adjusted to what each dog is comfortable with, with water breaks, quiet time, and downtime built in. My goal is for dogs to be happy, exercised, and relaxed not overstimulated by the end of the day.

Pet care experience
***For your peace of mind, I carry private pet sitting insurance in addition to the Rover Guarantee. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. About me: I have my bachelor's from Arizona State University and my masters from the University of Southern California. I work as an accounting supervisor here in Orange County. I started pet sitting recently because I love animals and enjoy spending my time with them. I'd love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all 😊

Reviews
Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!
Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.
So grateful! Vanessa was able to watch my pug, Bentley, when I needed her the most. A pipe broke upstairs right when I had to leave for work. She responded right away and was able to watch my baby while I dealt with my crazy busy day. She's responsive and kept me posted on Bentley's visit. Highly recommend her!
Vanessa is amazing as always! I never feel any worry about leaving Toki with her, and Toki always comes back so happy and satisfied!
