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.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2026

Vanessa was a fantastic sitter. I felt like the pups were very well cared for while we were away. They stayed on their regular breakfast and dinner schedule, their water bowls were kept clean, and they received their treats and vitamins as expected. We received close to 50 pics in a weekend span so communication was great. The house was also very well taken care of. Everything looked tidy and clean when we returned, the sheets had been stripped, and I didn’t notice anything amiss. Most importantly, the pups seemed to do really well with Vanessa. They can be very temperamental, and even something as simple as a bad grooming appointment can throw them off for a few days. When we got home, they were excited to see us but otherwise seemed completely happy and themselves, which says a lot. Overall, it was clear that both the pups and the house were in great hands with Vanessa. This coming from an extreme helicopter pup dad

Vanessa is truly the best. She is such a kind and acting person. Vanessa communicated consistently throughout her time caring for our dog, she also goes above and beyond in the little details!

Vanessa did a great job watching our dogs and really went above and beyond when a freak storm rolled through and knocked out the power at our house for over nine hours! She was an absolute trooper and kept our dogs comfortable and happy through it all. That level of dedication and care really exemplifies the level of care she provides her customers and its why we continue to trust her to watch our dogs when we go on vacation.

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
