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.

Information Vanessa T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are certain behaviours I should be aware of or if they have an illness. Please let me know if they have any dietary restrictions or calorie restrictions, if it's ok to give them treats, and what treats you'd prefer.

A typical day

Playtime usually involves using their kitty toys or treat puzzles to engage them. Some cats enjoy funny voices while we play lol. One cat client of mine likes to play fetch with her treats and it's hilarious! I like to learn where and how they prefer to be pet and given affection, as most cats are very particular about this lol.

It's special to gain a cat's trust

Cat care experience

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.

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!
