Pets

Flexible schedule for doggie care

Pet care experience

I work from home and have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pup. I recently lost my own dog and would love to spoil yours until I am ready to get another dog of my own. I have lots of experience with in-home dog sitting and have cared for giant and small dogs, as well as puppies learning to train and older dogs with special needs(medication, exercise, vet visits, etc). My priority is to make sure your pup is happy, healthy and safe. I am active and go walking every day, so I have my favorite spots to take your dog, according to their needs. I can also work on doggie manners if that's something you are looking for.

Vanessa is great. We will definitely rebook with her on our next vacation. She is very responsive to all our questions and concerns. She took our dog on daily walks and sent plenty of pictures during our 5-day vacation.

Our normal kennel was full for Thanksgiving so we gave Rover and Vanessa a try. She took such great care of our pit mix Noodle! She gave great updates and photos the entire time which eased my mind. We were super nervous about using a pet sitter for the first time but Vanessa reassured us. She took Noodle on a walk everyday and did well with Noodle even with my dogs quirks! She can adjust to your needs for a truly custom sit! Thanks so much Vanessa and for booking on such short notice!

Vanessa is a happy, caring and responsible sitter. I have seen firsthand how she cares for dogs large and small and is flexible meeting owners needs. She is loving and reciprocates energy well with animals. I would recommend her anytime and trust her with my own dog under any circumstances.

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.
