I’m happy to accommodate boarding, daycare, and drop-offs or pickups as needed, and I do my best to make each pup feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home during their stay.

Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, medications, crate needs, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of ahead of time. I’d also love to know how your dog does around other dogs, since I do have my toy poodle, Stormi, in the home. The more I know about your pup’s personality and routine, the better I can make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and happy stay.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and time to relax in a calm home environment. I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally engaged with sniff walks, toys, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. If your pup enjoys the company of other dogs, Stormi can also be a sweet little playmate during their stay. My goal is to make each day feel fun, comfortable, and stress-free while your dog is with me.

Loving & Reliable Dog Sitter 🐶

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds for years, and friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pups like my own. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me.

Vanessa was terrific with our energetic little Berkly! She kept in touch daily with updates on how she was eating, getting along with other furry friends and staying active! We truly appreciated this and highly recommend Vanessa for your pet too! I will definitely use her services in the near future.

We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Luna was so well cared for during her stay. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When Luna wasn’t eating, she reached out right away to let me know and came up with a thoughtful solution that worked. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. She even told me Luna was one of the easiest dogs she’s watched, which was great to hear! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative dog sitter.
