Pet care experience

Love is an open “doggy” door

Animals have been in my life for as long as I can remember! I have a deep rooted appreciation for all animals, as well as reptiles. I have personally cared for and fostered many dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits & reptiles throughout my life. I have over fifteen years of experience administering medication to pets and assisting pets with disabilities. Just a few of those disabilities include Diabetes and blindness. I truly know how much these animals must mean to you, as they mean the world to me! I promise to do my utmost in looking after them with the care and respect they deserve.

Vanessa is immediately a member of the family! She cares for your fur babies like her own. We are so happy to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Whenever we travel we always reach out to Vanessa first, she is the greatest! So sweet and caring and always goes above and beyond! Our family really feels at ease when she is watching our dog.

My dogs have not loved a sitter as much as Vanessa! She takes so many pictures and makes sure your babies are well hydrated 💗

Vanessa has been wonderful with our puppy! She has been taking care of her on a weekly basis for drop-in visits, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She follows our care instructions closely, is very communicative, and always gives us peace of mind knowing our puppy is in great hands. As a fellow puppy owner, Vanessa understands all the little things that come with caring for a young puppy, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely continue using her if we weren’t moving out of the area. We highly recommend Vanessa! 🐾

While my dogs are very easy, sometimes they can be a little picky. Not with Vanessa! Both pups LOVED her from the moment they met. Vanessa had an amazing meet and greet and even better first visit. Definitely found a keeper with her!

If they have any specific circumstances that may make them uncomfortable (loud noises, cars, etc) it is important to specify with me please and tell me what could increase their stress! Any routines, dietary needs, past aggression, or known allergies please tell me in advance so I can do my best to avoid any issues and/ or potential injury to your pet. Thank you
