Pet care experience

Cat, dog, animal, foster lover!

I am a cat mom myself, former dog mom as well. I volunteer for a rescue as a foster parent (for cats). I am comfortable administering medications, and understanding pet needs. I love animals, and I hope to give them the best time possible. Since I understand how stressful leaving your pets can be, Ialso hope that the pet parents I am working for feel safe and assured with the care their pets are getting.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I basically in my cats home. My pets have routines, yet I do try to give them as much playtime as they need. As for my clients, I try to respect their rules and their needs as well. I like to keep them posted and reassured that they left their family in good hands.

Vanessa is an excellent sitter! Took great care of my 2 cats for a week. Made sure that they were happy and content and left detailed messages after each visit. Would recommend Vanessa to anyone!

Vanessa was absolutely wonderful as a drop in sitter - very communicative, friendly, flexible, and all around very easy to work with. It was clear to me she was more concerned about making sure my cat’s needs were taken care of over anything else. She proactively asked questions when I forgot or left out details, and MOST importantly, she always made sure to give my fur baby lots of love! Highly recommend, and I would not hesitate to book again in the future!

Vanessa was fantastic with our fur baby! She was very communicative and easy to talk to and trust. I could tell how loved and cared for our cat felt when we got back because she was at such ease. Will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend!

Vanessa takes care of our family dog and cat during our travels. My dog is reactive to other dogs yet Vanessa walks her several times a day even when it has to be hours when there are not many dogs around. She is very caring to the animals and responsible. She feeds them gives them their meds, cleans the kitty litter and most importantly gives them love. Vanessa stays at our home during our absence because of the dog’s reactivity, my family and I fully trust Vanessa and her care for our pets and home.
