Cat care experience

From energetic kittens to mellow seniors, I understand feline body language and know how to create a calm, safe space for them. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications if needed I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friend. I’d love the opportunity to help make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I will start back school on August 18th and will only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-3 pm. Your first visit with me will include a free meet and greet so we can get to know each other and to feel comfortable with me watching your babies!

We loved Vanessa. She was super sweet with our three active kitties. She was even excited to take our adventure Kittie on a walk for us. We got pictures every time she checked in.

Vanessa was an angel to my sweet Maggie! In fact, after we got home from vacation, my girl was looking for Vanessa! Highly recommend Vanessa to house/dog sit! Not to mention, she’s super flexible and patient! 🩷

Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know your pets routine, dietary preferences, exercise needs, and any health concerns before watching them. Understanding their temperament (whether they’re social or more independent) helps me plan the right activities and ensure they feel comfortable. I also like to know about any special preferences, such as favorite toys, walking routes, or particular commands. This information helps me provide the best care and creates a stress free environment for both the pet and owner.

A typical day

When watching pets on Rover, a typical day starts with a morning walk or playtime, followed by meal times, and then some cuddle or relaxation time. Each pet has unique needs, so it's important for me to understand their personalities and routines ahead of time—whether they prefer active play, gentle walks, or simply curling up for quiet moments. Throughout the day, I tailor activities to their preferences, ensuring they’re happy and comfortable
