Pet care experience

Veterinary technician experience!

Since a young age I've been caring for animals of all sizes. Whether it was finding a small homeless kitten and nursing it back to health at 7 years old, to starting my own dog walking service at 8, to currently working in an animal hospital caring for patients. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family has always known this was the field for me and I wouldn't change a thing. Even the most difficult animals deserve love, attention, and comfort. Big or small, I love them all. :) My current schedule varies between hours and days. Feel free with any questions or concerns you may have! Thank you so much for your time! i hope to hear from you shortly!

Vanessa was amazing!! She kept us updated our entire trip and left the house so clean! Even washed our sheets! We definitely will use her again. Couldn’t recommend her enough. She went above and beyond! Thanks Vanessa!

Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.

She was great with my dog who gets very anxious when left at home. My dog was well taken care of when I got home plus the house was left clean. Also she sent a photo per day usually to keep us updated.

Vanessa was amazing while watching my dog Cloud!! I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was open to options to allow Cloud to have the best time with her while I was away on vacation. I also loved that she is a vet tech so I know she has the knowledge and training to do what's best if anything were to happen. I would definitely recommend letting her sit your pup, because she treats them like her own!

I have no breed preferences, but all huskies are welcome haha I love all breeds. Every dog has their own personality and I look forward to getting to know your dog. :) I just ask if there are any medications or concerns you may have with your fur babies.
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.
