Animal Lover and Caregiver

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. We currently live in a peaceful, pet friendly neighborhood (Less than 3 miles from Eisenhower Dog Run). Our yard is fenced and spacious. I will also take dog to Dog Park (if necessary or mentioned by owner). I am a true believer that Dogs are our best friend and give us twice as much love and kindness we give them. My Family (husband,daughter and dog) loves animals.My dog Storm is very social, playful and is well trained to interact with other dogs, kids and people. We adopted Storm at 2 months and cared for her since. She is the perfect sister, friend and playmate to our family. We look forward to walking, playing or sitting your fur baby/friend and inviting them to our home. See you soon

Excellent experience. My dog enjoyed his time, was in good spirits and ready for bed after all the play time.

Vanessa was wonderful with our little Franklin. Her husband and daughter were also very friendly and sweet. They took great care of our baby. I would absolutely use Vanessa again when we need a dog sitter.

The moment my dogs and I met Vanessa and her family, we felt assured that our pups would be in good hands. We were kept updated on their well being and would be using their services again in the future. Thank your so much for watching over our pups!

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.
