Pet care experience

Cat Lover & Trusted Pet Sitter

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!

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.

Vanessa is reliable, and loves hanging out with our pets. Vanessa was wonderful with my dogs. She stayed overnight with them and sent updates throughout her day. I will definitely be calling her again. It was nice knowing my babies were in their own home and happy. Thanks Vanessa!

Vanessa is my go-to when I need someone to take care of my pup. My dog has separation and social anxiety, but I know she feels safe and loved with Vanessa.

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.
