Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. I value maintaining each pet's normal routine because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and well-being. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays, I prioritize being dependable, punctual, and attentive so every pet receives the individualized care they deserve.

About Vanessa D.

Safety, trust & environment
believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about each pet's schedule, personality, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions. During each visit or overnight stay, I provide personalized care based on your pet's individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, affection, litter box cleaning, administering medications if needed, and ensuring your home is left clean and secure. Communication is a top priority for me. You'll receive regular updates with photos and detailed messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible by providing dependable, loving care and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible.
Information Vanessa D. would like to know about your pet
Before every booking, I'd like to know as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, medications, allergies, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. I also like to know how they interact with other people and animals, what comforts them when they're anxious, and any commands or training cues they respond to. The more I know about your pet's personality and routine, the better I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet has a different personality, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and preferences. For active pets, that may include walks, fetch, tug-of-war, outdoor play, or interactive games that provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For more relaxed or senior pets, I enjoy spending quality time with them through gentle walks, cuddles, brushing, or simply keeping them company. I also love using enrichment activities, favorite toys, and positive reinforcement to keep pets happy and engaged. My goal is to make each visit fun while ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved.

Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Vanessa! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that truly brings me joy. As a proud dog mom to my sweet girl, Xena, I understand that our pets are family and deserve the same love, patience, and attention we would want for our own. Whether I'm caring for an energetic puppy, a senior pet, or a shy cat, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet's routine exactly as instructed. From feeding schedules and medications to exercise, enrichment, and cuddle time, I provide personalized care based on your pet's individual needs. What You Can Expect Every pet is unique, which is why I like to begin with a Meet & Greet. This gives us the opportunity to discuss your pet's personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide the best possible care. While you're away, you'll receive regular updates with photos and detailed messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. As a fellow pet parent, I know how comforting those updates can be. My goal is simple: to provide loving, dependable care that gives you complete peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
Reviews
Wow. We have never used a pet sitter with any of our dogs before, but we had a trip planned and recently rescued a puppy, so we had to leave him for a week. We were so nervous about leaving him with someone, especially being so young. The moment we (and our pup) met Vanessa we felt at ease. Throughout the entire process she was professional, so kind, thoughtful, and loved our puppy as her own. She sent us pictures and videos several times a day, which really put us at ease. When we returned, our puppy was so happy and you could very clearly see how well he was taken care of. We truly cannot say enough positive things about Vanessa and the love and care she provided our puppy. Would HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be planning trips around her availability in the future! Thank you so much, Vanessa!
Vanessa did a great job watching Maxwell in my home for a few days. She was communicative, paid attention to detail, followed all of my instructions, and had no issues giving him his medication. Most importantly, Maxwell was comfortable with her. I’d definitely book with her again.
Awesome 🤩
We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa this past weekend! She was incredibly responsive, kind, and caring throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated daily with messages, photos and videos which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved her and were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter and will definitely use her again in the future!
