Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pup’s Favorite Walking Bud
I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa has been around my dog quite a bit over the years, and it’s always obvious how comfortable and happy my dog is around her. Some people are simply good with animals, and Vanessa is one of those people. She has a natural way of connecting with them and making them feel comfortable almost immediately. What I appreciate most is that Vanessa doesn’t treat spending time with a pet as just a responsibility to check off a list. She genuinely enjoys it. She gives them attention, plays with them, pays attention to their personality and needs, and makes sure they feel like they’re getting plenty of love while their owners are away. I would feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Vanessa. She is dependable, thoughtful, and the kind of person who notices the little things that matter when you’re caring for an animal. I’ve always loved having her around my dog, and I know she would bring that same level of care and attention to anyone else’s pet. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog with genuine affection rather than simply doing the basics, Vanessa is an easy recommendation.
I’ve had the opportunity to know Vanessa very closely for a long time, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most responsible, caring, and attentive people I know when it comes to animals. She treats pets like they are part of the family. She is incredibly patient, takes direction seriously, and will go above and beyond to make sure an animal feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Having pets in our own household, I’ve seen firsthand how much thought and attention she puts into their routines, personalities, and individual needs. We’ve also used pet sitters ourselves when traveling, so Vanessa understands just how important it is to have someone you completely trust looking after your pets. Being away is so much easier when you know your pets are happy, safe, and in good hands. I think that understanding is a big part of what will make Vanessa such a great sitter for others. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Vanessa to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in giving their pet the best possible experience. She is exactly the kind of person I would want caring for my own pets.
