I TREAT YOUR DOGS LIKE MY OWN!

I am an energetic dog lover, who believes in making the best home possible for my dog and your's. My complex is surrounded by grass for playing and running. My apt. has hard wood floors and carpeting int he bedroom for cold nights. I've lived with animals all my life so nothing is new to me. I am quite an energetic person myself so your dog will have lots of fun. I am very attentive to eating habits and specific care you request for your animal. I am reachable by cell anytime of the night. I also send pictures and videos of the stay to make you feel more comfortable with your dogs stay. About this sitter: Very friendly person who loves animals! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover and overall animal lover all my life! I adopted my Merle (Border Collie) in Sept. of last year when I moved out here from NYC. It was the best decision I have ever made. My friends call me the animal whisperer. Meet my pets I have a 4 year old Border Collie who is medium sized and loves to play with new friends About my yard I have a fenced in balcony and my complex has a lot of terrain for running and playing. I have a pretty spacious 1 bedroom apt. My experience administering medication I am 100% comfortable

Vanessa is the absolute best. She is extremely responsive and keeps me updated with daily photos. My dog loves her and gets excited whenever he sees Vanessa. Look no further, I highly recommend Vanessa!!!

Vanessa was great! Not only did she accommodate me last minute but she also was very responsive and sent me so many pictures throughout the whole week she had my dog. My baby seemed to love being with her and you can really tell she cares for dogs! I would 100% book her again!

Vanessa has watched my pup several times for a week or so at a time and we trust that she always takes such good care of him! Daily photos and updates are the best.

Vanessa was great with our golden doodle. This was the first time our dog, Georgie was away from us and she did great, thanks to Vanessa. Vanessa was great about following up, taking pics and making sure we were updates on the things our dog did for the day. She was prompt about returning text messages and was super helpful by answering a lot of questions since it was our first time using Rover.
