Deaf mom that has fenced yard home

Pet care experience

I am hard of hearing that know sign language. I was born in Brazil but have lived in America since I was 7 years old. I am currently a full time stay at home mom and a University of Lafayette Louisiana Chemistry graduate. I own 1 rescue rat terrier dog Mickey from Petco adoption agency. I have had Mickey for 8 years. I am dog lover so I do spend time with him and play with him outside and train him with sign language tricks. I have petsit couple of my friends dogs occasionally and I have never had problems with any of them. They all come in different sizes and breeds. I guarantee you that your pets will have a lot fun and will be safe with me. I’m at home full time unless I have errands to run or appointments so I’m able to give full attention on your pets and they will have full access to fenced yard at all times. I treat pets like children. There will be toys for them to play with, a lot of freedom to go outside and play. I have dog gate door so the pets will be able to come and go as they please for potty or to soak up the sun. They will always have access to water.

This was our first stay with Vanessa. She was Fantastic with our fur babies! From pictures, videos sent and feedback we got. Dak, Taco, & Hanna had such a great time and slept great after they got home. Thank you for taking care of our crew. We will definitely book with Vanessa again.

Vanessa was absolutely incredible. She sent me messages and photos daily to let me know my dogs were happy and doing well. I will definitely trust leaving my dogs in her care in the future.

I was very nervous to leave my new puppy (who has some separation anxiety) with a stranger. Vanessa was so nice and was willing to meet prior to daycare. She was able to accommodate an early drop off time (0600) so I could make it to my job at the hospital. She was so loving towards my puppy and sent many photos and videos during the day, significantly improving my trust in her ability to care for my puppy. My pup also was able to play with her sweet dog and her child! Will be returning😊.

Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog bite, be aware of any surprise behaviors and if it is potty trained. Please inform me if your pet chew things around the house so I can protect my furnitures. Thank you.

A typical day

I will play ball fetch, let the dogs run wild in my fenced backyard and socialize with my rat terrier Mickey if owners are comfortable with it.
