I like dogs more than people!

Pet care experience

I’m not afraid to get down and dirty rolling around with the pooch, I’m also not afraid to be gentle and loving to a young pup learning or a scared fur baby. I volunteer at two dog rescues, I’ve also worked at numerous dog facilities from the age of 18. Some include petsmart, Petco, bestfriends, holiday house pet resort, and camp bow wow. I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid so much so that I choose to work with animals instead of what I’ve went to school for I’m an ex firefighter and an ex emt. I own two rescue dogs of my own and nothing makes me happier. Feeding? No prob medicating? No prob playing in the mud? No prob quick bath? (If I’m hired by you most times I do them for free. Cats too!)No prob! I also like cats so cat owners don’t shy away I have enough cuddles and love to give for everyone! PLEASE don’t let my stern face throw you off once I see an animal I’m all smiles and love! Ps I use to be a groomer and can offer great tips if your having trouble or need nails clipped! Start your day off with a smile ?

Vanessa is amazing. I have 3 dogs and one is severely special needs. She had no problem taking care of any of them and I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. They are so happy to see her and I know they are always in good hands.

I’m not one for words and I usually don’t do things like this but Vanessa is a sweet girl I was off put for a second when I first saw her I was in a clinch and my ex told me his friend was great with animals and I had a feisty puppy, I was expecting a little sweet girl and saw this tattooed girl walking down my driveway I know I sound judgemental BUT WOW she was sooo sweet and immediately got down to kiss all over my puppy. I even had pet mice and she said ow I can clean and feed them for free if you need. Long story short I LOVE HER SHES SO AMAZING AND HELPFUL!!

Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

How do you handle negative behaviors if any so that I may keep up with your training techniques? How do you reward positive behaviors? Are there any allergies,health or skin issues that I need to keep an eye on? Does your dog have any quirks (aggressive sounding barking but for play, leash/collar aggressive, accidentally bites fingers when playing, pulls on walks, high prey drive, aggressive to other animals, needs to be walked on muzzle or special harness)? Are there any trigger or guarding words I should avoid using? If there are any words (different language) that your dog responds to will you be willing to leave a list and listen to me so that I may pronounce them correctly? Does your dog get anxious when you are not around? Does your dog have a bite history? Is there anything your dog reacts to negatively?

A typical day

I will not allow dogs to stay with me until I completely remodel my basement to be a fun and relaxing area for dogs seeing as I have two rescues.
