Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Vanessa and I love all the dogs! I've had dogs most of my life, from puppies to seniors and am currently the proud mama to 2 pugs, Garak (7) and Darmok (5). I have recently taken vet tech courses and am comfortable with all kinds of dogs. I can also help your dog with some basic training! I will work hard to earn your dog's trust to ensure they feel comfortable during their stay. *Follow us on Instagram to get a behind the scenes look into our adventures! @two_pugz Available to respond to new requests from 8am - 8pm.
Reviews
Left my dog with Vanessa while I was out of town and she was very happy running around the yard and playing with the pugs. I always feel at ease when I leave my dog in Vanessa's care.
Vanessa is awesome. Our pup is very anxious when we go out of town. Vanessa takes the extra time to make her feel comfortable. I really appreciate the pictures and daily updates on how Phoebe is doing and quick response when I send Vanessa a question through the app.
Vanessa takes fantastic care of our dogs when we are away. We appreciate having such a caring dog sitter so we can relax on vacation and not have to worry about our dogs!
Thanks Vanessa, Phoebe seems to enjoy your place.
About Vanessa C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My house is 1 story, has very few stairs, and has a fenced in yard. My yard backs up to a large open field, and there are several walking trails surrounding. There is plenty of wildlife in the area, from bunnies, to deer, to groundhogs, so your dog will find many smells during their walks! In the summer, I can supply a kiddie pool, sprinkler, and a shady cot for your pup. All outdoor playtime is supervised! My pugs are both fully vaccinated and current on flea/tick & heartworm preventatives. They are pretty active and love playing with other dogs.
Home
Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog will require any medications, or has special behavioral issues that I should be aware of (i.e. separation anxiety, marking, leash reactivity etc). I would also like to know your dog's routine, so I can try to keep it the same during their stay. Does your dog know any common commands or tricks? Do they play Fetch or any other special games? Let me know what they are so we can work on them/ play during their stay! Be as detailed as possible with their care instructions and please be ready to present current vaccination records for your pet! Please provide accurate drop-off and pickup times (30 minute window), as this will allow me to adjust my schedule to provide the best care for your pup! Daycare pricing includes up to a 10 hour stay during normal business hours. For daycare longer than 10 hours or outside of normal business hours, my boarding rate will apply. Unable to accept same day requests from new clients. Currently accepting bookings up to 90 days in advance! Dropoff/ Pickup times must be between: 8am-9pm unless previously discussed. *Please note that dropoff/ pickup times are appointments- I plan my schedule around these times and cannot always accommodate sudden changes in plans. If you need to make a last minute adjustment to any dropoff/pickup times please wait for confirmation before heading over.
A typical day
Pups enjoy walks along local trails, where they will see many trees/ plants, and squirrels, bunnies and deer. Dogs can play fetch or chase tennis balls outside, and enjoy a dip in the kiddie pool when it's hot! Pet parents can also expect many cute photos of their pups if they like!
Services
Vanessa can host
Availability
I work part time from home and only do boarding & daycare so your pups will have lots of attention throughout the day. I also limit the number of dogs in my care so your pup will have a stress-free environment to relax in. I am happy to provide walks or outdoor time every 2-4 hours, or more often if requested.
