Vanessa is the best. She is thoughtful and caring and my dogs absolutely love her. She is also a great communicator and very thorough with her care of my two senior dogs. I absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Vanessa has been such a God send for me, helping with my senior and special needs dogs while I’m at work. She is prompt, caring, and communicative. I cannot recommend her enough!

She went above and beyond the minimum for Bruce and I trust her with him more than myself.

Vanessa is absolutely wonderful with my two senior dachshunds. One of my dogs is special needs (IVDD), and she’s so sweet to her and takes great care of her during her visits. My other dog has health concerns, and she immediately let me know when something was off so I could take her to the vet. I’m so grateful for Vanessa and her expert care of my dogs during her visits because I know they come with a longer list of needs than most. She is a great communicator and gives wonderful visit summaries. I highly recommend her!

Vanessa has been an absolute blessing to our home! She works with our busy schedules, has been a great communicator, and with three dogs with varying personalities, has handled all of our fur babies with ease and they also love her! We couldn’t recommend her enough!

I want to know anything and everything you think would make the most of my time with your baby! Examples of great info would be any medical or behavioral issues, energy level and exercise needs, allergies or other dietary restrictions, favorite treats, toys, and activities, their "spot,” etc. **If your dog is fearful of strangers, please let me know so we can arrange a meet and greet before the service. I love working with fearful dogs and want to make sure we set everyone up for success!**
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.
