I Genuinely Enjoy Fur Babies

Pet care experience

I love animals of all breeds, temperaments, and age. I promise to greet and treat your animals as if they were my own. Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit.

Vanessa has house sat with my dog Breena on two separate occasions. She was great with communication and updates while we were away. She took fantastic care of my dog and also our home. She is our go to sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Vanessa was so sweet and attentive to our dog Breena while she was house sitting. She was communicative with texts, pictures and videos everyday and provided us recaps every night about how every day went. I didn't have to wonder or be concerned about anything. She made me feel like my dog was in well capable hands. She also was very respectful of our home and left it tidy upon her departure. We will absolutely be reaching out to Vanessa anytime we need someome to watch our dog. I highly recommend Vanessa for your pets, 10/10.

Right from the beginning, Vanessa was highly communicative and put our mind at ease leaving a stranger to care of our 2 dogs (in our home) for a week while we were in vacation! In addition to taking care of the basics, she loved on our dogs and talked to them like they were her own. And the cherry on top was coming home to a perfectly clean house since she tidied everything before leaving! 10/10 would highly recommend her to anyone!

Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! My little one (Ramona) is a Covid puppy. She’s been home with us daily since we brought her home 2 years ago. I panicked when the kennel said Atticus and Ramona couldn’t share a kennel. (Doubles we’re full)) and then Vanessa came to meet them. It was obvious they had fun, and felt safe and secure. She went above and beyond taking care of them. Played frisbee, went on walks and she even took them to the dog park. She sent me pictures and videos daily of them having fun. House and pups were in awesome shape when we got home!! Since we’ve been home sometimes I’ll see one of my pups look at the door, almost like they’re expecting her to come visit. I would highly recommend Vanessa for any of your dog watching needs!!

I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too.

Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what your animals "normal" is. I like to see them in their natural state. I also like to know if they are okay meeting other animals. I have two boys who tag along sometimes so it's important to know if they do well with kids. Its also important to know if they have been left before and how they did. This way I can prepare for nervousness and give extra cuddles. I also like to know medical history and any special needs. Leave any vet or neighbor contact just in case of an emergency.

A typical day

I like to introduce your doggies to mine if your comfortable with that. I go to dog parks all over from Smithfield, Clayton, Knightdale, and even Apex. I of course won't do anything your uncomfortable with. If your doggies isn't used to the dog park scene I am completely fine playing catch in your yard or even lounging with them in the living room.
