Caring for pets makes me happy!

Pet care experience

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.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Vanessa and Justin provided for our cat, Simon, while we were away for three weeks. From the start, they were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates and FaceTime calls—they really helped put our minds at ease, especially since Simon is an older cat. Vanessa and Justin went above and beyond. They played with him, brushed him, and gave him all the love and attention he’s used to at home. Honestly, we’re not sure he even wanted to come back—he was exceptionally cared for and clearly formed a bond with them. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much!

Vanessa took time with our shy cats and made them love their stay. Who otherwise are very uncomfortable in a sitters home. They were allowed a lot of play and exploring time. They were given all amenities of their 5 star accommodation.

My cat was boarded for the first time ever with her and I was very nervous about it. Vanessa took care of her very well and I will recommend her services to anyone.

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 cats for both of their safety. If your cat needs more room to explore, I will allow them supervised time in the house every day.
