Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or preferences your dog has that I will need to account for (feeding etc). For the safety of all involved, I can only accept non aggressive, non reactive dogs who get along well with other dogs and people.

A typical day

Most dogs love to be mentally stimulated through games activities, playtime and walks. Your dogs will experience all of this in our home, our fully fenced backyard and daily walks in the neighborhood or at our local dog park. When at the dog park, I can accommodate either on or off leash walks depending on your preference and your dogs recall.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Vanessa. My family and I are serious dog lovers. I have been walking / looking after dogs in my home for about 8 years and can provide many great references. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages including puppies and senior dogs. We have a beautiful and super friendly Yellow Labrador Retriever named Bella who would love to play with your pup and keep them company during their stay. With a house full of dog toys, comfy dog beds, daily walks and a fully fenced backyard to play in, your dog will feel right at home and have a wonderful vacay while you are away. Pet parents will receive photos and videos throughout the duration of their pet's stay so you can rest assured that your pet is having a wonderful time and is being well cared for. My goal is to give your pet all the love, care and attention that they would receive at home to give you the peace of mind to enjoy your time away worry free!

Vanessa is always amazing. We did another overnight, and Mazy came back happy, tired, and well cared for.

I know our dogs will be happy and well cared for at Vanessa's. We still come back to board them here even though we moved out of town

Lexi and Mac loved their time with Vanessa and playing with other dogs. Vanessa has a great disposition with the dogs and you can tell she loves her job. There was lots of outdoor play and walks and indoor stimulation too and rest if needed. We highly recommend and we will use Vanessa again when needed.

Amazing sitter!!! Vanessa is wonderful, caring and professional. She provides daily pictures of Koa. I could see that Koa is having a vacation of a lifetime with Bella and other furry friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you Vanessa 🤩 We will see you again and again 😁
