favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love providing peace of mind while people are away. I enjoy caring for pets, keeping routines consistent, and treating a home with the same respect I would my own. I genuinely enjoy quiet responsibility and being a steady presence.

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m a responsible, thoughtful house sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for homes and pets while their owners are away. I value routine, calm environments, and clear communication, and I take pride in being dependable and respectful.

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m a responsible, thoughtful house sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for homes and pets while their owners are away. I value routine, calm environments, and clear communication, and I take pride in being dependable and respectful.

I’m especially attentive to pets’ individual needs and personalities, and I understand how important it is for them to stay comfortable in their own space. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, fish, and a turtle. I’m careful with schedules, medication instructions, and day-to-day routines, and I always treat a home as if it were my own.

I’m well-organized, quiet, and conscientious, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can relax knowing everything is being looked after properly. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a clean, secure house and happy, well-cared-for pets.

Pet care

I have looked after dogs and cats for friends and family for a weekend, a week, or even a few months. I have also looked after pools and hot tubs.

Vanessa did a great job taking care of Jack and my house. She was very responsive and always available whenever I reached out, which made things feel stress-free on my vacation. She also took the time to come by and meet me beforehand, which I really appreciated. When I returned, the house was clean and Jack was clearly well cared for. I’d definitely trust her to catsit again and recommend her as well.
Vanessa is a great sitter to work with and left our place impeccably clean! My partner had to come back a day early due to unforeseen circumstances and she was very understanding about that. Our cat was super happy and I would recommend her 100%!!!
I cannot recommend or thank Vanessa highly enough. Organising the housesit was very straightforward and throughout the process she was responsive and accommodating. She took amazing care of my apartment and my dog, and completely put me at ease leaving them in her care. Clean, tidy, courteous, and sent regular updates on the dog! Wonderful experience, would absolutely host Vanessa again and recommend her to anyone who wants an amazing house or pet sitter!
