Pet care experience

I prefer pets over people : )

I have had cats and dogs around me my entire life. I am the go-to person when friends and family members leave town. I watch over their beloved pets. I have a huge heart when it comes to animals even when they do not belong to me. I wish I could own them all.

Vanessa is fantastic. My nervous kitties come running out to greet her as soon as she comes over. When I get home they are like “Oh Mom, were you gone? We didn’t notice with Vanessa here looking after us.” ❤️

Schedule

I usually work M-F and get out around 3. When I am not home, I have my son who is home all the time and able to feed, play, and clean up after pets until I get home. Am usually off on weekends.
