Pet care experience

I have owned a pet my entire life. My pet care skills range from dogs, cats, fish, birds, and hamsters. I’ve had pet care experience for over 7 years from taking care of neighbors, family members, and friends pets. I am able to walk, feed, bathe, train, apply oral medication, and follow any personal or medical instructions provided for your pet!

Look no further. Vanessa is the sitter you are looking for. She is excited, loving, trustworthy and attentive. Vanessa's picture updates and text messages helped us to feel confident that our pet was happy and loved. Thank you, Vanessa!!

Vanessa was great and took great care of Rudy, a brand new puppy! We needed someone on short notice and was super helpful. Thank you again Vanessa!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently not allowed to have other pets in my home because my dog does not get along well with other animals due to anxiety. However, I am more than happy and experienced in taking care of your pet in your home. I follow written instructions/routines, and I always ensure your pet is happy, healthy, fed, and comfortable.

Information Vanessa Z. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any illnesses, behavioral issues, or anything you believe is necessary for me to be aware of. I can accommodate and adjust to the needs of any and all pets, please do not hesitate to tell me what’s going on because I am more than happy to help!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. On walks I like to explore parks near wherever I am or walk through the neighborhood, and I usually try to stay away from busy streets. I also love playing fetch or trying to teach dogs how to retrieve things. Along with that, I’m a big cuddler and love laying or sitting next to dogs that need a power nap. I also love giving gifts, with your permission, I might bring your dog a new toy!
