Attentive care for your Babe!

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime of experience owning and caring for cats and dogs, including my own senior cat, Cleo, who had complex medical needs and needed daily medication. I know how important it is to have someone who is responsible, reliable, and attentive to care for your pets when you’re not home. I have basic medical care experience i.e. administering oral/topical medication, CBD, monitoring and wound care. I am also familiar with preparing custom meals based off of nutritional needs.

Vanessa is truly a cat whisperer. I have two senior, shy cats who are very attached to me, and she goes above and beyond to care for them. One of my cats usually hides from everyone and won’t come out until visitors are gone—but not with Vanessa. He feel completely safe around her, which speaks volumes. She’s great at communicating and always sends the sweetest photo updates. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver.

Vanessa took care of my adorable cat Gigi for 5 days at my house, while I was on vacation. She took great care of her, spent time with her, playing. She made sure the litter box was clean, fresh water twice a day. Gave her wet food twice a day, and her kibble bowl filled. By having her at the house, I knew Gigi was well taken care of, gave me great piece mind, and someone to take care of the house. I would definitely hire her again, and recommend her to anyone that wants their cat or dog well taken care of.

Vanessa would watch my cat Star whenever I would go out of town. She always spent so much quality time with her playing and petting her. She even put the animal Chanel on the tv for her so she could watch the birds and she loved it. She is the best pet sitter I have ever used and never had to worry about anything when I was away.
