Pet care experience

Caring for pets makes me happy!

I have taken care of cats, dogs and other small animals for 25+ years. I have trained my cat to do tricks and administered oral and topical meds. We have fostered cats and kittens and cat-sitter and boarded for friends and family. I have experience walking and hiking with friend's dogs. My husband, Jeremy also helps out.

Vanessa did a fine job of caring for Dolly and Bennie. I will be glad to have her care for them again.

Vanessa and Jeremy did a fantastic job with our cat. Professional, friendly, responsive and responsible — they even shoveled our sidewalk! Highly recommended.

Vanessa and her husband did a great job watching my cat. They sent pictures daily and kept me updated. I would use them again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, your vacationing cats will share my part time (hybrid) home office/ guest room. I only board cats- 1 or 2 from one family, no dogs. Our guest room features a cat tree and lots of cozy spots including a popular window seat to watch the birds in the backyard. This allows us to separate them from my own cat for both of their safety. If your cat needs more room to explore, I will allow them supervised time in the house every day. Although I have fostered cats in the past, I am not currently fostering.

Pets

A typical day

I can accommodate what your cat needs including treat time, play time and cuddles. My husband Jeremy is also around and loves pets too! We can also provide company with pets and cuddle time if they are comfortable with it. If your cat is staying with us they will stay in my home office and have supervised access to the rest of the house.
