Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their schedules, personality traits, special needs if any. Want to make sure not to disrupt their routines as being in a new place can be overwhelming enough.

A typical day

I like going on long walks to grab my coffee in the morning or to the park at night. For high energy dogs, can take them on a nearby hike or a 3 mile loop around town

Pet care experience

I have been fostering all throughout quarantine (for 5 dogs adopted to their forever homes) but now am here to give that love and attention to your dogs! I had a pug and German shepherd growing up and treat pups like they were my own!

Vanessa is amazing! She was our dog Emmie’s original foster owner before we adopted her, and we were lucky that she was available and open to boarding Emmie during our vacation over two years later. Vanessa is patient, intuitive, and trustworthy. She really takes the time and effort to understand each dog’s behavior and needs, and does everything she can to make them feel comfortable and safe. Thank you!!

Vanessa was amazing! Casper is my world, and Vanessa took such good care of him. She sent a photo of him laying in bed with her, which indicated to me that he trusts her. She was attentive, checked in, and communicative. I would recommend Vanessa any day, and wish she lived closer or I lived closer! Highly recommend! Thank you, Vanessa! Casper says hi!!!!

Vanessa was such a lifesaver! The other sitter canceled on me last minute and she was able to accommodate Harley on such a short notice. She was so good and attentive with Harley, sending me pictures and updates of how he was doing. I can tell he definitely enjoyed his stay and will . Thank you Vanessa for taking such great care of Harley!

Vanessa was good at being flexible with changes but she was not very good at communicating with me throughout day on anything for my dog. She was not worth the $100 i spent just to receive no updates and no contact for a couple hours making me extremely worried. Friend had picked up my dog early and sitter made it seem as if he was still in her possession. I did not have a good feeling with her overall and will sadly not use her again.

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.
