Highlights

Enhanced background check

Pet care experience

It's special to gain a cat's trust

I am a gentle soul with a soft voice and I've found many cats respond well to me. I understand the intricacies of earning a cat's trust and being able to read their body language. I can read a cat's energy level and be fun and silly too, if I think that's more what they'd enjoy. I take pride in following a cat parent's instructions and paying attention to detail, which I think helps to put the cat parent's mind at ease. I've taken care of cats of my own since I was a kid, and I've been caring for cats through Rover for 4 years.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to make a connection with cats and earn their trust by paying attention to their body language. I am gentle and have a soft voice, which cats seem to respond well to. I also like being silly and playing with cats who need fun stimulation.

Vanessa was valuable in my confidence to be away from my cats for multiple days. Playtime and medication were as agreed and both kitties were very happy and calm when I returned. I will definitely use Vanessa again.

Vanessa is our go-to sitter for our precious kitty, Jade. It's clear that Jade adores her and is always very happy when we return from our trips. We are very happy to have found her!

Vanessa has looked after our kitty Jade several times now, and we are so grateful to have found her! We find Vanessa to be very kind, communicative, and attentive to detail. Our sensitive kitty is so much happier when we return from our trips, thanks to her care. We have several more visits booked for the remainder of the season and we look forward to working with Vanessa again!
