Availability
I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win.

Safety, trust & environment
I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

Information Vanessa K. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable administering medication. Just let me know during our meet and greet process before the stay is booked with thorough instructions. Same with any special needs your pet may have. I will do my best to accommodate their stay and ensure they have a blast! I will need to know the following about your pet during our meet & greet: *Pets preferred body language I should be attentive to *How they relate to other pets *Any signs of aggression/territorial tendencies *Feeding & walking routine *Medication/separation anxiety/socialization *Crate training *Behaviours & cues *Any additional information to help us bond
A typical day
I am lucky to have a trail just a walk away from my farm I like to take pets exploring. I also have a vehicle and do bring pets to a local dog park for exploration and play. That is, only if your pet has a good recall and is friendly with other pets i.e, socialized.

Pet care experience
Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊
Reviews
Vanessa stayed in my home and took care of my dog Ellie. Vanessa was professional, courteous and reliable in every interaction from the initial booking to checking in as she left. My dog who can be reactive with new people was instantly comfortable with her and was happy and calm when I returned home. My house was spotless. Vanessa is a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter and overall just a lovely person. I highly recommend her and will rebook with her.
What's can I say?! Another fantastic stay with my critters! Thank you, Vanessa! Toby and Fiona can't wait for you to stay with them again. 😁
I would give 10 stars if I could!! Vanessa was amazing with my fur babies!. She did in home care for us while we traveled for 9 days. A lovely, kind and responsible young lady took exceptional care of our dogs and home. We received many pictures and updated to keep us informed. I will recommend Vanessa to anyone that is looking for pet care. We have already booked again for an upcoming family event we need to travel for. We can't thank you enough Vanessa and see you again soon!!
Vanessa provided excellent care and services for my Luna. Luna has separation anxiety and Vanessa was able to support her needs and help her settle in until I returned. Vanessa was careful, kind, and attentive to Luna who is a 65-70 lbs husky, shepherd, collie mix. I will be using Vanessa’s services again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
