Highlights
Pet care experience
Backed by pet sitter insurance!
Greetings! I'm Vanessa, hailing from the sunny realm of Southern California. Throughout the better part of my life, I've been deeply immersed in the world of veterinary medicine. I've donned the cap of a vet tech assistant for a solid 8 years, and doctor's assistant for another 4. My repertoire includes a myriad of skills ranging from educating clients on their pets treatment plan to administering TLC with finesse. Now, besides my hospital experience , I've been donning a different hat for almost two decades - that of a seasoned pet sitter. Before bidding adieu to California, I had a fan club of long-standing clients who entrusted their furry companions to my care. Equipped with pet sitter insurance through Pet Sitter's International, I bring not only peace of mind but a wealth of experience. I can spot the subtle signs that something might be amiss with your four-legged buddy. Having spent years working with elderly dogs and cats, I'm practically a pro at administering both oral and SQ medications. And, let's not forget, I'm an aficionado of long dog walks – because every good walk deserves a tail-wagging encore!

Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was a trooper taking care of a dog afraid of thunderstorms, 8 barn cats, and 2 horses! She stopped by for a meet and great ahead of our trip and did a wonderful job communicating with us while we were away, sending photos, videos, and updates. She was able to calm our poor dog when we had a thunderstorm and everyone seemed health and happy when we returned! She even watered my garden and plants. Already planning to book her for some future trips!
Vanessa did a great job checking in on our kitty while we were on vacation. She provided great updates and I had no worries leaving him in her care. I will definitely rebook Vanessa when we need care for our boy!
Vanessa did a great job taking care of our beloved pets! She was a good communicator while we were away, sending pictures and updates each day. We will definitely have Vanessa pet sit for us again!
Vanessa really goes above and beyond. Her daily updates are such a relief, and when we got stuck out of town she offered to watch our babies for another night. She is a wonderful sitter and our babies love her!!
Great experience with Vanessa! She was very kind to our nervous pups and had them (literally) eating out of her hand. This was our first experience but definitely would recommend
Vanessa was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our pups, as well as our house, were taken care of. She was very kind, professional, and sent us pictures and updates daily. I highly recommend her and we would definitely have her house sit with our pups again!!

Schedule
I recently accepted a new job that puts me back in the office Monday thru Thursday. I have some flexibility on what time I start and end my work day. On the days that I work, I don’t typically plan anything in the evenings to ensure I spend lots of time with your pets. The rest of the week my schedule is wide open. 🙃
