Pet care experience

Pet Lovin' WFH Footwear Exec ❤️👟

Hello my fellow pet parents! I recently moved to Portland from NYC with my family. I grew up in Dallas, TX, with dogs all my life, and moved my husband’s 10year old, sweet Bulldog from Maui to NYC and now to PDX. I have 2 adorable and friendly kitties that love making new fur friends that come to hang for the day or sleep over. Buster, the bulldog, is also great with new friends and very sweet to cats. I would love being able to walk, sit, or board your pup and would enjoy hanging out with them. I was a Rover sitter for 6 years in NYC, so I’m excited to meet all the PDX fur babies. For all my cat parents, I am a proud cat mom and would love to meet your cat babies. I would take care of them as if they were my own, and I totally understand different behavioral issues so please let me know what I can do to make your kitty the most comfortable! My gallery of photos will show all the pups and kitties I’ve cared for from walks to drop-in to day care and boarded. You will also see my kitties, Loma and Roo, playing with the fur friends that come and visit or stay with us at our home. My kids LOVE a good playmate 🐶🐱 My work schedule is very flexible as I work from home, so I can walk dogs or check on your kitties when needed. With my work schedule being flexible, I figured applying for Rover would be great for all my fellow pet lovers. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Safety, trust & environment

For my home, I make sure it is puppy/ dog proof, as it is already cat proof with my 2 cat babies. If the pet has a crate, I will use it as owner requested. I always like to spend time at home more to watch my cats and their new furry friend adjusting to each other and hanging out with them. I will take your dogs on walk, like I would for my own dog back home or for my Rover pups! Mainly, directions that are provided will be followed to a tee.

Vannessa was amazing! She took great care of my two cats and was especially gentle and understanding of my more timid cat. She was also super communicative and responsible. Will definitely book again!

Vanessa was awesome! She’s super communicative and always sends lots of updates and pics. My cat can be very anxious about pet sitters in our apartment but Vanessa was really patient with her. She went out of her way to make sure my cat was comfortable with her there. I would definitely highly recommend!

Vannessa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I have no preference on breed. I do want to know their behavioral issues, if any, how they get along with cats, their behavior on walks, any thing they love or would comfort them, what scares them or they don't like, what I need to be aware of, etc. BOARDING: Please make sure they are all up-to-date on their vaccines and rabies shot and flea/tick medication. For cats, PLEASE make sure they are FIV negative and safe to be around other cats. Flea/tick medication is also up to date.
