I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.

Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet

It’s very important to me to know what kind of food dietary, medications, or if your dog has any allergies or special needs because these things are so important to point out to me before I start any walks, drop in visits, or if your dog is staying over with me. Thank you!

A typical day

Dogs are individuals, as are people. I would ask the owners what kinds of activities, games their dog enjoys, and go along with those. I know dogs love nice long walks in parks or trails, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs that I taken care of really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on my lap, being scratched and stroked. It honestly all lies on the owner because they know them the best!

Cat care experience

I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. At age 7 I had two cats Cookie and Mimi they’re were my best friends. After gaining experience in caring for my own cats I started to pet sit neighbors, friends, and family members cats. I also have experience with kittens, senior cats, and disabled cats.

Vanessa is attentive, respectful, and patient when it comes to her style of caregiving—especially for pets! Her love of all animals inspires this recommendation. I have known her for over 7 years and she has cared for my dogs while I’m away multiple times. Your furry friend is in great hands if you choose Vanessa!

I have so many good memories and stories about my friend Vanessa! Not only is she an amazing and caring friend but she was a wonderful pet sitter for my two chihuahuas. She was so responsible when it came to pet sitting my dogs, my dogs truly miss her so much. She took them in so many different adventures that even I lost count! Overall, I highly recommend her services if your pet needs love and care when you can’t be there!
