Availability
I work full time from home, so I will be able to give your loved one 24/7 care! I love taking walks around the neighborhood in South Park, and so naturally already spend a lot of outdoor time. I live right next to a dog park, and have a lot of flexibility. We have a dog friendly resident cat, and thus have a lot of cat and dog equipment at all times in our home. A lot of cozy spots to rest!

Information Vanessa N. would like to know about your pet
I have a lot of experience administering oral medications to both dogs and cats with special needs. If potty training or incontinence is an issue, please let me know, I’m happy to accommodate! It would also be helpful to know your doggies triggers, special dietary restrictions, and typical potty patterns! If pets pull or have special leashes or collars, please advise. Thank you!
A typical day
I’m a morning person so we will be up early to go on a walk, and get some exercise! I also live close to Grape Street dog park, so we can always stop by there to play! I work from home so I can play or snuggle in between meetings, and take you around for plenty of walks! I love to cook so if permitted, you can have some treats!

Pets
In 2025, I fostered over 23 animals
Pet care experience
I have cared for bottle babies all the way to senior animals that need meds and additional support. Big and small I love them all! I have socialized the shyest of cats, and the pups that pull and bark. I can administer medication oral and otherwise. I also know how to use a variety of leashes and collars. I have walked over 300 dogs, and work with a reputable rescue in SD to foster cats and puppies. I am my family and friends’ resident dog sitter for many years! I’ve also volunteered at shelters and adore all animals. I’ve even sat for snakes, Guinea pigs, and a skink!

Reviews
Vanessa was amazing! Super thoughtful, responsive, and a great attention to detail. Will absolutely rebook.
Vanessa is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She does weekly check ins with our Great Dane. She is communicative, friendly, and goes above and beyond during her visits. She will do things for us even when unprompted (bring in packages from outside or practice tricks with our dog). Early on in her visits she texted me asking if there were more ways that she could engage with our dog and what her favorite activities are (frisbee, hide and seek). We are so lucky to have Vanessa! We trust her completely and know that our dog is loved and cared for when with her!
Vanessa was 10000/10!!! I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girl with her and I would absolutely do it again! She communicated so well with me throughout the time and was just so sweet to my pup. Thank you for everything Vanessa!
Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.
