Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog bite, be aware of any surprise behaviors and if it is potty trained. Please inform me if your pet chew things around the house so I can protect my furnitures. Thank you.

A typical day

I will play ball fetch, let the dogs run wild in my fenced backyard and socialize with my rat terrier Mickey if owners are comfortable with it.

Deaf mom that has fenced yard home

Pet care experience

I am hard of hearing that know sign language. I was born in Brazil but have lived in America since I was 7 years old. I am currently a full time stay at home mom and a University of Lafayette Louisiana Chemistry graduate. I own 1 rescue rat terrier dog Mickey from Petco adoption agency. I have had Mickey for 8 years. I am dog lover so I do spend time with him and play with him outside and train him with sign language tricks. I have petsit couple of my friends dogs occasionally and I have never had problems with any of them. They all come in different sizes and breeds. I guarantee you that your pets will have a lot fun and will be safe with me. I’m at home full time unless I have errands to run or appointments so I’m able to give full attention on your pets and they will have full access to fenced yard at all times. I treat pets like children. There will be toys for them to play with, a lot of freedom to go outside and play. I have dog gate door so the pets will be able to come and go as they please for potty or to soak up the sun. They will always have access to water.

I’m so happy with how well taken care of my dogs were. I had never left my dogs for an extended period and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for them. All of the pictures and videos that I received definitely made it easier to be away; and in every picture and video, they had the biggest smiles on their faces. I’m so grateful for everything that was done for them and all of the extra love they got!

Five stars. Vanessa watched my dog Diesel last weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received. She followed his routine, sent daily photos, and kept me in the loop the whole time. Diesel came back happy and relaxed—highly recommend Vanessa for dog-sitting.
