About Me

Hi, I’m Vanessa, the heart behind Genuine Love Pet Care! Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a deep love and connection with animals. With years of experience in pet sitting, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and my goal is to provide them with the same care, love, and attention they would receive from their family. At Genuine Love Pet Care, I offer personalized pet care services, including overnight stays, dog walking, and drop-in visits, ensuring your furry family members feel safe, happy, and well cared for in their home. I am trained in pet safety, experienced in administering medication, and dedicated to making sure your pet receives the exercise, enrichment, and affection they deserve. Whether you're away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving and capable hands. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners and would love the opportunity to care for your beloved companion.

”Vanessa has been our pet sitter for 4 years, and I couldn't be happier with her care and dedication. She takes excellent care of our 3 fur babies and koi fishes, always ensuring they are well fed , safe, and loved. She is incredibly responsible, punctual, and keeps everything clean. Knowing that our pets are in such capable hands gives us great peace of mind. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

”Vanessa was highly recommended to me, and I'm so glad I gave her the opportunity to care for my dogs. She has been taking care of my German Shepherds with so much love and attention. i'm truly grateful for her.”

-Kevin R.

”Vanessa has been dog-sitting my Chihuahua, Carl, for several years, and he absolutely adores her. She’s the only other human he “talks” to besides me! She is one of the most responsible pet sitters I’ve ever worked with, always ensuring Carl is well cared for, including multiple daily walks. Her gentle and caring approach gives me complete peace of mind whenever Carl is with her.”

-Dee J

”Vanessa is a devoted dog mom, and the love and care she gives her own pup, Zena, naturally extends to every dog she looks after. She treats each pet as if they were her own. She’s one of the very few people I trust to care for my dog when I travel. Reliable, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to safety, she always makes sure my little guy, Brodie, is in the best hands. With Vanessa, I have complete peace of mind.”
