Pet care experience
I grew up around dogs my whole life. My family pup went over the rainbow a couple years ago and though I’m not ready for another pup right now, I enjoy the energy of having dogs around. That’s where y’all come in. I love being able to board pups through Rover because I get to hang out with some pretty awesome dogs. Pup parents, y’all are pretty cool too. But anyway, when your pup stays with me, it’ll be like staying with family or a close friend. I treat your pup as if it was my own and I want to make sure they have the best time while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with availability since I have help from my mom, who has been helping me with boarding cute pups since 2018. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiry and try to include info that may help facilitate the booking process: 1. Has your pup been boarded before? 2. Any triggers we should be aware of? (For example: Reactive on leash, doesn’t like motorcycles, not good around kids, etc) 3. Any special to your pup care instructions you wish for us to know. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Reviews
Vanessa is the sweetest! We love taking our pup Lucy to her! She’s so attentive and kind and Lucy makes herself right at home when she goes to Vanessa’s house! We have been using her for years and will continue to do so!!!
Vanessa rocks as always! Luna adores her.
Vanessa came in clutch when I needed someone to watch Luna on such a short notice when plans fell through. She is a lifesaver and I can always trust Luna with her! Vanessa might just be the only other person in Luna’s life that she get’s incredibly wiggly and excited to see! And that says everything to me about the care she gets there :)
Vanessa is the best! She’s always my first choice for dogsitting, she’s that good. My dog is obsessed with her and feels right at home at her place. Vanessa gives her so much exercise, too! I have complete trust in her.

I care for your pups in my home. Please bring with your pup anything to make their stay the most comfortable. Some families bring their pet’s bed or crate, but pups have the option of sharing my space with them as long as they are not excess shedders or recently bathed. I do offer baths for an additional fee. Please inquire if interested.
Home
Information Vanessa H. would like to know about your pet
Please include any information you think we should know when caring for your dog. You know best since you spend most time with them. As a sitter and teacher, I can analyze behavior patterns, but it helps to know the most important factors.
A typical day
We take walks mornings and evenings if your pup is up for it. I do tailor experiences based on your pet's regular needs by varying walks, activities, etc. I usually do neighborhood walks or dog parks, but usually only if you and I are both comfortable and confident that your pup would be okay with other dogs and responsive to their commands. Hikes for more active dogs may also be a thing!
