Pet care experience
I am a full time Respiratory therapist who is looking to have a bit of a side job doing what I love the most. I take care of people for my job and would love to also take care of animals. I love all pets. I am also willing to take care of whatever other animals/reptiles/birds/etc. that you have in the home. Just mention it upfront and I can let you know how much extra it would be. I can offer pet boarding for dogs, only one household at a time, and max 2 dogs. I work 12 hour day shifts and my boyfriend works the night shift, so even if we are both working someone will be home except for maybe an hour in the morning and evening.
Cat care experience
Vanessa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Vanessa was the greatest, she was a very caring and loving dog sitter, this was the first time I had boarded my dog with her and I was extremely happy with her.
Vanessa (and Cam) were great sitters for Wyatt once again. He can't wait to come back and visit sometime soon.
Wyatt the Bluey had a great stay with Vanessa! She gave him lots of exercise and sent plenty of pics and videos with updates. Wyatt loved the huge yard! Vanessa was a pro and able to handle Wyatt in his more neurotic moments. We will definitely book with Vanessa again!
This was our first time using Rover and boarding our dog Ember. So we were a little nervous about leaving her with someone. She took great care of Ember! Sent updates, photos and videos which was very nice too!

I will respect the rules that you have set in place for your fur babies, I’m wonderful at interpreting behaviors and body language of animals, and I would love to go on walks or hikes with your pets! I do send updates almost every single day about your pet. The app isn’t super accurate since I often exchange messages and photos with clients via my personal cell while a booking is taking place. :) I used to volunteer at the animal shelter and walk dogs so they could get some outside time. I unfortunately did have to deal with some rowdy and poorly trained pups during that time but it taught me a lot about dog behaviors.
Information Vanessa V. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to do a meet and greet before a booking so I can ask questions and get to know everything I need too for it to go smoothly!
A typical day
I love to participate in playtime with pets. I will always be willing to snuggle the animals that want to, but will never force affection on them if they prefer a more distant approach.

Availability
I try to be as flexible as possible. However, I do work 12 hour shifts each time that I work. I work three 12s a week, and each week is different when it comes to what days I work. Send me a message and I will let you know what my more specific availability is. All of my rates can be flexible
