Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I have over 10 years of animal care experience and have pet sat for many friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family with all kinds of animals! We are a Coast Guard family and have been stationed in Miami, Alaska, DC, & Maryland. My husband and son are also animal lovers and we have 2 dogs named Luna & Ivy. Please message me if you have any questions!

I had a great experience leaving my puppy with Vanessa! This was his first time ever being left with a sitter so I was a little nervous but Vanessa sent plenty of photos and updates and I knew he was in good hands. He was so excited pulling up to her house again which tells me he had a great time there. Will definitely be rebooking in the future and I know Milo will be so excited to be back!

Our first boarding with Vanessa was excellent! Pepper clearly had a great time and was well cared for. Vanessa sent photo updates during the boarding and was very easy to communicate with regarding drop off and pickup times.

Vanessa was amazing! She took such great care of our cats & turtle. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again.
