Where Anxious Owners Find Peace 💖

“I was so anxious to leave him — he was literally in the best hands possible.” That’s from a real review. It’s also exactly what I’m here for. 🙌 I work from home full-time, so there’s no moment your dog is alone wondering where everyone went. They roam freely through a calm, dog-proofed apartment — no crates, low furniture, bed stairs, toys everywhere. Just one family at a time, max 2 dogs, alongside my dachshund. I have 3 years of vet school and a lifetime with dogs, including experience with high-energy, senior, and medicated pups. I send updates constantly. I notice the small things. Dogs leave here happy. Some don’t want to go home. If you’re the type of owner who needs to really trust someone — let’s talk 💖

Vanessa is a great sitter. My dog was safe and comfortable and I received regular photo and the cutest video updates. Her dog is very friendly as well. I recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa was SO beyond amazing and took care of my dog so much. She sent me updates so so often and really cared for him like her own. I was so anxious and nervous to leave him but he was literally in the best hands possible. She’s AMAZING!

The. Best! Thank you so much for always being such a loving and attentive sitter to my babies. Vanessa takes such care of the pups even when they needed different oral meds, it was so comforting to know how on top of it all you were and kept me updated the entire time. Thank you!

Vanessa was amazing with my two weenie babies!!! Right from the start, I could tell she was super down to earth and my babies would love her. She was super nice and sent me lots of pics while I was away. When I picked them up, the boys were super happy and looked like they had a great time. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! ☺️

Pepper had an amazing time with Vanessa, Mario and their dog. What a great experience it was. I was totally comfortable from the first minute that this was going to be a good week for pepper, and a worry- free week for me. Completely recommend Vanessa's place. Pepper can't wait to go back!

I do not have high furniture, so no problems with jumping especially because I have my wiener dog. My house is dog-proof, so nothing dangerous around them. My bed is pretty low and I have stairs for them.

A typical day

I wake up at 7 am, take my wiener for a 20 minutes walk, then work until 11 am, then another walk, then work until 3 pm, and take them for another walk.
