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. 🙃

I care for pet's as if they were my own. Meaning, I give them lots of love and attention. I also provide excellent medical care for any pets that may need medication administration, would cleaning, ear cleaning, etc.

Information Vanessa W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a brief medical history on them. Any allergies, current medication they may be taking, previous surgeries etc. I'd also like to know any behavioral qualities or concerns.

A typical day

I am a big walker, so I will take your pet for a walk every day. I love kitty and doggy cuddles! :) Extra house-sitting services I'm willing to do anything around the house while I am staying there. I always wash the towels and bedding I use. I love to garden, so you won't have to worry about any of your indoor plants while I'm staying in your home.

Pet care experience

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!

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 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!!
