Safety, trust & environment

I care for the pets as if they are my own ! I provide them with a consistent feeding schedule and ensue the safety of your animals by making sure the home is secure and locked so there are no escape artists ! Of course, plenty of love.

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog gets along with other dogs, has separation anxiety, if you kennel your animals , and if they can be trusted off-leash :)

A typical day

Other than taking the pups on walks, depending on the size of your yard, I can throw the ball and play with them as well. If I’m on an overnight stay for an extended period, and the owner is okay with it, I will take your dog on a wonderful hike if you’re within close proximity of trails.

Animals Soothe My Soul!

Pet care experience

Animals bring so much joy to our human lives that is so indescribable, that only an animal lover would understand! Dogs and cats pick up on someone's character right away, and they know where a human's heart is. If you select me to watch your animal(s), I guarantee you won't be disappointed! No matter the breed, if you have a dog, I do ensure they get plenty of exercise, care and love. My first sitting job through Rover was booked in June of 2019, and it has been going ever since. It’s more important for me that you’re able to read the reviews of those I have sat for, to get a feel of their satisfaction. Sitting for animals is something I do take seriously. After all, you’re trusting me in your home, and with your most prized-possession (your fur-baby). Fun fact: I’m a former collegiate golfer... that has always loved animals. Love staying active!

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.
