Information Vania C. would like to know about your pet

There’s not such thing as over communicating, let Me know how and what I can do to make your furry family member more comfortable and happy. I’m happy To slow down, follow a routine, bring toys and provide what is necessary.

A typical day

I love to encourage pets to be curious and use their senses, I show her new things to sniff on and tell her the names in Spanish and English, she gets a treat for each word she know.

Furry love has no competition!

Pet care experience

I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies.

Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!

Vania is awesome! I had a last-minute request and had never used Rover before, so was feeling pretty anxious about leaving on a trip for a few days. Vania’s professionalism and personality put me and my 9yo pit-mix at ease straight away. She took such excellent care of him that I noticed he had changed his bark from “There’s Someone At The Door” to “OMG YAY” when she came back to drop off the key ☺️

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.
