NW Bradenton, AMI, LBK Since 2013

Pet care experience

FULL-TIME ROVER SITTER SERVING NORTH/WEST BRADENTON, ANNA MARIA ISLAND, and LONGBOAT KEY SINCE 2013. 🚭 Longtime NW Bradenton homeowner has more than 30 years with multi-dog families, entertaining puppies, and caring for aging and disabled pets. After the Army, I moved from Southern New England with my husband and our three (now adult) children to NW Bradenton. In 2013, I began boarding to remain available to my family. As the children trickled out of the nest, I included house sitting services, which now has 70+ regular Manatee County clients today. This allows me to serve our community on a personal level, with a focus on special breeds, and special needs.💕

Vanessa is great with our two little boys! And always makes sure they get a little walk with the drop in. We trust her completely!

Vanessa was a life saver, made extra effort to fit Annie into her busy schedule on short notice. (Even though our location was outside her usual service area). She arrived promptly, immediately developed rapport with Annie, provided the 2 drop in visits, and provided pics and summary of her visits. Thank you so much Vanessa! Highly recommend Vanessa.

Information Vanessa T. would like to know about your pet

AVAILABILITY changes quickly and reservations are honored on a first-come, first-confirmed basis. Those made via Rover are accepted and given priority over phone, text, and email requests. WHICH SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? ✔️ HOUSE SITTING (overnight) with your dog in his or her own home maintains absolute comfort while you’re away. Feeding, care & companion options are also available for your cat, bird, farm, exotic, cage, or aquarium pets at home. Sleep schedule, eating habits, medication, exercise & interaction is without disruption. The sitter's meals and personal care items are not the homeowner's responsibility. Laundry, dishes, mail, trash, lights, pool, plants, and routine household maintenance & upkeep are tended to during the reservation. Constant activity keeps the home safe from predators while daily attendance keeps pipes and appliances in check. Sitter check-in and checkout take place between 9am and 6pm, $70/$35 per night up to 5 miles. ✋ Due to ongoing drop-in commitments, daycare and boarding services are not available at this time. DAYCARE is available 9am to 6pm at your home, or 7am to 6pm at mine. Your pup will enjoy activities, routine meals and treats, and many potty breaks throughout. Should you be away beyond 6pm, please consider the HOUSE SITTING service above as DAYCARE is suited for newly adopted or anxious pups, long work days, and family outings. Available 7am to 6pm, $50/$25 per day up to 5 miles. ✔️ DROP-INS are often the choice for more independent pups. We'll discuss your pet's needs and customize these visits to complement your current routine. Should you be out beyond 6pm, please consider the HOUSE SITTING option above so your pet will receive adequate care, attention, and interaction, and s/he can enjoy your vacation as much as you will. Drop-ins between 9am and 6pm, $24/$24up to 5 miles. Your reservation is subject to $5 per trip/night if a visit is requested during tourism season or local festivities such as fireworks or a parade that requires a detour or extended drive time. AMI & LBK $10 Dec to Mar. EXCLUSIVITY is undoubtedly an option, just ask! This makes it possible for your pet to receive, without interruption, the stimulation, affection, and personalized attention s/he thrives on. All pets are offered their own diet as this keeps belly upset away. It is preferred that your dogs, cats, and home are protected against fleas & ticks prior to service. I remain consistent with your pet’s house rules in regard to furniture, manners, sleeping arrangements, etc., so there is no confusion upon your return. TRANSPORTATION can be provided for parents on a tight schedule. Ask about pet rides to/from local vet or groomer appointments, Sarasota (SRQ), St Pete (PIE), Tampa (TPA), and Orlando (MCO) International Airports along with area hotels and theme parks for your convenience. MEET & GREET Different from kennels, you'll have the opportunity to meet who will be providing care during their stay. Meet & Greets are welcomed and encouraged, and rates are not in stone, so please reach out with any questions or to arrange a visit. If there is a special requirement, concern, or request, just bring it to my attention as I strive to be flexible and I’m happy to work with you in meeting your pet's needs. WELCOME to the Rover community!!
