Hi! I’m Vanessa — your local Cat Staff & Dog Bestie. If your cat perks up at a PSPSPS or your dog wiggles their whole body when they see someone new, we’re already off to a great start. I’m calm, patient, and really tuned in to animal personalities. I love figuring out what each pet needs — whether that’s quiet company, playtime, a good walk, or slow trust-building. I’ve been caring for animals for years, and it genuinely brings me joy. My own cat, Mr. Giggles, is 9 and fully convinced he owns the lease, so I understand specific routines, quirks, and how important it is for pets to feel safe and respected in their own space. I take that same energy into every home I visit. You can expect: • Clear communication • Thoughtful updates and photos • Respect for your home • A calm, reliable presence your pets can trust I’m experienced with cats, dogs, bunnies, reptiles, and birds. Shy pets, seniors, energetic ones, or pets with particular habits — I’m comfortable with all of them. I’d love to meet your pets and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
