Safety, trust & environment

I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time

Information VANESSA S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviors that are a possible hurdles. I would also like to be warned if a dog pulls on the leash.

A typical day

Normally I do 15-20 minute walks, if a dog is more athletic I tend to walk or jog a mile with them. If they are high drive then enrichment toys are a big help.

Pet care experience

I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges.

Vanessa is an amazing pet sitter who truly loves dogs. She was caring, reliable, and treated our dog like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such loving hands and would highly recommend her.

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.
