Dog walker/sitter and care taker

Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’ve always been an animal lover and have worked in vet hospitals for a couple of years, including emergency care. I’m also a student studying to become a veterinarian. I’ve had pets of my own and know how much they mean to family, so I’ll treat yours with the same love, care, and attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your pets feel happy and safe! 🐾

Vanessa’s care to my pup was exceptional. She reassured me that my pup was doing well during his stay in her home through pictures. I’d receive updates through out the day which made me relax! Definitely will be booking Vanessa for any future care!!

I felt super comfortable leaving my cat with Vanessa. She was very sweet, trustworthy, and made sure to give me updates throughout the day. My cat seemed to have enjoyed his stay! I would highly recommend her. Very professional and will make your pet feel at home.

Moose had a great time with Vanessa. She was flexible with my pick up time, sent lots of very cute pictures and videos and kept me in the loop of what was happening with my puppy. When I picked Moose up, he was tired from playing all day. I would definitely recommend Vanessa to watch your pup.

Vanessa was a wonderful dog sitter. I was a little concerned about how my dog would behave. She gave a few suggestions on how to make him feel comfortable away from home. She communicated well with me and even sent photos and a video. Made me feel comfortable and my dog looked happy. If I ever need Rover again I will try to get Vanessa again she did an amazing job.

Vanessa Rodriguez has been taking care of my puppies while I travel for about 5 years now and there is no one I would trust more than her. Before leaving on a trip she makes sure to always ask for all the “must do’s” and makes me feel so at ease. My dogs absolutely adore her and when I come back home, they don’t want her to leave. Her love, compassion and patience for animals is something I’ve yet to experience with anyone else. It would but a grand asset for this company to have Vanessa on board.
