Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am a dog mom at heart (my sweet seniors have crossed to rainbow bridge) so I'll be adopting again when I'm ready, until then I have two rescue bunnies and I have fostered seven dogs through rescues. I have cared for both dogs and cats while their families are out of town. My goal is to keep their routines as close to normal as possible while providing the love and attention they miss while you're away. I personally know how tough it is to leave your pets behind for vacation or a work trip so I am happy to send pictures and/or video of your babies having a good time with me for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!

We could not have asked for a better introduction to Rover.com. Vanessa was great with our dogs. She sent pictures to let us know how they were doing. Vanessa is a 10/10.

Vanessa took great care of my dog Ranger. He can be nervous around new people, but he quickly calmed down with her. She was responsive when booking and when texted during the day. I would book again with her and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet. She’s a pro at this.

Vanessa was wonderful with our pups and made us feel at ease leaving them (even though we rarely do). We loved the daily pictures and recaps. Would definitely book with Vanessa again!
