Highlights
Pet care experience
Seasoned Animal Lover
I grew up with a lot of different pets. I had three cats and one dog in my adult life. They are no longer with me so I enjoy taking care of and boarding my friend’s animals when they are away. I really enjoy taking care of cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large second floor apartment and a fenced in yard. I live in the North End of Manchester so the neighborhood walks are nice and safe. I live close to Stark Park and Livingston Park for walking trails.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa took excellent care of my dog for a week while I was away on a family vacation. She was very communicative with me when there were questions on my pet's care. She was very conscientious about my pet's meals, treats and daily exercise. I will hire her to dog sit him again!
Vanessa is truly the only person I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with. Normally, whenever I have a trip coming up, instead of being excited, I find myself stressed and anxious about leaving Louis behind, sometimes to the point where I would rather stay home and let my family go without me. Vanessa has completely changed that for me. She takes care of Louis as if he were her own, and I never feel like she is just watching him and providing the basics. She genuinely cares. Louis can be anxious, and Vanessa is incredibly tuned in to that. She makes him comfortable and goes out of her way to make sure he feels safe and loved while I’m gone. That kind of care is very hard to find, and it gives me something that is honestly priceless, the ability to leave Louis and actually enjoy my time away knowing he is in the best possible hands. I trust Vanessa completely and could not recommend her more highly. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pet and just as lucky to know her as a person.
I use Vanessa every time I go away. I highly recommend her as she is dependable and trustworthy. She is great with animals and they are always happy to see her. I can go away for a week and not worry once about my pets. They are 100% being cared for, that level of service is priceless to me.
Vanessa has cared for my French bulldog, Harvey, on several occasions. Whether it's as simple as dog walking or staying with him over night she provides the best care. As a French bulldog owner I am very particular as to who I trust with my pet, we all know how high maintenance they can be and I trust Vanessa completely. She is kind and caring, a true animal lover. She is always our top choice to care for Harvey when we have to be away and he looks forward to spending time with her.
