Your pet’s new auntie! 🐈 🐶 🦎

Hello fellow pet lovers! I’m Vanessa — a devoted dog and cat caregiver ready to give your pet the care, attention, and respect they deserve while you’re away. I understand that pets are unique: some love playtime and cuddles, while others prefer quiet companionship. I pride myself on tuning into each animal’s individual personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in your absence.

This was our first time leaving our dog with a dogsitter. We were nervous about the whole thing, but upon meeting Vanessa for the first time, we were finally at ease. She reassured us and seemed very calm and confident in taking care of our dog. She had no problem with any instructions or requests we had. Our doggy didn't seem to be too much to handle for someone like Vanessa. We received constant updates/postcards/photos/videos, and our dog looked sooo happy with Vanessa. The photos she took were so cute. She got along well with Vanessa's dog as well. Vanessa clearly has experience taking care of dogs, and it showed with our experience. She shows a lot of care and compassion in her dogsitting. We will definitely be looking to have Vanessa look after our dog again in the future. And I am sure our dog would love to stay with Vanessa again as well!

Vanessa did such a fantastic job taking care of our dog! As a first-time Rover user, I was a little anxious, but she totally put my mind at ease. I loved getting the regular updates—they made me feel like my pup was in such great hands and really loved.

Vanessa provided exceptional care for our dog Bucky during our 10 day vacation. We received lots of photos and videos and she was so responsive to any messages or questions we had. We will absolutely reach out to her if we need any care for Bucky again!
