Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. I always love pet sitting for my colleagues, boss, family, and friends when they’re out of town. I love walking dogs the most, just because it’s an easy way to be active ☺️ I live with an outdoor cat who’s getting acclimated to staying indoors.
Reviews
Vanessa was great! Sent so many updates, was on time, gave us suggestions on better care for our pets. She made sure the house was clean and our babies were taken care of! Made my wedding weekend a lot less stressful. Thanks Vanessa!
Vanessa had some great ideas on cycling our cat onto her new medication. She made good progress while we were gone and were pleasantly surprised. Our cat is a picky girl!
Vanessa was nice and polite upon meeting, however, we had a few significant issues during her stay. Firstly, she showed up 2.5 hours late to our agreed upon start time resulting in the dogs not being let out for over 10 hours. Unfortunately she left food out on the counter (against our direct instructions) that the dogs got into on the second night of her stay. She called poison control and subsequently tried to charge us for the associated cost. She broke our ceramic cat foot bowl without telling us and also ripped the duvet and duvet cover in the guest room she was staying (also without telling us). Upon my return I found windows in the guest room and guest bathroom unlocked/partially opened and still have not been able to find the house key that she borrowed and supposedly returned. The cost to replace duvet and locks was more than than it cost to hire her in the first place.
Vanessa was so great with our crazy crew for the weekend. I can’t recommend her enough!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like lists, so please including any specific diet, Medicine, or habits/ quirks always help making it easier to take care of the in your home. Many pets can be shy or territorial and I want them to feel at home with me too.
Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet
My main priorities are safety and accommodations! I have limited experience with older babies and special needs. Adhering to diets and fixed hours is easy, but I wanna make sure the baby feels at home and comfortable and for their needs.
A typical day
I like exploring local dog parks, hikes, and depending on their comfort give them plenty of yard and park time. They have their toys and sometimes they might join me when I’m ordering takeout next to the couch.
