Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a Veterinary Assistant currently working with a mobile veterinary surgeon, and I have several years of experience in general practice veterinary hospitals. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, chickens, and a variety of pocket pets. I’m especially experienced with animals who have special needs, including medication administration, behavioral or training support, and other individualized care requests. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

Vanessa was great with our four pups! They loved her and she took such good care of them. We will definitely use her again!

Vanessa was very prompt and polite and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our dog, gave us regular updates and pictures. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her in the future.

We recently moved to the area and this was our first time using Rover. Vanessa was great. She communicated with us regularly and sent daily updates of the dogs which was very reassuring. She left the house clean as well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would book with Vanessa again.

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.
