Expert animal lover and care giver

Pet care experience

I was the sole caretaker for my dog, Rusty, at the age of 14 (with the exception of vet bills). I have owned pets my entire life, and I am a die hard animal lover! I am an active volunteer for ADORE Houston, a dog rescue group in Houston, participating in adoption and special events. I grew up in New Hampshire with a bunny, cat, and two dogs. In high school I cared for five cats and one dog, a Miniature Sheltie. I attended Simmons College in Boston, where I was granted an academic scholarship and had to maintain a 3.5 GPA. I have had a professional career for the past six years as an Administrative Assistant, but animals are my passion! I can provide a safe, secure, and loving environment where your pet's needs will be put first!

Vanessa was very quick to respond to my contacts and kept me informed throughout the stay. When we arrived she made Ga by feel at ease and showed lots of attention to keeping her well exercised and happy.

Information Vanessa A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the pet's experience/comfort level with babies, as I have a 1-year-old at home. I would also like to know if they are okay with other dogs, as I have a 3-year-old American Bull Dog/Lab mix at home. I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

My apartment community is pet friendly and has a great dog park with agility courses where your pet will have lots of fun! There is a large field that is a 5-minute walk away from my apartment where I can walk your dog, and I also have a large, fenced in yard right in my back yard!
