Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Lago cat mom who loves all pets
Hi there! I’m a work-from-home cat mom in Lago Vista with 10+ years of cat experience and grew up with dogs. As a mom to five different cats, I get how unique each pet’s routine and quirks can be. I stick closely to your instructions- meds, feeding, whatever your pet needs, keeping things calm and low-stress. I only take local clients so I can be consistent and present. Since I can’t have a dog right now, time with yours is my puppy fix; I love all animals. You can expect clear updates, quick responses, and care that’s genuine and dependable.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I follow your instructions and treat your space with respect, noting hiding spots, food preferences, and behavior cues to keep your pet at ease. Meds are given carefully, on schedule, and I stay alert and communicative to any changes in health or behavior. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is a calm, therapeutic experience for the fur babies.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa S. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Vanessa is so great with our kitties. I feel so much better being away, knowing she is looking after my babies. She sends pictures and gives me updates daily. She is so great with my cats, even when they have some “cattitude”.
Vanessa agreed to a short notice drop in to feed my 2 dogs. She was on time and sent a text with pictures. It’s nice even with a short visit to have someone you can count on,
Vanessa was wonderful with our two fur babies. Our 1 year old Basset Hound is very timid with new people, however she quickly warmed up to Vanessa. Vanessa stayed in communication with us throughout our time away, sending regular updates and photos of our pups. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for and loved while we were gone. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and highly recommend her!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, and care for our five cat babies along with my husband. Because of my schedule, I can offer flexible and reliable care for your babies while you’re away.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsVanessa can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- I always require a meet-and-greet first, since knowing your pet’s personality, not just their routine, makes for a smoother visit. Helpful things to share: • Routine: feeding schedule, portions, dietary needs • Medical: meds, dosage/timing, health conditions to watch • Personality: shy or social, triggers, how they warm up to new people • Comfort: favorite spots/toys, need for space vs. company • Emergency: vet contact, allergies Little details matter most, like knowing your cat only drinks from a running faucet, or needs 20 minutes before coming out from under the bed.
