Safety, trust & environment

For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.

Information Ven R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behavioral issues or medical issues beforehand. I've dealt with all kinds of pets with both behavioral and medical issues before, so I am able to work with them!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks and play games like fetch and tug of war with their toys. I also love teaching them tricks in reward for treats, it's one of my favorite things to do.

Animal lover and pack leader

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own.

Ven did a great job! We came from our 10 day trip to happy dogs and a house cleaner then we left it! She also took great care of our son’s leopard gecko.

Ven was fantastic! She had so much patience for our stubborn fur babies and was excellent about communicating. We will definitely have her back for our next trip!

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.
