Offers care for cats

Professional & Experienced

"Cats have always had a special place in my heart when it came to connection. The bond you have with a cat is like no other - there's nothing like a quiet evening with a cat on your lap."

About Vanessa Z.

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with 16 years of experience caring for kitties of all ages, from tiny bottle babies to wise old seniors. I also volunteer with local shelters, helping the littlest ones get a strong start. I believe every cat deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether your kitty is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like one of my own – with lots of patience, gentle care, and cozy company. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!

What Clients Say About Vanessa Z.

"I’ve had a few sitters over the years, but Vanessa is hands-down the best cat whisperer I've ever met. She takes care of my cat Chonk like he’s her own, and that peace of mind is everything when I travel. The real proof? When I get home, Chonk is happy, relaxed, and actually excited to see me — no dramatic cold shoulder, no guilt trip, just pure purrs. That’s how I know he’s been loved and cared for while I’ve been away. Also — and I can’t explain this — she somehow gets better photos of him than I do. I’m his human, and yet she captures these candid, majestic, hilarious little moments that make my day while I’m gone. If she ever opens a side hustle in cat photography, I’ll be her first client. Vanessa is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a heart for animals. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my boy. 100/10 — highly recommend."
