Information Vanessa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs! I’m more than happy to tailor the care for your precious pup to ensure they are in great hands and loved & cared for during their time with me. Please also let me know if your pup is friendly with small dogs as I have a ~20 pound pup of my own.

A typical day

I love playing with the dogs - whether that’s indoors with toys or outdoors playing fetch. If you’d like me to take your pup to the dog park, there is a very clean and well maintained one near my home.

Pet care experience

With over a decade of experience caring for friends and family members pets (from cats to puppies to senior pups) as well as my own, I’ve honed in on my skills to ensure every pet is safe, happy and loved and that each pet has their unique specific needs met. I currently have a mini schnauzer puppy & have experience with training by utilizing positive reinforcement. If you wish to board your pup, Boba (my pup) is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs while being respectful to elder pups. My care plans are tailored pending the pet’s needs - from special dietary restrictions, exercise routines and medical needs. I’m more than happy to share updates and photos/videos of your pet during my care upon request. I’m open to reoccurring walks/drop-ins as well!

Vanessa was very communicative and gave lots of updates throughout the day, which I appreciated. My pup had such a fun time playing with hers. I highly recommend her!

Vanessa took such great care of our pup Penny! She was communicative and sent regular updates throughout the stay, including plenty of photos and videos. Vanessa’s pup Boba is also so sweet and was a great playmate for Penny. Will definitely be trusting her to watch Penny again in the future!!
