I treat each animal I care for as if they were my own. I love to take photos to update clients about our time together, whether it be on walks or just checking in :)

Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with other dogs? Do they have any aversions (for example: doesn't like strangers, males or loud voices, small children, etc)? As far as breed preferences: I love ALL breeds, so all are welcome!

A typical day

If your dog loves to play fetch for 30 minutes, wants their belly rubbed for an hour, or wants a nice walk around the neighborhood, I’m happy to do whatever they are happy with!

Professional, caring sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Vanessa and I am a professional pet sitter. I have loved animals all of my life. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a dog roaming around my childhood home. I currently have three family dogs. With my love for animals, I decided to care for them as a living! I began pet sitting for family and friends for fun. Eventually, I began to get referrals and pet sat part-time. I have now been pet sitting for over a decade and run my own business. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labs to Cocker Spaniels. Any time an animal is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own.

Vanessa was able to help us with a last minute request on a holiday weekend. We are very happy to have her as back up for the person we normally use.

Vanessa was very professional and our dog, Maple loved spending time with her. She was able to come in on shorter notice which was a really big help! I would definitely book again!

Vanessa came on time and taking care of my cat as much as she can. She is definitely a great pet sitter. However, I decided to get help from my neighbor who offered me their help during my trip to overseas.

Vanessa was great with our pup. She came as a recommendation when my usual sitter was booked, and it worked really well! Kind, communicative, and I could tell my pup loved her.
