Hello! My name is Vanessa Sorace and I am the proud owner of Zoo Sitters, LLC.

As a former zoo keeper, I realize how much experience, time, energy and patience goes into caring for animals. As a pet owner, I also realize how hard it is for me to give that responsibility to someone I don't know when I have to be out of town. Because of this, I created Zoo Sitters, LLC!

I’ve shared my home with many types of animals ~ from dogs and cats to ferrets, turtles and monkey-tailed skinks. Horses have been a big part of my life as well and show jumping served as my sport from grade school through college.

After graduating from West Chester University in 1997 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a concentration in Animal Behavior Research, I went to work as a zoo keeper caring for many types of exotics including monkeys, lemurs, birds, bats, large cats and bears.

As the years went by, I decided on a career change and went to work in Corporate America while taking courses toward my MBA. While Corporate America taught me a lot about running my own business, it was not as fulfilling as I had hoped. That led me to think about combining my two passions. In 2006, after 6 months living overseas in Costa Rica , observing many exotics in their natural habitats, I decided to return to my hometown of Cape May, NJ and open up a professional pet sitting business.
