Pet care experience

4 legs is definitely better than 2.

I currently have a Senior age dog, and have raised her since she was 6 weeks old. She has been my companion, my friend and my best dog. She is bathed weekly, she never discovered the leash concept so to keep her safe she wears a harness with a 35 foot lightweight rope attached to keep her from wandering away too far.

Thank you, Vanessa! Not only have you taken exceptional care of our demanding feline, but you just bailed us out after losing our front door keys at the beach-thank you and God bless you!

This was our first time away from our kitty Timmy, so I was picky in about choosing his cat sitter. After the meet and greet with Vanessa I knew she was the right fit for Timmy. I was at ease while on vacation knowing Timmy was in good hands. Thank you, Vanessa, for the excellent care you gave our kitty!

Vanessa was amazing. Communication was outstanding, knew what was going on everyday. She spent time with our cat and went the extra mile when something came up. 100% recommend, and I hope to use in the future.

We could not possibly be happier with the care Vanessa took with our baby! She wrote thoughtful updates and included lots of photos so we knew he was in good hands while we were gone. Our cat clearly loves Vanessa, she is amazing.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work for the school district and have summer time to explore, walk around, relax and enjoy! Why not do all that with a sweet pup or cat by my side.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure routines and activities are kept are normal as possible when caring for other furry friends. It’s helpful in keeping messes to a minimum and the animal staying consistent will keep them happy.

Pets

A typical day

Play Fetch! Frisbee! Simple walk! Belly rubs, and kisses! Anything the dog is feeling and their energy is able to handle! I like to make sure the dog is taken to their familiar surroundings and nowhere new.

Aggressiveness, if any! How the Master prefers they walk - close by on a tight lease? Loose leash? No leash? Also, what the dog needs to do to have a successful time together - potty, play, walk, water, eat….
