Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Compassionate Pet Care
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of pet sitting experience and 6 years of professional experience working with cats and dogs in shelters and boarding facilities. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including senior and special-needs pets that require medication or extra care. I’m currently a psychology student and single mom earning extra income doing something I genuinely love. Occasionally I may need to bring my children with me during visits or walks — they are respectful, gentle with animals, and have grown up around pets their whole lives. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ll always treat your pets like family and do my best to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep the routine as close to the same as possible for the pets I care for. If they have special things that they are used to, I don’t mind taking the extra time to do them!
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for everything!
Can’t say enough good things! We will definitely have Vanessa watch our critters again! She contacted us multiple times a day with updates. She sent us photos of playtime and let us know about anything we needed to be aware of! Our animals were very comfortable
Vanessa is always amazing! She takes good care of our kitties, and does great with giving one of them medication. Highly recommend.
Vanessa takes great care of our kitties! We always appreciate her notes and photos. :)
Vanessa has looked after our kitties a couple of times now, and she does a great job! She posts detailed updates and photos, and always lets us know of any issues. She does awesome with giving one of our cats medicine. It’s not easy being away from your fur babies, but it helps to know that they’re in good hands!
Vanessa was wonderful! She gave my cat medication with no issues. She was very communicative, always on time, and left a detailed update. She made me feel at ease with being away from our babies. Would definitely recommend her!!
