Amazing, adaptive, accommodating, and so thoughtful! Vanessa asked great questions, really cared about our Duke’s preferences and routines, and gave us many helpful tips and insights. She has more experience than us with dogs, so I learned a lot in our short time together. I’ll definitely use her again as long as I can make the trip to her. Love!

Vanessa is a very sweet lady! I've let her care for my fur baby multiple times and I'm always impressed by the amount of pictures she sends! She responds very quickly and my pup is always super happy! Vanessa follows instructions really well and responds extremely fast! She is very flexible and is always able to help me out on short notice! I definitely recommend using Vanessa to check on your pup because you'll feel super comfortable with her stopping by!

What the personality of your dog is like when not in your company. Are they high energy, like walks, enjoy playing, do they have favorite toys, like kids, or get along with other animals? Are they leash trained? Do they have recall commands?
