I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.
Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet
What are they scared of? What other dogs should we stay away from? Are they afraid of certain people or noises, etc. Do they have a favorite route to walk? I leave very detailed instructions when I have someone come to walk/pop in on my dog and cat so the more detailed the better.
A typical day
Whatever they enjoy doing i.e. tug of war, catch, cuddle, etc Cats - chasing a laser, playing with their favorite toy, being pet in their favorite spot., etc.

Pet care experience
I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all.

Reviews

Fantastic as always! Vanessa has cared for my kitty Boo, several times. Couldn’t ask for a more caring and reliable sitter for my guy, even when the hot, humid weather makes it harder to get here. Highly recommended!

Vanessa has cared for my kitty, Boo, many times. This time, she came out to care for him in terrible weather: 100-degree heat and downpours. Always on time, reliable, and communicative, Vanessa takes detailed notes and lots of pictures, which keep me informed of how Boo is doing. I have complete peace of mind that my kitty is well cared for while I am away. I highly recommend Vanessa to care for your prt.

Vanessa took great care of my 12-year old kitty, Boo, as always. Super caring, reliable, and communicative. Thinks ahead on behalf of kitty’s well being. I highly recommend Vanessa to care for your pet.
