The Best Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

I understand that it can be stressful for a pet parent to go away and leave their fur- baby, whether short or long term. It can also be stressful for the fur baby to be away from their pet parent and the comforts and familiarity of their own home. I enjoy having the opportunity to provide a safe, pet friendly, clean and comfortable environment for your pup, so as to alleviate the stress and worry. All pups in my care are treated as family. They are given attention and affection galore, along with activities and exercise, ensuring they are happy and contented during your absence. I like to provide periodic updates with pictures and video so you can see your pup while away also. As a pet parent with 15 years experience caring for dogs, your fur baby is in great hands. About this sitter: I am a dog lover and owner. I grew up around Rottweilers and have been a dog owner most of my life. To me, a house is not a home without a dog! I believe we owe our fur babies the very best for the happiness that they bring to our lives and I enjoy having the opportunity to host them. My work is home- based, which allows me to interact with the pups I host, throughout the day. I know how much love I have for my pup, so I treat any pup in my care as I would treat my own. Why I love dog sitting I enjoy interacting and working with dogs, and being that safe, fun place for pups to stay while their owners are away. It also gives my pup the chance to socialize around the clock. Meet my pets I have a healthy, happy, active 4 year old male Boston Terrier. He gets along well with most dogs, and really enjoys having play pals. About my yard I do not have a backyard, however, this doesn't hamper physical activity and recreation.

Vanessa is so great. Makes our dog feel that he is welcomed and makes us feel comfortable with leaving him. She offers extra services but isn’t pushy about it.

Vanessa made this a great experience. We were very pleased with the communication while we were away and how well she took care of our Peppy. We’d definitely recommend her to everyone.

Vanessa was so extremely accommodating for our little Mia. She understands dogs through and through. I hope to only use her while we are in NY moving forward. Thank you!

Information Vanessa A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference, however, there are some breed restrictions due to apartment policy. Maximum weight allowed is 40 lbs. I like to be informed as to any concerns, specific instructions or routines. Is the pooch house-broken. Are there aggression issues with other dogs or people. Are there any behavioral issues. Are there any health issues, and is he/she up to date on vaccines, and flea preventatives. (Please be up to date)

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There are beautiful, grassy parks in my area. These parks are where I prefer to take the pups out to stretch their paws. It provides a lot of open space away from the hustle and bustle of traffic for fun and exercise. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If your fur baby is accustomed to sleeping in your bedroom with you or in another room outside the bedroom, I will accommodate this. I will locate their crate/carrier or bed, which you can provide, in the desired location. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home so I am able to give your fur baby plenty of 1-on-1 time with me. Be it indoor or outdoor fun and recreation.
