Ms. Eukaryota Animalia

Pet care experience

If your beastie belongs to the Kingdom Amimalia, then chances are I know just how to care for their needs! I’m not half bad with Plantae either! OK, I’m obviously a Science teacher!!! 😂 I currently have 2 dogs, 8 cats, 2 snakes, a lizard and a kid of my own, but I’ve cared for many a species more than that! I’ve got my herps living in super-fancy bioactive vivariums, which I designed and maintain all by myself, so I know I can take care of your exotic pet with ease! I also have experience caring for baby animals, and have nursed countless injured ones back to health! I can give shots, administer meds, clean cages, cut nails, groom, express anal glands, train, correct a stopped shed, trap, even EXTRACT TEETH (yes, I really did that once)!!!! I’m always looking for more creatures to squeeze, so I figured I’d might as well help you hoomans out at the same time! It’s a win-win! Gimme a call and we can work something out.

Vanessa was an excellent interim dog mom for our baby! We were impressed with not only her engagement with our pooch but how welcoming and transparent she was with us. She's very responsive and sends loving pictures throughout the stay. She and her pooch kept Zuri in-line and spoiled all at the same time. We feel blessed to have found her.

This was our first time using Rover. Vanessa was super nice and friendly. She sent us lots of pictures of Teddy, our dog, during his stay which really put our mind at ease. Teddy is young and energetic and Vanessa and her family seemed to do whatever possible to make him feel comfortable and handled him well. Very glad we stumbled across Vanessa!

Vanessa is by far the best pet sitter I know of in the pet sitting profession. She is very trustworthy and dependable and as an animal lover, takes excellent care of our pets. We completely trust her with our animals and access to our house and have come to rely on her. Our pets love when she comes and look forward to each visit.

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet

I love them all, but the bigger the better!!! I have two lovey dovey pit bulls. I deff need to know as much details about your unique pup before you hand him off. There aren’t many special circumstances that will deter me, but it’s like when I get a new student....the more info I know up front, the better I can do my job!

A typical day

I literally LIVE at the creek! I’d LOVE to take your doggy with me to go play in a nearby stream. But, it all depends on the dog! My senior dog loves to people watch in front of the grocery store for goodness sake! I like to let the canid be the guide! After all, it is THEIR walk! They should be able to go see the stuff that interests them!!
