Pet care experience
Showing up for Your Pet...Everytime
Lucky me to have grown up with my ever-attentive dog, Shirley, an Australian Shepherd mix from the time I was born until I was 14. Then, Cindy - part Chow - came into our family. She was fiery and at grew to become very territorial and protective of our family. I learned how to work with a pup who was loving and sweet to us but dangerous to others. As a young adult, I adopted my perfect grey and white feline with a perfectly pink nose, Merzbow. She was my best friend for 15 years and moved with me from PA to NYC to LA. When I lost her, I was devastated. She was the joy of my life.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 3 story home with access to a back patio on the first floor. Pets can either stay on the first floor, where I am usually working in my music studio and have a bed where I can sleep near them, or they can enjoy the rest of the house if they're able to climb stairs or are easily carried! I live in the city and near a park and can take dogs for walks whenever they need one.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa is an exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and responsible pet caregiver. She helped me care for my beloved dog, Frankie, through the later years of her life, and I truly credit Vanessa with adding years of quality time to Frankie’s life. She was attentive to her needs, patient and loving with her, and always communicative and dependable. Vanessa genuinely loves animals, and that comes through in the care and attention she gives them. I would trust her completely with any pet and recommend her without hesitation.

Schedule
I am a free-lance artist and performer, so I have lots of flexibility on a weekly basis! I go out of town for work from time to time, but I am usually in Pittsburgh and able to visit pets during all hours.
