“Our dog can appear quite menacing but isn’t in reality, and it was clear from the start that Maria is experienced and fully comfortable with handling dogs. Her daily updates were wonderful and we were delighted to have found her for our weekend getaway.”

“There aren’t enough kind words to describe the experience that I had with Jenn. What an amazing individual. She took excellent care of Harlow and was extremely flexible with my schedule. She let me drop off my dog the night before at no extra charge, and she sent pictures and updates every day to help ease my mind. She and her son took Harlow on walks each day, and she let her sleep with her in her bed (which is how my dog is most comfortable). She even sent her home with some little doggy treats. I highly recommend Jenn!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog, Max, with Camila! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about it, but Camila handled it perfectly! She took great care of Max, and gave us feedback on how he was doing during his stay. If you are in the area, we highly recommend that you try her out!”

“We used Jim to look after our two very energetic young dogs. Jim was very responsive to any requests for information. Our dogs were very well looked after and were spoilt by all the walks in his very nice and quiet neighborhood. He sent updated several times a day with photos and the dogs weee definitely enjoying all the attention from Jim. We will definitely use Jim again to look after them.”

“Candace was fantastic! Frankie loved it over there. He got along really well with her dog, Tyson. He was worn out when we came back from all the running around they did in the backyard. Her family is very kind and her kids loved Frankie too. Can’t recommend enough. Will be looking to book w/ Candace again next time we need an overnight sitter for Frankie.”

Kelechi N.

“My 1st time using Rover and couldn’t be any happier! Celina took such good care of my dog that he didn’t even need his anxiety medicine. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on what my dog was doing. I would 100% book her again! Your fur babies are safe in her hands!”

Kimberly T.

“This is the first time I used Rover for my cat. I was very nervous as I didn’t know what to expect. However, Heather was very accommodating. She allowed me to bring any items my pet was comfortable and familiar with. When I had missed an item and sent via Amazon, Heather was able to set it up and sent a pic. She sent me daily updates and pictures and reassured me that everything was alright. I would definitely be utilizing her services again.”

About: Hi! I’m Vanessa — a dedicated pet care professional with hands-on experience in both veterinary and grooming settings. My background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and comfort, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care for every pup. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home while in my care. Geoffrey is my trusted backup who steps in whenever extra help is needed. He assists with feedings, outdoor breaks, and keeping routines consistent. His calm, caring nature helps dogs feel comfortable and secure, ensuring every pup receives the same reliable, loving care. Johanna is our additional backup caregiver, stepping in when both Geoffrey and I are unavailable. She’s gentle, patient, and experienced with small pups and seniors. Johanna helps with feedings, potty breaks, and supervised play, always following our routines to ensure every pup receives the same consistent, loving care. Pet care fits into my routine through a structured day — set feeding times, regular outdoor breaks, and calm play sessions. I keep everything organized so pups stay comfortable and secure. I have a dedicated dog room that is climate-controlled and well-ventilated. I use my best judgment to decide if each pup is comfortable and ready to socialize. Dogs who do well with others enjoy supervised playtime, while those who prefer their own space relax in cozy rest areas with sofas, cushioned mats, and playpens. I’m also gradually adding more crates and gates to create designated gated areas for pups who feel most comfortable in their own private space. I do slow introductions unless a client requests otherwise. Our yard is fully fenced and split into two separate sections so I can separate dogs based on temperament and energy. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified, and I always focus on maintaining a calm, safe, and structured environment.

“Tracey did a wonderful job watching our two puppies. She was very accommodating too when traffic delayed us. We picked up two very happy puppies. We will definitely book with Tracey again.”

“Cookie really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! From start to finish, Sarah was incredibly communicative and made me feel at ease while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—they truly brightened my day. It’s clear Sarah genuinely cares for the furry family she watches. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
