Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, loving & outgoing
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was a perfect pet sitter while I was gone on vacation to see family! She sent me many pictures of my cats throughout the week I was gone easing my anxiety of leaving them. She followed all the eating instructions and was a perfect playmate for my younger cat. She was also the best cuddle buddy for my senior cat. We will definitely be using Vanessa moving forward for all our sits for my 3 babies 😊😊
Vanessa was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was caring, attentive, responsible, and genuinely treated my pup like her own. She kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having her around. I highly recommend Vanessa and would gladly have her dog-sit again anytime!

Schedule
I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works!
