Safety, trust & environment

I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect as I want for my own home and pets. I follow detailed instructions, maintain routines, prioritize safety, provide updates, maintain cleanliness, and create a calm and comfortable environment while you’re away.

Information Vanessa F. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about your pet before your booking begins. Please share their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, personality, favorite activities, fears or triggers, behavioral quirks, and any house rules you’d like me to follow. I also appreciate knowing about your veterinarian, emergency contacts, and anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized, stress-free care, and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s age, personality, energy level, and preferences. That may include walks, fetch, tug, puzzle toys, scent games, play sessions, or simply relaxing together with plenty of affection. For cats, I enjoy interactive wand toys, treat puzzles, allowing them to climb and explore places they’re allowed to, and quiet cuddle time if they enjoy it. My goal is to keep pets mentally stimulated, physically active, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re most comfortable with.

My healthcare background brings an extra level of reliability, attention to detail, safety, and calm presence. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special or unique needs. I am not only CPR and first aid certified for humans, but I have my certification for pets as well. 😊 My experience and comfort level extends beyond just cats and dogs as well. Whether you have a high energy puppy or a senior pet needing patient care, l’ll provide the highest level of love and compassionate care like I do for my own.

Vanessa is an outstanding choice as your pet sitter. Her love for animals knows no bounds. As a nurse, she relentlessly advocates for the patients, this fervor extends to animals as well. She has experience caring for snakes, small rodents, and cats and dogs. She is committed to providing a safe and happy environment for your pet!

The dedication that Vanessa puts into not only her animals, but those of others is astounding! No matter the species of animal, Vanessa goes above and beyond to ensure all animals in her care are cared for appropriately and in a manner that leaves their owners feeling at ease knowing their babies are in good hands!
