I have a full-time job, but have a hybrid schedule. I work from home most of the time and only go into the office a couple times a month. I would, of course, communicate that with my clients if trying to book on a day that I'll be going into the office. Because I mainly work from home, it gives me a lot more opportunity to spend time with your pet, take them out for regular potty breaks, and play/interact with them. Or if they're more of a lounger, they can hangout on the couch or any of the doggy beds around my home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and have multiple dogs, all different sizes, as well as cats. My dogs will be crated while your baby stays with me to give my client peace of mind, however if your dog is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs then it'll be a puppy party! My yard is fully fenced and I have both grass and a dirt area, lots of toys and tugs for your pet.

Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, medical issues, behavioral problems, food sensitivities, etc so that I can plan accordingly and take extra precautions to ensure the safety of your pet.

A typical day

I love fulfilling dogs needs, both physically and mentally. I have plenty of toys for every dogs liking and even have a spring pole in my backyard. There is a dog park nearby if that's something your dog enjoys. I also have many ways to mentally stimulate your dog, such as lick mats, kongs, snuffle mats, etc. Anything your dog finds fulfilling, I'm pretty sure I have!

Lots of love for your fur babies!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals my entire life. Aside from my own pets growing up, I was always the neighborhood sitter for both human babies and fur babies! I adore animals, all shapes, colors, sizes and breeds. If they have four paws, I automatically adore them! I spend every day off giving undivided attention to my pets. Whether it's taking them out on multiple walks during the day, car rides, hikes or just spending the day lounging around playing fetch. I treat every animal that I am entrusted with exactly as if they were my own. I do not take the faith and trust that clients put in me lightly. I understand these are cherished family members and treat them as such. Whether I have them for a few hours or a few days they will get love and attention 24/7. I don't have any children of my own so my fur babies are literally my world. I am also a dog trainer. I have several clients that can provide references and am a firm believer in continuing education. I have been mentoring under world renowned dog trainer, Jonas Black, for over a year now. Contact me if you'd like to know anything else about me or if you'd wish to stop by and see where your babies would be staying. I'm an open book!

Rogy enjoyed his walk with Vanessa. She was prompt for the meet and greet and his walk and was very communicative.
