Let me know if your dog needs any special care, their diet including feeding times and restrictions, I would like to know about their behavior to understand their habits, their routine, if they have any training, and what their favorite toys and activities are.

A typical day

I can play with any of their favorite toys, I can take them to the park, I can give treats, and I love to pet them.

Pet care experience

I’m originally from Mexico and have been living in California for a couple of years now. I was a veterinarian and have been working full-time as a pet sitter for a little over a year. I love working with all types of animals, and have 2 dogs of my own. Even though they are 8 years old, they are still very active; so I’m used to high energy dogs. I feel comfortable taking care of any pet, regardless of breed or size, puppies or seniors, geckos or chickens.

Vanessa takes amazing care of our two cats. She is great at communicating to us and we love leaving them in her care because we don’t have to worry when we’re gone. We will definitely have Vanessa watch them again.

Vanessa is a 5 star house and dog sitter. While we were enjoying our weeklong holiday we received multiple texts and photos. It was comforting to know our dog was happy and loved. Thank you so much Vanessa.

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.
