Pet care experience

Fur, Scales & Wagging Tails.

I’ve cared for animals for 15+ years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. While I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, I’ve also cared for reptiles and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with pets that may need more specialized care and attention. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, feeding schedules, medications, and comfort levels so pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, senior, anxious, or needs special handling, I’m patient, dependable, and happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I’m also big on communication and know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay.

Vanessa and her partner were nothing short of amazing and gentle with my babies. We had them watch my 6 frenchies, all of which have very different personalities and required specified care for each. We received photos and video, along with a special gift when I got back. Thank you thank you thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

I always do my best to keep pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free by sticking closely to their normal routines. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s space and the owner’s home while making sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and behavior changes so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away. I’m experienced with pets that need extra patience or specialized care, including senior pets, anxious animals, and reptiles with specific feeding or habitat needs. Safety is very important to me, so I’m careful with doors, leashes, temperatures, interactions with other animals, and anything else that helps keep pets secure and comfortable.
