Information Vanessa O. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care for your pet, please share all details including any special needs, medical conditions, or behavioral tendencies (e.g., reactivity, resource guarding, collar sensitivity, or bolting). Please share your pet's daily routine, likes and dislikes, exercise regimen, and any house rules or commands I should follow. Let me know if there are allergies, safety concerns, if dogs cannot safely be walked together so I can plan accordingly, as well as emergency contacts. This information helps me ensure your pet’s experience is safe, comfortable, and tailored to their needs.
A typical day
I provide both physical and mental stimulation through walks and playtime. If your pet is in training, I’m happy to reinforce the routines you’ve established. For pets who prefer a calmer energy, I can offer gentle brushing, soothing companionship, and plenty of personal attention to keep them happy and relaxed. My goal is to ensure your pet feels cared for and has a fun, fulfilling experience while you're away.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’ve always had a passion for animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I started pet and house sitting for friends and family, and over the past couple of years I’ve also cared for pets through Rover. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Cats are my favorite. I love their unique personalities, but I also have experience caring for dogs and birds. Throughout my life I’ve had cats, small and large dogs, and cockatiels, which has given me experience with a variety of pets. I currently have a German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs active, engaged, and well cared for. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow it closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, giving simple medications, or spending extra time playing and keeping them company. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping you feel at ease while you’re away!

Reviews
Vanessa was amazing as usual! She always leaves detailed notes and photos from each visit and left my apartment cleaner than it was before!!! Chessie seems to really get along with her too. Will continue to book with Vanessa!
Vanessa O is our cats' varorite sitter. We have hsed her several times, and trust her completely. In addition to the usual cat duties (food, water, meds, litter, etc) she takes the time to play with them, and they look forward to her visits.
Vanessa was incredibly thorough and had excellent communication throughout her visit. She documented everything she did with detailed notes and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. She carefully followed all of Chessie’s care instructions and made sure everything was taken care of before she left. She also got along great with Chessie! I felt completely comfortable trusting her because of how attentive she was. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Excellent sitter! Our cats love her! She provides excellent care to both our youngsters, who love to play; and our elders, who need special care.
