Vanessa was a fantastic host for Mia! It was so clear and easy to communicate with Vanessa before and during the booking - she was so prompt and clear in replies. Plus, Vanessa sent some very cute photos of Mia as a nice bonus :-) Would absolutely love to have Mia stay with Vanessa again!

My dog Lucy enjoyed staying with Vanessa. I’ve received detailed updates and cute pictures during Lucy’s stay with her. I will definitely consider rebooking at the next trip to Whistler.

Vanessa is amazing! She regularly updated us on how our dog was doing, and sent beautiful pictures of their adventures together. She gave our dog her full attention while in her care. I don’t think our dog wanted to come home! A very loving caregiver and I can confidently recommend her. Will definitely be booking her again.

I highly recommend this lovely lady. She is professional, kind, and punctual. I knew Vanessa was a good fit because my dog loved her instantly. We are so happy to have found Vanessa!

Vanessa was fantastic with Nova! Terrific communication both in the lead-up and while she was looking after her, lots of pics, and generally took great care of our girl :)

Safety, trust & environment

My home is warm, safe, secure and pet friendly - NO other animals or people would be in my home while your dog is in my care. And, I will be with them the entire time!! There is no yard - but the trails are 5 minutes away!

A typical day

When out for walks, dogs in my care are kept on their leash at all times. I will also not feed your dog anything other than the food that you provide. (I can supply dog treats if approved by you!)

Vanessa can host up to 1 pet per night
It is helpful to know how your dog typically spends their day! Meal times/exercise levels/nap times/potty breaks etc. Please bring whatever will make your dog the most comfortable such as their bedding (if staying overnight), their treats and toys etc..
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.
