Pet care experience
As someone who grew up with two German Shepherds for over ten years, I love caring for all furry animals! Besides caring for and walking my client’s pets, I have dog- and cat-sat for friends and family in the past. About two years ago my family adopted a German Shepherd who has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency so I’ve also gained experience in managing care for pets with complex dietary and medical needs while making sure they feel loved! No animal is too big or small - I would be excited to be your pet’s next best friend!
Reviews
Mac loves to see Vannessa- he gets him plenty of play time when she’s there. We appreciate you taking such great care of hm!
Vanessa was great with Mac and flexible with our scheduling. We look forward to having her watch Mac again!
Vanessa is so lovely! She walks my pug, Mabel, regularly and Mabel adores her. She is incredibly reliable and sends great pictures and updates. I appreciate her extra effort so much and would recommend her to anyone!
Great communication while we were away. Sent lots of pictures. Took great care of our cats and our apartment.
About Vanessa B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As someone who grew up with dogs, I always observe body language and movements to make sure that the pup (or kitty) is comfortable with me approaching them or before doing any action (e.g., petting them, giving them food, walking them, taking them outside, playing with them, etc.). Taking care of your pet is an honor that I will regard with the high respect it deserves. I will make sure to follow any of your instructions or preferences when caring for your pet!
Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog has any special needs that I should be aware of! I want to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe.
A typical day
I love to play with pets - it’s a stress reliever for the both of us! I’ll make sure they get to play with their toys and go for a walk or a trip to the park. Whatever you and the pet prefers!

Availability
Throughout the weekdays, I have classes in the morning. This means I can happily play, walk, and/or visit your pet during the early or late afternoons. I can also do sittings, drop-ins, walking services, and longer visits during the weekends.
