I have 1 dog and 2 cats who rule the house with a fenced in yard. I am able to follow directions provided by the client to ensure their pet is safe and well taken care of.

Information Vanessa O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behaviors, quirks, and the training level you pet is at. I love to meet them at their level of development. Any favorite toys or motivations are a bonus to know.

A typical day

I'm always glad to hear what owners do with their pets, or if they had time would like to do, this will give me an idea of what the pet is comfortable with. I can then branch out from there in possibly introducing new things for stimulation and fun.

Compassionately loving beloved pets

Pet care experience

Not a day has passed in my life that I have not had a pet, whether that be a dog, cat, betta fish, hamster, and guinea pigs. Walking, playing, feeding accordingly, providing fresh water, and maintaining the cleanliness of their areas (including poop duty) are the main (but not limited to) daily responsibilities I provide to my pets and can extend to yours. Petting and cuddles are an extra bonus. My pets' health and happy life brings me purpose and joy. I enjoy getting to know their separate personalities and am in tune to any shifts in behavioral changes. Specifically, all of my cats have lived long lives (19+), so I am familiar with everything from kitten to senior cat care, which includes providing medicine. I am always eager to learn, research, and adjust myself for a pet that needs specific care and meeting them where they are at in their development/life stage. My patient, loving, and calm demeanor is usually acknowledged and reflected back by animals. I have never met a pet that has not liked me and vice versa.  My schedule, at the moment, is semi flexible. I would love to build a rapport with owners and their furry companions to provide them with the care they need and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. If I am not in your area by a little bit, please reach out and I may be able to accommodate traveling further. Furthermore, I've limited my visits per day, but please reach out even if my calendar says full because I may be able to make adjustments to accommodate more.

We went on vacation and Vanessa did drop in visits while we were gone, and she was fantastic. She was great with communication, sent us updates and pictures daily, and our cat Winnie absolutely loved her. Definitely recommend her if you need anyone to stop by while you are away!

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.
