YOUR PET'S NEW BEST FRIEND!
Pet care experience
I love animals of all kinds and have been helping family, friends and neighbors with theirs for over 15 years! My responsiblities included but were not limited to walking, feeding and bathing. I also assisted in crate training two dogs. I am very active and enjoy being outdoors. I'm currently working part-time and available after 1 pm on the weekdays, and all day on the weekends for walking, play dates and pet sitting. I am a kindergarten teacher in a neighboring town and will be on summer break as of June 2nd! I have a small fenced in area and live in a dog friendly apartment. I don't have any pets of my own. This means that your pets have my undivided attention, but that there are dog friends nearby for play dates!
Reviews
Vanessa is amazing (always) and treats our dog like her own fur baby!
Vanessa is the best! This is my fur baby's third time with her. She was overjoyed to see Vanessa again and super sad to leave her. It's a testament to how well she looks after them and how much they bond with her. ♥️
Vanessa is the best!
Vanessa was wonderful with our senior shih tzu Gizmo! She was very communicative with me while away and attentive to his senior needs. With all the updates, videos and pictures she sent over, I could tell Gizmo was immediately comfortable with her.

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet
I think its important to get a feel for the specific dogs likes and dislikes- why they fear (fireworks, thunder, water) and also the familiar words and lingo used when interacting with the dogs!
A typical day
I'm very active myself, so I love a long walk. I live near a very large park (walking distance) and there is a great dog park in my town as well. I'm also a big snuggler and love to cuddle up on the couch for a movie!

Availability
During the school year, I work from 8:30 am until about 1:30. Typically I will walk your pet last thing prior to leaving and first thing when I get home. However during holidays, weekends and during the summer months I am completely available and have a very flexible schedule.
