Your furbabies are in great hands!

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am a dog mom of a 16 year old sweet senior, two rescue bunnies and I have fostered seven dogs through rescues. I have cared for both dogs and cats while their families are out of town. My goal is to keep their routines as close to normal as possible while providing the love and attention they miss while you're away. I personally know how tough it is to leave your pets behind for vacation or a work trip so I am happy to send pictures and/or video of your babies having a good time with me for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!

Vanessa was wonderful with our pups and made us feel at ease leaving them (even though we rarely do). We loved the daily pictures and recaps. Would definitely book with Vanessa again!

Vanessa is extremely thorough in inquiring about pets needs, likes, dislikes, feeding etc. our dogs liked her immediately. We found our home as we left it. All instructions followed. Great notification and message of assurance while we were gone. Will definitely have her again.

Vanessa has been a wonderful sitter for our rather timid corgi and young cat. We typically deal with a degree of separation anxiety with our dog after going away for a time, but our little furball warmed up to Vanessa right off. She took excellent care of our pets and I would greatly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. She was very responsive with any communications and went out of her way to help accommodate the special arrangements with our pets. I'm incredibly satisfied with how well Vanessa took care of our pets while we've been away.

Why can't I add an extra staaaarrrr?! This girl is too legit to quit. She's down to earth, knows how to handle ugly, giant dogs and isn't a crazy person. I couldn't have felt more confident in leaving my beasts in her capable hands...she also sent pictures and updates. It. Was. Awesome. Bonus points for straight up snug life.
