Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Vannessa, and I would love to help care for your furry friend. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have cared for everything from Chihuahuas to three Labradors, including animals with health issues. I've been babysitting friends' cats for the last six years, including fostering two 13 year old cats. I now have 2 cats of my own! I live in Waltham, and I’m available for pet sitting and drop in visits, with some availability for walks. I’m comfortable walking both large and small dogs (lots of practice with some excited Labs!). I am also happy to stay over to care for your pets while you’re out of town. I have experience giving medicine to both cats and dogs in the form of oral meds, ear and nose meds, shots, and topical ointments. I'd love to meet your pup or cat. Let's chat about how I can help you!
Reviews
Vannessa has been my go to cat sitter for months now and she consistently does a fantastic job! My cat (who worth noting is very timid) is so incredibly comfortable with her that it’s an obvious choice who we want as our sitter time and time again. Thanks, Vannessa!!
Vannessa did an amazing job watching my cat Luna while I was away for a week. She went out of her way to make sure Luna was cared for as well as possible and I appreciated her so much!
Vannessa kept our cat well fed and hydrated while we were on vacation for a week. She also collected our mail and packages, much appreciated. Our guy was very happy to make a new friend in Vannessa! Thank you, Vannessa!!
Vanessa was amazing! She really took the time to bond with and understand my cat’s particular personality and needs. Vanessa gave her ear drops like a champ and sent wonderful, detailed updates. Would absolutely book again!
About Vannessa G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take pet safety seriously, and always ensure your pet remains in the home or designated space. I let your pet lead our interactions - giving them space or attention as they indicate they need.
Information Vannessa G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet is on any medications, and what their temperament is like, especially towards strangers. My policy is to meet every animal before the first time I sit / walk them and we can discuss more during that visit.
A typical day
I always make sure your pet gets the kind of attention they need, whether that’s walking and active play or a calm presence and gentle pets.
