Love is an open “doggy” door

Pet care experience

Animals have been in my life for as long as I can remember, I have a deep rooted appreciation for all animals and reptiles. I have personally cared for and fostered many dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits & reptiles throughout my life. I have experience administering medication to pets and assisting pets with disabilities including, Blindness, Deaf, dementia, and diabetes. I know how much these animals must mean to you as they mean to me, and I promise to look after them with the upmost care and respect that is possible.

Vanessa performed drop in visits for a couple of weeks to break up my pups days. They loved her visits and play time. She made sure their water bowls were full and they were settled before her departure. She provided plenty of pics of her visits. Highly recommend and will use again.

Vanessa has been absolutely amazing for our pets and family! She saved the day and made it possible for us to go on a family trip even though she normally doesn’t service our area. She was so loving and caring to all of our pets and made sure to communicate with me. She was kind and knowledgeable. She was reliable and truly allowed for us to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in safe and happy hands. Will definitely be reaching out to Vanessa any time we need help with our pets. Thank you Vanessa! You’re amazing!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing. Vanessa instantly responded back when I messaged her. She went above and beyond and took the best care of our pup. She sent so many pictures and was so great at communicating. We came home to one happy dog all thanks to Vanessa!!

Vanessa took such great care of my two cats!! I really appreciated getting to meet her before leaving my girls in her care. Vanessa had great communication and took many photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Vanessa and plan to contact her again for future pet sitting! Thank you!!

Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet

If they have any specific things that scare or make them uncomfortable (loud noises, cars, etc) it is important to specify and tell me what may cause stress, and how to calm them down. Any routines, strict diets, certain rules, past aggression, or any allergies please tell me so we can avoid any issues and possible injuries to my or your animals.

A typical day

Depending on each pet’s age, ability, and activity level, it can really be a wide range and variety of activities. From playing with some of their favorite toys, throwing around the frisbee and/or ball, or just extra walks and physical attention. I have no issues going to dog parks with any animals upon request, this service costs a $10 gas coverage fee, so please think and plan ahead before requesting. But typically the neighborhood or surrounding areas are just fine and will work best for drop in visits.

I currently am self employed and our kids are in school full time so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I can come by either early morning, mid-day, late afternoons or in the later evenings. I’m also available on most weekends, including holidays. I am now also boarding animals at our home if we have space available!
