Pet care experience

Providing excellent care for all.

I have cared for all ages from bottle-fed puppies to sweet senior dogs, keeping up with medications and wound care. I also have a senior cat, and have worked at an elite training horse farm as barn manager for 5 years, where I was responsible for separate training, feeding, and medical care for up to 20 horses.

Vanessa is an absolutely incredible dog walker. She’s very loving and caring towards my girl and she communicates so well! She always has such detailed reports and sweet pictures and lets me know if anything seems off! I fully trust her with my dog! I’m so glad we found her!

I always schedule a meet & greet for new clients to make sure this is a good fit for everyone. Please let me know about any behavioral issues at home and on walks (if applicable), so we can avoid triggering any problems. If your pet has medical requirements, I would prefer detailed instructions to ensure they receive the proper medication type and dosage at the correct time.
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.
