Pet care experience

Our pets are family!

I have two dogs, who are medium to large. My youngest dog is one year of age, and has been a bit reactive. However, through vagus nerve training, he has learned how to remain calm in situations which were once very triggering for him.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My own pets have free range of my home, but I am very careful about safety, as one of my dogs and one of my cats do not mesh well. I am vigilant about giving them each freedom, while keeping them separate and safe. I consider animals, as I do human beings. I love them and remain attentive to each of their needs.

Vanessa was amazing! She was very thorough, gave me detailed daily updates, and took plenty of pictures. I came home to two happy and healthy cats after my vacation. I highly recommend her!

Vanessa is an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of our pets while we were gone. They were all very happy and calm when we arrived home. Vanessa is super responsive, dependable and very nice to chat with. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend using her for your pet sitting needs and I will be booking with her again in the future!

Vanessa did a great job watching over my fur babies this week. The pictures that she sent helped me know that they were happy and safe, and that they were well cared for. Thank you Vanessa! I’ll be sure to call her again the next time that I’m out of town.

We legitimately could not have asked for a better person to do drop in visits for our dog. Our sweet girl absolutely fell in love with you! We really appreciated the thorough updates, detailed notes, and all the great photos from each visit. They gave us so much comfort while we were away. More than anything, we can’t thank you enough for the extra love, care, attention, and patience you gave her. It truly gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands while we were out of town. We would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet like family
