Passionate critter sitter

Pet care experience

Contact me for special rates and services. I take care of all animals as they were my own. I have rescued several stray and ferral dogs and have volunteered with cat and dog rescues to help with placement and fostering of animals in need. My enjoyment comes from helping others in need whether just a small need or large need I always do what I can to make sure I handle every task to the best of my ability. Animals have always been my passion ever since I was young. I am known for being able to help people find forever homes for the animals they can no longer care for or strays that are in need of a good home. I have helped several rescues with ill animals and making them better. One of my speical skills is taking care of high anxiety pets or pets that have come from a bad experience in their lifetime and making sure they are handled with love and affection. Please call for rates because I will work with your needs and your budget. Also offering military discount

Vanessa was great. Dealing with my cat herd isn't easy because they are masters of hide and seek. She was able to find and photo a few and even got a few pets in with one of them. She provided updates and pics daily. Anything out of the ordinary or new cat destruction she provided notice! Nice to go away and not be stressed over their care!

A big “Thank You” to Vanessa for taking care of my dog Zora during my mini break. Vanessa was very professional and showered my baby with love and kindness. This is the first time I’ve had Vanessa take care of her but I definitely will be reaching out to her again for my next trip.

Vanessa always does a phenomenal job with our dogs! She is a true mvp when we have to go out of town. I am always so relaxed when i leave my dogs with her because i know she takes care of them and loves them in the same ways we do. They love spending time with her and we're glad she loves spending time with them too.
