Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your care instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s normal routine, and pay attention to their individual behaviors and boundaries. I believe trust is earned, especially with more cautious pets, so I’m happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Vanessa is by the far the best pet sitter I have ever had. She is so kind, compassionate and loving to our dog and to us. She truly loves her job and her "clients". We are new to the area and needed a pet sitter. So glad we found her! -A.D.

As an amazing cat mom, she already has the experience required to care for your kitty cats. And the fact that she spoils her babies shows her dedication to their happiness. Vanessa's experience taking care of my poodle during our travels speaks volumes about her reliability and ability to handle different kinds of pets. The fact that my pup loves his "aunt Nessa" is a clear indication that she goes above and beyond to provide love and attention to the animals under her care. I would highly recommend her. And Cedar said the cuddles and car rides were top notch :)

Vanessa is the best pet sitter we’ve had! She’s very attentive, playful and treats our pets like her own! We’ve had no worries each time we’ve left our sweet pets in her care! Highly recommend!

Tell me everything! I’d love to know your pet’s normal routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, quirks, triggers, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Please also share any medical needs, allergies, behavioral concerns, leash reactivity, escape tendencies, or interactions they may struggle with. The more I know beforehand, the better I can make their time with me feel safe, familiar, and fun.
