Pet care experience

Reliable and friendly dog walker

I don’t have any animal myself, but I had dogs, bunnies and cats growing up. I’ve been a dog & cat sitter for my family and friends for the last 13 years. I do however have two young daughters so if you decide to leave your dog/cat under my care, they must be kid-friendly. I enjoy taking long walks and I’d love to take your pet along! I often volunteer to go walk with friends who have multiple dogs, so I’m used to it! I’ve walked with big dogs who have lots of energy or others that were a little unsure with having others dogs around. I work part-time so I’m free some days of the week, evenings & weekends. If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

Vanessa and her family gave me daily updates on Vasi’s stay. She seemed to be enjoying herself with them.

This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter, and the whole process was honestly so easy and stress free. Vanessa was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and even took the time to meet up beforehand so my dog could meet her family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. She was amazing with communication from start to finish and was so loving and caring with Joey. I got lots of updates and pictures while I was away, which I really appreciated. Vanessa is a fantastic dog caregiver and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup.

Schedule

I’m currently working part-time so I’m available some days of the week, evenings and weekends. I’m a teacher so I have summers off. My husband works for the Edmonton fire department so between our two work schedules, we’re often two adults at home.

Please, let me know if your dog takes medications or has health conditions. I will be honest with you if I feel like another sitter would be a better fit.
