Pet care experience

Pups under 35 lbs welcome!

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I have experience with dogs for over 30 years and 19 years as a dog sitter. I provide 24-hour supervision overnight, daycare and walking services. I am a pet parent to one gentle terrier who is very friendly with other dogs. I would treat yours with the same love and respect in which I treat my own. PLEASE NOTE: I can only accommodate dogs up to 35lbs. and can not accommodate puppies under 1 year. My place is small and cozy with an enclosed patio and a large backyard for your dog to run, play and enjoy the sun. I am a dedicated dog sitter and animal lover that has worked with a variety of canine breeds (French Bulldogs to rescued mixed breeds) and am available for in home, overnight care and daily walks. My goal is to provide safe, reliable pet care at reasonable rates with impeccable customer service. UCLA grad and reference available upon request.

Vanessa was really great to work with and took excellent care of our pup for a few days when we were out of town. She was communicative, available when she said she'd be, and sent great photos and updates while we were gone. We would absolutely choose to hire her again when we need someone to care for our doggo.

Vanessa is excellent - we have a very shy dog and she did a great job of taking care of her and keeping us posted with updates and photos. Great first experience, we will for sure book again.

Vanessa always takes amazing care of Apollo! This is his second stay with her and he was so happy to see her when he arrived. I got cute updates of him everyday playing with all his new friends he made there at her place. I will definitely book again and 100% recommend Vanessa!

We will happily ask Vanessa to watch our dog, Luna, again. Luna is very sweet, but anxious, and Vanessa did a great job making her feel at home as well as keeping us updated with photos and notes on how things were going throughout our trip.

Vanessa was so great! She kept me updated while I was away and Roscoe came back a very happy boy. Will definitely be back!

I like to know in advance of any allergies, feeding styles, separation anxiety tendencies, or quirks so I can prepare to keep your pup as comfortable as possible during their stay. ***Please have your pup on an effective flea control treatment.*** This is very important. If you do not have your pup on flea treatment, we ask that you do when your pup visits.
