Pet care experience

Dogs rule and I will always oblige.

I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

Vanessa treats my puppy as if it were her own. She is an excellent communicator and our puppy loves her!

Vanessa did a great job with Brooks today. It was obvious that she has had years of experience with dogs. I will definitely book again with her in the future.

I will tend to any special needs you dog may have and will seek out vet care should it be needed. A dog’s wellness is my first priority along with giving them attention and love.
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.
