Trustworthy Dog and Cat sitter
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'd love to help take care of your fur babies while you're away. I offer drop in visits for dogs and cats in the Shalimar/Eglin/FWB area. I also offer dog boarding in my home. If you're interested in requesting to board your dog I want to be certain we are a great fit for your pup. Please see below for details: -Your dog must be ok with other dogs (I personally have 2 large dogs) -Your dog must be ok with cats (I have 1 sassy cat) I do ask your dog be comfortable in a kennel for short periods for the first day or two(Approx 4hrs max at a time,I require this for when I have to leave the house for the first few days while the dogs are still getting to know each other, I want everyone to be safe) After comfort has been established and if you normally allow your dog to free roam and prefer it, that is no problem. We love to let our pups free roam. -I do work Mon-Fri but work 5 minutes away and always come home and hour for lunch I've been working with local rescues and shelters for years walking, caring for, and fostering animals. I've also watched many pets for friends and family. I have a full privacy fenced yard. I enjoy doing drop in visits for both cats and dogs and dog walking. I also love boarding dogs in my home. I love cats and can offer drop in visits in your home for them, however I am unable to board cats in my home(our cat isn't a fan of other cats) I have a military background and understand the challenges military pet owners face. I do have Eglin base access. If you're going on an extended TDY/deployment beyond 3 weeks reach out for special pricing. * I require a meet and greet prior to any boarding confirmation to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along. The saftey and well being of your pets and mine is my #1 priority.

Reviews


Vanessa was professional, timely, took great care of our dogs and we would not hesitate to use her again.

Great service and communication as usual. Thanks a bunch!

They took wonderful care of my pup! Would definitely recommend

Vanessa was a godsend. We was looking for somewhere to put our puppy last minute when we ran across the Rover app. We liked Vanessa's profile and decided to go with her. We are so glad that we did. She was very helpful as this was our first time leaving our baby. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. She was very understanding when our puppy had accidents. We could tell our little girl had a blast while she was there with her. On a scale of 1 to 10 Vanessa is an 11!

If I'm caring for your pets in your home, I will ask your preferences. If I am boarding them, I allow animals to free roam the home while I am home. While I'm gone I generally kennel to ensure everyone's saftey since I'm not there to keep an eye on eveyone.(I can always make exceptions to this based on the dog, especially once I know eveyone is comfortable with each other) I do have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door and we will also enjoy daily walks.

Information Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any fears, behavior needs, or other special needs I need to be aware of to give them the best care. I'd also like to know about any allergies, medication, and behaviors such as digging, escape artists, and furniture chewing.
A typical day
We will enjoy playing fetch in the backyard, walks, and lots of belly rubs. (unless its a cat, they get back rubs because, lets be real what cat likes belly rubs lol)

Availability
I currently work full time during the day(Mon-Fri) , but am fortunate enough to work only a few minutes from home. I can do drop ins/walks in the morning/evenings. I also come home at lunch or could do drop in/walk during my lunch break if needed.
