Availability

As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I also work a part-time job with short shifts during the day, which still gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m most available on weekends for longer walks, extended visits, and extra one-on-one attention. During the week, I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy. 🐾

About Vanessa L.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I am attentive to pets’ body language and cues, allowing me to understand when they want to play, rest, exercise, or simply receive extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing individualized care to ensure each pet feels safe and well cared for. I believe pets thrive with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, so I make sure they receive lots of playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while also treating your home responsibly and with care.

Information Vanessa L. would like to know about your pet

To allow for the smoothest process, please provide important details about your dog’s health needs along with behavior around other dogs and strangers. Feel free to also let me know about favorite toys and treats!

A typical day

While taking care of your pets, I prioritize outside walks and play to stimulate their brains. Additionally, playing a good game of fetch or tug-o-rope is something I enjoy the most with pets. Lastly, ensuring your pets have lots of love and snuggles during my time with them is also important!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Vanessa! I’m a college student studying Education with a lifelong love for animals. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets—from dogs and cats to bunnies and more—which helped me develop a deep understanding of and appreciation for animals of all kinds. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My own fur baby means the world to me, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I believe that building strong relationships with animals is essential, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, and cues. I’m comfortable administering medication, recognizing pet behaviors and signals, and ensuring each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs playtime, long walks, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to providing a fun, loving, and stress-free experience. I’m primarily available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate extra time for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Throughout the week, I’m also available for drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a cozy check-in, or someone to maintain their routine while you're away, I’m happy to provide personalized care tailored to their needs.🐾💕
