Information vanessa s. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pets personality so I can approach accordingly for their comfort! I have a shy cat so I get having to work around it!

A typical day

I love to play with high energy animals by learning what they enjoy, whether that be running around, fetch, or more interactive or mental stimulation!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed.

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.
