I fit pet care into my daily routine by making time before and after work to care for pets. I’m used to early mornings, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’ve helped care for my aunt’s dog, Jagger, for years, so taking care of animals is already a normal part of my routine.

About Vanessa S.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel relaxed and loved. I grew up around cats and also have hands-on experience caring for dogs, so I understand how important patience, trust, and a calm environment are.

Cat care experience

I’ve grown up around cats my whole life, and my grandma taught me how to properly care for them from a young age. I had a childhood cat named Minnie, so I understand the patience, attention, and love cats need. I’ve also helped potty train a kitten and have experience feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

Vanessa is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She truly loves animals and treats every pet like her own. She’s attentive, patient, and makes sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. I would absolutely trust her with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver on Rover.
