About Vanessa

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been taking care of animals my whole life, not because someone asked me to, just because that is who I am. My mother and I run a stray dog rescue in Jamaica right now. We care for 20 dogs ourselves and walk a daily feeding route through our neighborhood for strays still on the street. We fund everything ourselves because it has never felt optional to us. Here in Cary I work at Pet Palace caring for dogs and cats because being around animals is genuinely where I am most at peace. I am not someone who fills the bowl and leaves. I sit with them. I notice how they are feeling. I am patient with anxious animals and comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. I will send you pictures and actually tell you how your pet is doing. Your animal will know they are loved while you are gone. That I can promise.

Vanessa is AMAZING! She cared for our two senior dogs while we were out of town, and it was immediately clear how much she truly loves animals. She is attentive, responsible, and very intuitive to their needs—especially important with older pets. She went above and beyond by taking them to the dog park, playing with them, and making sure they didn’t get too tired or overheated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and total peace of mind. We’ve been so happy that we’re continuing to use her regularly—our dogs (and our whole family!) absolutely love her. Highly recommend!
