Happy Pets Happy Life

Pet care experience

I love pets of all breeds and sizes. I’m the proud pet mom of multiple rescues. Comfortable with lap dogs and crate training - if your dog/cat must sleep on my bed, that’s OK! Willing and able to accommodate so that your pet is comfortable and happy so that you can enjoy your time away. I’m happy to care for chickens and farm animals as well. I follow instructions and will do my best to keep your sweetheart in their regular routine. They may not even miss you! I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child and in recent years we’ve committed to rescuing senior animals. I stay calm cool and collected with medical issues. Just let me know what you need and I am happy to try to accommodate!

Vanessa is great! She stayed with our dogs for a few days and also recently did a quick drop in to check on them. She always sends photos and gives an update during her visits. The boys are very energetic and can be a handful, but they took to her right away. We would definitely hire her again!

Vanessa was fantastic with Hendrix! She made going away for the day so easy and made sure that everything was taken care of - I would definitely use Vanessa again

Vanessa is the kindest and most patient with all animals and humans. She has a bunch of her own pets that I’ve seen her give years of love to after rescuing them each from various situations. No wonder her son is just as compassionate, if not more (and they’re both vegan!) I trust Vanessa with my pets and happily use her services.

Vanessa has been our dog walker and house sitter for many years. She is responsible and reliable. Vanessa is liked by our dogs and she is sensitive to their needs and moods. The dogs seem calm and the house is always just as we left it. She is trustworthy. I highly recommend Vanessa as a pet or home caretaker
