Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.

Information Vanessa F. would like to know about your pet

Anything and everything that you feel is important in providing the upmost care for them! What’s their personality like? Are they high or low energy? What are their likes and dislikes? Do they have a favorite game we can play together? Let me know what instructions you have for me, and I will follow them to a tee to make sure your fur baby stays happy while you’re away.

A typical day

You can count on me to make sure your fur baby gets all the love and attention they need while you’re away. We’ll make good use of their toys, and they’ll get all the mental and physical stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I’ll make sure to feed them according to their schedule, and have them indulge in some treats too, as we all know food can be the easiest way to their hearts.

Nursing Student Cat Connoisseur

Cat care experience

As a devoted cat owner of 4 years, I know firsthand that cats aren’t just pets—they’re family. I understand the importance of routines, quiet companionship, and the little things that make your cat feel safe and loved. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m not just here to feed and clean—I’m here to give your cat the same level of care and comfort I’d want for my own. You can count on me for reliable updates, a calm presence, and genuine care that goes beyond the basics.

Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!

Vanessa took great care of our cat Teddy while we were away. We appreciated her questions in our meet and greet and her attention to detail in his care. Teddy misses her already!

Vanessa was sweet and consistent in taking care of my kitty while I was gone. She communicated throughout the entire process and before, to coordinate key exchanges and meet and greets. I am grateful for how much she played with and hung out with my cat while I was gone :)
