Active Sitter, Big Nature Fan

Pet care experience

I’ve been raised around dogs my whole life of all kinds so I am very comfortable with furry goofs, young and old. I spend a lot of time outside and it’s always nice to have others to join in on the fun:) I am a recent graduate taking a gap year so my schedule is very flexible and open. If you have any questions just let me know and I’m sure we can work something out! I live near lots of parks, not too far from the river and the lakefront trail, perfect for walks and runs. My home is dog friendly and I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and a great pack leader for younger dogs. She’s mature enough to be calm around other animals but also young enough to have fun so it’s a good balance. I love dogs so they will definitely get plenty of love and attention.

Vanessa, is a nurturing and caring pet owner. She herself has had many pets in her lifetime. She currently has a free roam rabbit she cares for and her faithful dog Zelda. She has always been very passionate about her animals and treats them with respect and cares for them deeply. She spends several hours a day walking and caring for her dog and is very energetic. She would be an ideal candidate to care for your family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone in a studio apartment with my dog Z. We live in Ravenswood which is a great residential dog-friendly area. There are always other dogs around which makes it great for socialization and plenty of parks which make for great access to green space. Although I have a dog, and she is very dog friendly I am okay with not introducing to clients dogs if that is a concern. Again, just communicate what you’re looking for and we can work it out:)

Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but if your dog has an anxieties or struggles being around other dogs I would like to know that. Also, anything you guys may be training on so I can be aware to not reinforce unwanted behaviors.

A typical day

I really enjoy the lake trail for the space to explore and scenery. I’m also an avid biker and skater so that is something I am also open to doing with your dog if you’re looking to burn some of their excess energy. My dog loves it and it works every time!
