Pet care experience

I Genuinely Enjoy Fur Babies

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.

Safety, trust & environment

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. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.

My four-pawed friend, Millie, and I loved Vanessa's housesitting and drop-in visits. We are sad that she has moved out of our area. For anyone in her new area, I highly recommend her. She is personable, professional, and loving.

Vanessa was great at the one thing I was looking for. When we got home last night, Buddy and Scout were relaxed and happy. That is the #1 priority. The house was well tended and we were able to just unpack and spend our time loving our pets.

Vanessa is reliable, personable, and takes great care of Millie. I am always confident that Millie is in good hands when Vanesssa visits her.

If I could give Vanessa more stars I would! The house was in great shape. She straightened and vacuumed the house. Piper and Dilly seemed very well cared for. We trust our girls instincts and they both warmed right up to Vanessa when they met her. I would highly recommend her!

Vanessa was great! She made my fur babies feel comfortable and took care of them as I would have. She gave us lots of updates on our babies but she also checked our mail, watered our plants, put our pre-made candy bags out on halloween, and even washed the bedding she used. All things she definitely didn't have to do, but we greatly appreciated. We already booked her again for another upcoming trip, but we'll book her for even more in the future. She even wrote us a sweet note about her time with our babies. Thank you again Vanessa!

Vanessa is an outstanding pet sitter. She took great care of our Maggie Mae while we were out of town for a few days. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I service the local area (Camden, Shiloh, Elizabeth City, Currituck) with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work in Elizabeth City M-F from 5-1. For this reason I would recommend only sending a request if your animal is also used to being on a working schedule (left 8+ hours). I will supply visits before and after my working hours. We can discuss specifics based on your location.

Cats

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 friendly with other animals. 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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
