Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Loving, and Structured Care
I've had pets my whole life and their care has always come naturally to me. I've brought dogs in from puppyhood and trained them in everything from housebreaking to tricks for fun. I find structure and love go hand in hand when it comes to raising well-behaved, happy pets. From an energetic dog to a geriatric dog that needs gentle care, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I am also very dependable and consistent — your pet's routine will always be respected with me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your safety and comfort are your pet's priority. I live in a quiet, pet-free residence with a securely fenced yard where pets may roam freely. I also live with a kind old Catahoula who also tolerates other pets. Either whether you board your dog in my residence or in your residence, I have a clean and peaceful environment as well as adhering to your pet's schedule strictly to keep them feeling like home and loved. You can rely on me to treat them like family.
Ratings and reviews
Very thankful for Vanessa and her finance to housesit at such short notice!
Vanessa was wonderful! She is very pleasant, communicative, and did a great job house sitting with my two dogs. She kept me updated with messages and photos which is appreciated. I would definitely use Vanessa again!


Vanessa is amazing! She is a great communicator, friendly, and professional. I felt confident immediately at the meet & greet with having her watch our pug Stitch and staying in our home. Even when our plans changed unexpectedly for our departure and return she was flexible and understanding. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

We were so nervous to leave our little old man with anyone But Vanessa was so sweet and so wonderful. Boo-boo bless his heart was very happy. Thank you Rover. Thank you, Vanessa😘
When I was at basic training for the USCG and my family wanted to spend a final two weeks with me in CT, Vanessa house sat and kept good watch over our dog, who is VERY needy. I was impressed with how many pictures she sent us. The dog was clearly pet and loved, and the house was still clean when my family came home (or so I heard).
