Responsible and loving care!

Pet care experience

With years of owning pets and volunteering at the Humane Society of Utah, I can provide special care for your special family members. I have plenty experience with energetic and aggressive dogs. Dealing with pets when they get sick/hurt doesn’t scare me away. I know how to read dogs body language and am knowledgeable on first aid if a problem presents itself. I have ample experience in grooming dogs and cats as well! Neighbors, family and friends have all trusted me with the care of their pets. :)

Vanessa is the best cat sitter! We felt very safe letting her stay at our place and for watching our shy cat while we were gone. We have a very anxious cat that doesn't trust anyone but she trusts Vanessa!

Vanessa was fantastic! She was great at communicating, took lots of pictures, and went above and beyond with care. I would definitely recommend her services!

Safety, trust & environment

With my years of experience owning and babysitting pets at the owners owner home I know how to prevent dogs from breaking out, how to properly leash pets and am attentive to reactive dogs.

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

Important information to know is if the dog needs any special care such as medicine, if the dog is not friendly with other pets/strangers, the dogs likes and dislikes, tendency to bite, if the dog gets anxious when left alone or in crowds, if it’s fully vaccinated, what commands they know and if there’s a preferred vet for emergencies.

A typical day

I’ll happily take them to parks to play fetch, hikes and lakes if the owner is comfortable and provide the appropriate gear for their pets, and if the owner would like I can also socialize the dogs as long as the dog is trained and non-reactive.
