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

We're a repeat customer of Vanessa's. She always tries really hard to find our cat, who is an expert at hide and seek. If she can't find her, she does report back that she's eating and using the litter box so we know all is well. Highly recommend!

This was the second time Vanessa took care of my 2 cats. She was able to capture a few photos of them while we were away, and as always, took great care of the kitties and house.

Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cats while we were on vacation. She provided daily updates and made an extra attempt to find the cats in their hiding spots to make sure all was well. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again!

Vanessa is the most amazing pet sitter ever! We have been using her for a few years now and are so thankful that we have her to take care of our babies when we are away. We know they are always in good hands and that we don’t have to worry about them. 🙂
