Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavior problems I can account for. Eg. If your pet has depression or gets lonely please let me know so I could offer your dog more attention.

A typical day

Generally, I will feed them twice a day as instructed by the dog parent, take them for walks around the neighborhood or local park, play, and keep them company

Pet care experience

I have experience working as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital for 1 year. During passed visits, I have take taken care of elderly dogs who need to be checked on frequently and take medications and injections as well as puppies and cats. I’ve been a previous dog owner and have also accompanied my sister who also pet sits on Rover for little over a year before I started my own account, and I am very familiar with how the process works.

Vanessa has been caring for our three pups for the past six months, and we couldn’t be happier. One of our dogs has a medical condition, and Vanessa is always patient and attentive—especially with our Malinois who has Addison’s. She truly understands how to handle her needs with care and confidence. We always come home to a clean house and happy, well cared for dogs. Vanessa is incredibly trustworthy, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Vanessa took wonderful care of our three dogs while house sitting—keeping them happy, well-exercised, and on their routine. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and very content pups. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

Great experience, Vanessa was responsive, punctual and provided updates and pics. She also seemed to have no problem with our dog who is a bit more challenging

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.
