Safety, trust & environment

I treat each animal I care for as if they were my own. I love to take photos to update clients about our time together, whether it be on walks or just checking in :)

Information Vanessa P. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with other dogs? Do they have any aversions (for example: doesn't like strangers, males or loud voices, small children, etc)? As far as breed preferences: I love ALL breeds, so all are welcome!

A typical day

If your dog loves to play fetch for 30 minutes, wants their belly rubbed for an hour, or wants a nice walk around the neighborhood, I’m happy to do whatever they are happy with!

Professional, caring sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Vanessa and I am a professional pet sitter. I have loved animals all of my life. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a dog roaming around my childhood home. I currently have three family dogs. With my love for animals, I decided to care for them as a living! I began pet sitting for family and friends for fun. Eventually, I began to get referrals and pet sat part-time. I have now been pet sitting for over a decade and run my own business. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labs to Cocker Spaniels. Any time an animal is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own.

Vanessa is awesome. This is the second time she has taken care of our dog and we will definitely continue using her. She is super attentive and communicative. I will recommend her to anyone.

This was her first ever sitter and our baby loved Vanessa! Vanessa made sure to come over and do a meet and greet with our cat before accepting the job and keep us informed if anything seemed off while we were on vacation. This was so important to us because Riley can be wary of strangers. We would highly recommend and trust her again with our Riley.
