Pet care experience

Quality and Reliable Pet Care

Hello! I am able to provide you with High Quality and Reliable pet care while you are at work, enjoying a vacation, or simply needing a break! I am 43 years old and am working to make extra money to support my family. I currently have 3 dogs, all rescues since they were puppies and now approaching senior-hood! I have had the blessing to have cats earlier in my life and have had digs, cats, birds, etc. since childhood! At one point I worked as a veterinary technician before launching into my career in IT. I have been around and taken care of animals for a long time,.... our fur-babies are our sweetest companions! Allow me to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet while you have peace of mind that they are in good hands while you are away! Thank you.

Thank you for caring for our cats while we were traveling! You really made them feel happy, played with, and fed! We really appreciated you staying for the whole drop in visit and sending pictures as we were really missing them while we were away!!

Vanessa has been absolutely wonderful and such a huge help during a chaotic time. She’s always prompt, attentive, and caring with Lucy and Max — they absolutely adore her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. I truly appreciate Vanessa and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker!

Vanessa is a wonderful dog walker! She is very prompt, arriving right on time and is quick to reply to messages. More importantly, our dog LOVES her! After just two days of walking with Vanessa, Daisy now anxiously awaits her arrival at the door at the exact time. We look forward to having her visit every week 👍🏽

I highly recommend Vanessa. We had an emergency situation and Vanessa immediately responded to our request for a dog walker and was to our house within 30 minutes. She kindly sent us the most adorable pictures of her with our dog. He clearly enjoyed his time with her. She was a lifesaver and so kind to our dog!!

Safety, trust & environment

I appreciate a controlled environment where pets can safely socialize and be cared for! Crates are kept in a specific part of the house where it is quiet and animals can safely and comfortably rest. I have a small fenced in yard for bathroom breaks! And a separate area where food and water can be given in a calm environment.
