Safety, trust & environment

I love taking care of pets in their own home, they're more comfortable that way. I like to keep their routine as close to the same as when you're home with them. If plans have to change, I'm great at adapting, but in my current living situation, I cannot care for your pet in my home. Unless it was a small reptile or rodent; or other creature that lives in a terrarium or enclosure.

Information Vanessa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I prefer medium to large dogs, I am comfortable with e collars, so long as you tell me how you like them to be used with your dog!

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the beach! There's a beautiful park nearby with both beach and shady grass for your pup to run around in! My car has great ac, I'm happy to take your dog for a ride if needed! Would love to play with your pet at your home or outside, whatever is most comfortable for you! Typical walks are about an hour, not including travel time.

Pet care experience

Currently only taking care of pets who can be left alone during a normal work schedule. I work 6a-2p Tues-Sat. If you send a request after 930pm, I won't get it until 430 the next morning. I've had pets my whole life up until a couple years ago. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, all kinds! I'm so sad I can't have a pet where I live, so this is as much for me as it is for you! I'll care for your pet as if it were my own. While I don't have any specialized skills, I do have time, patience, and treats! I have lots of experience walking dogs, can handle two medium to large dogs at a time. I've had cats for at least 30 of my 39 years on this planet, they are my favorite creature, hands down.

Vanessa is great! We met before needing care for our cat and she was so kind; my cat immediately took to her! She provided great communication while I was away including pictures and details about my cat. Highly recommend booking Vanessa!
