Information vanessa h. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as I can about their needs and routine. Please let me know if your pet takes any medications, has allergies, pass surgeries, injuries, or any health conditions. I should be aware of. Period. I’d also appreciate knowing if there are any activities, they should avoid, such as Running, jumping, or brushing certain areas. The more I know ahead of time, the better, I can provide safe, personalized care, and make sure your past is happy, healthy, and comfortable.

A typical day

I love making sure every pet has fun, and feels love while they’re with me. We can go on walks, play Fetch in my fence yard, play with their favorite toys, relax on my deck, and the sunshine, or enjoy. Lots of cuddles and attention. For cats, I love interactive place, brushing, and giving them space when they need it. Every pet will be treated like family, and I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates, so you always know they’re happy, safe, and having a great time.

Your Dog's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I helped care for my brother's dog by taking him on walks, feeding him, bathing him, taking him to the park to play fetch, and making sure he was always happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'm patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family.

I have personally trusted Vanessa to take care of my dog while I was away on vacation for a month. During that time, she make sure he was fed, had freshwater, and received the attention and care he needed. She would walk in before work, and after work to make sure he stayed active and happy. Vanessa is responsible, dependable, and truly cares about animals. She treats pets with patients and kindness, and I would confidently, recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet caregiver.

I’ve seen Vanessa care for animals with patience, kindness, and responsibility for many years. She always make sure pets are well fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. She’s dependable, attentive to each pet’s needs, and truly treats every animal like family. I would confidently trust her to take care of my own pets and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

I’ve watched Vanessa care for animals her whole life, and I know how loving and responsible she is with every pet. She takes great care of her cat by making sure he always has fresh food and water, taking him on walks, and even bringing him to the grooming salon to keep him healthy and happy. I’ve also seen her care for my dog by feeding him, walking him, playing with him, and giving him lots of love and attention. I would trust Vanessa to care for any pet as if they were her own.
