et care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a part-time job and only work three days a week, which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet sitting and dog walking. Since I have two dogs of my own, caring for pets is already part of my daily life—whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them love and attention. I’m used to being on a pet’s schedule and truly enjoy making time for them.

Safety, trust & environment

⸻ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m very careful with feeding instructions, medications, or any special care. Whether I’m walking, doing a drop-in, or staying overnight, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of tail wags

Information Vanessa F. would like to know about your pet

⸻ It’s important for me to know a pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. I always ask about their energy level, if they get along with other pets, and how they do on walks or around strangers. I also want to know about medical needs, allergies, food preferences, and any fears or triggers—like loud noises or certain environments. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re at home.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I keep them engaged with fun walks, playtime, cuddles, and interactive games like fetch or treat puzzles. I tailor activities to their personality and energy level, making sure they feel happy, loved, and entertained the entire time. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy indoor time, I’m all about creating a positive and fun experience for every pet I care for.

Pet care experience

⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I treat every dog like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I would want for my own pets. My experience helps me quickly build trust with both dogs and their owners

Vanessa was a wonderful sitter! We booked a last minute trip and she was very accommodating to all our requests. The dogs seemed to really have loved her, and we felt very comfortable having her in our home. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again.

Vanessa has taken care of two dogs for the last eight years. She is very loving around her dogs and treats them very special. Vanessa is a kind and outgoing person and takes very good care of animals.
