Pet care experience

Pets are a gift to us.

I have watched my friends and neighbors and families pets for 25+ years. I am The pet whisperer. I love both cats and dogs. I have owned both. I was lucky to have a beautiful boxer (Mollie) for 12+ years till she peacefully passed away last winter. I now want to share that love with you and your sweet fur baby while you do what you need to do, and give you peace of mind that they are being loved and cared for. I have had the privilege of having a cat for 20 years, and a dog for 12. I love animals and feel They are a gift to us in this life.

Vanessa has a way of putting animals at ease that is so impressive! She is a very thoughtful caretaker who asks great questions and shares fun things she notices about our boys. As a reactive dog mom, I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and she went above and beyond to show them extra care and communicated well with us!

Vanessa was fabulous and focused on caring for my cat Jesse. She was considerate and cared about seeing where everything was and his most favorite toys. She shared many pictures and updates about what they did during their visits. Would recommend and Vanessa set my mind at ease knowing he was cared for.

Vanessa is an animal whisperer. My boy, Apollo, loves it when she walks him. He loves her! She’s always on time and attentive to what he needs.

Vanessa is the best with animals. She loves them, they love her. She takes wonderful care of each of them, and will love them like they are her own. She is so good with my dog that he considers her a second mom. Responsible and sensitive to a pets needs, any animal is lucky to have her in its life!
