The biggest animal lover ever!

Pet care experience

I have been wanting to work with animals since I was little. My first plan was to be a veterinarian, but as time went on, that didn’t pan out due to the cost of schooling and I don’t think I could handle seeing injured animals. I am lucky and have had pets my entire life, starting with my first dog Mariah when I was three years old in 1986. She passed away in 2003 and I was devastated. I vowed to never get another dog. But then in 2005, my beloved Bowie came into my life as a stray. He was my shadow every day for almost 15 years. Unfortunately, old age caught up to him and he passed away in January of 2020 😔 I still haven’t fully recovered, he was my best friend. I was able to get a new baby girl in October 2020 named Fritz!!! She’s a little over 2 years old and an Aussie/heeler/lab mix. She’s crazy and I adore her! I am more than happy to help out somebody who also loves dogs. I have also had seven cats throughout my lifetime and happy to help with them as well! My beloved 19 year old cat Ash just passed away January 1st of 2022 and I greatly miss his presence. I just love felines.

Vanessa is an amazing animal lover. Her dedication and love for her dog, Bowie, was massive. May he rest in peace. He lived a very long life and I am sure her care attributed to that. She is also a very reliable employee any where she has worked and does work. I highly recommend her and would be thrilled to have her care for my own pets.

Vanessa is wonderful with animals and is professional, punctual, trustworthy, and caring. My often skiddish Pomeranian warmed up to her right away. Vanessa has helped me so much and freed up my schedule. I can rest assured knowing she’s caring for my doggie while I’m at work or away on business. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Vanessa is Wonderful! She treats my dog as if he were her own, and he is always very excited when she gets here for his walks. Very professional, and an absolute pleasure to have for my dog!

Vanessa is a fantastic auntie to my many fur babies over the years. From cats to our 6-month-old mixed mutt, Zoe, Vanessa is attentive, calm yet firm, and a favored human bearing treats, loves, and fun. She brings an endearing and protective energy and is sure to be a great companion to your pupper.

Safety, trust & environment

My environment at home is a little unpredictable as i have my puppy. Shes very rambunctious but would never hurt anyone. However She’s not used to being around any other animals, so just to be safe, I would rather watch them at your house.

Information Vanessa A. would like to know about your pet

Their age, likes and dislikes (especially with physical contact, the dog needs to feel comfortable and safe above all else!), favorite toys, places they like.

A typical day

I love walking, playing with any toys they have, a little roughhousing (I do this with my puppy a lot), helping teach tricks, playing fetch. I’m up for anything!
