Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs, if your dog is in heat or not potty trained you must provide diapers or wraps for the duration of the stay. Let me know if your dog has destructive behavior or aggression. Please include allergy information as well. This is to keep everyone safe and keep a sanitary environment.

A typical day

I like to keep your pets stimulated as much as possible. There are plenty of balls and toys available for your fur babies to play and a large backyard to run freely.

Pet care experience

I’m a loving person who will go the extra mile for my dogs. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I dedicate most of my time taking care of pets including grooming, walking and helping them with any medication or any special needs. I provide them with a safe, clean and fun environment. I have experience with spay/neuter aftercare. I also have experience with pampered or picky dogs as well, my first dog was really picky with her food and the toys she would play with. I spend most of my time monitoring them especially puppies when they’re teething. I’d also like to mention I work with the smallest of 2lb dogs to larger breeds like golden retrievers and German shepards.

Vanessa is a very kind and caring person. I needed someone for a long stay who I knew would take good care of and love on my girls. I knew that Vanessa would. She was also so kind and caring about my own wellbeing as I recovered from surgery. It was a huge stress relief to know that my babies were in good hands. Highly recommend, Vanessa.
