I’ll love your pets as my own!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m new to the Houston area and am looking for opportunities to work with pets. I’ve had dogs my entire life and about 3 years ago adopted two cats of my own. The youngest dog I’ve helped to raise was about 5 months old and the youngest cat was about 3 months. I’ve also helped with an elderly cat who needed daily medication and my parents have a dog that required eye drops because her eye doesn’t produce tears anymore. I love all animals and am excited for the opportunity to interact with yours! Please consider me next time you need some help :)

Vanessa was great with Loki! She checked on him and made sure he was okay. Really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her for pet care!

Vanessa was great with my pet pig Rosa and pup Slinky! I will be taking a longer trip soon and Vanessa took the time to make sure she had a grasp on Rosa and her routine ahead of time, since Rosa is the stubborn one. Absolutely recommend her ❤️

Vanessa was great!! From the first meet and greet we knew we wanted her, the dogs took to her immediately, and she was very comfortable with them too, even though they have no manners. She was very communicative while we were away and sent pictures and updates. We will definitely request her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Our cats are on a vet prescribed diet. Our male cat has a risk of blockage due to crystals forming, so his food helps to balance his pH levels. Our female cat eats a full wet food diet as well to encourage proper body weight and overall health. Our male cat has needed oral medication in the past in both liquid and pill format so I have experience doing both. Out female cat has had eye drops in the past and I can also administer those. Although I highlight cats, I have extensive experience caring for dogs as well, including pill and liquid oral administration.

Information Vanessa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything specific you’d like done while you’re away! That could include encouraging me to give treats or even clean a litter box. If you have a yard, please specify whether or not your dog is allowed off leash.

A typical day

There is a cute little dog park in my complex and lots of resident dogs to play with. I also love to walk the center of the boulevard and play catch! Unfortunately, my cats don’t like fetch much, but we love to play with the feather wand and laser. If your fur baby has a favorite toy, let me know!

I work from home so I spend all day with my cats! My favorite thing to do is lounge in the couch doing work with my babies. We also love to sit on the porch together and sun bathe.
