As a pet-owner who is way too attached to her cat, I can say Vanessa is one of very few people I trust when it comes to taking care of Bandit. Vanessa is caring and compassionate and treats all animals like they are her own. She is trustworthy, dependable, and I know that when I go out of town, I have nothing to worry about at home. Despite Bandit's hesitance with others, Vanessa quickly became one of Bandit's (very few) accepted members of her inner circle. Vanessa just has a knack with animals that can't be described and she also regularly provides adorable photo updates, which is the icing on the cake. I strongly recommend Vanessa for any pet-sitting needs. She is a wonderful pet-sitter, and an even better person!
