Vanessa can care for
Availability
I work during the day, so I'm currently available for dog walking and pet care on weekday evenings and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and miss having a furry companion in my life. I look forward to using my free time to help keep pets active, happy, and well cared for.

About Vanessa D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special routines. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I believe in clear communication and will keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pet is receiving attentive and loving care.
Information Vanessa D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I'd love to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions. It's also helpful to know about their personality, any fears or anxieties, how they interact with other people and dogs, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet.
A typical day
A typical visit or walk starts with making sure your pet is comfortable and getting to know their personality and routine. Depending on their needs, we'll enjoy a walk, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention and affection. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise and companionship while sticking to the schedule and instructions provided by their owner.

Dog Lover Offering Fun Walks
Pet care experience
I've been a dog lover my entire life and had the privilege of raising my own dog from puppyhood until he was 14 years old. Throughout his life, I was actively involved in every aspect of his care, including feeding, training, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and providing extra care as he became a senior. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've looked after friends' and family members’ dogs in my home. I made sure they stayed on their normal routines by providing meals and medications on time, regular walks, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care.
Reviews
Vanessa has carefully and lovingly watched over every pet in her immediate proximity without fail. She is compulsively attentive to dogs, even ones she has no responsibility for. I think she actually loves them more than anyone else I have ever met. I have had the privilege of having her as a dog sitter for many weeks, cumulatively, and I never worried about whether my furry best friend was being adequately taken care of. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.
Vanessa has a great love for pets, and a lot of experience with several different dog breeds of various sizes. She is responsible, reliable, and caring. Taking your pet for a walk or other pet care needs would be done with care and warmth. I recommend Vanessa for pet services and know she is competent and compassionate.
Vanessa is a through and through animal lover. I trusted her to take care of my boxer Clue! She sent updates extremely often and Clue was always so happy to see her. She takes a different approach for all the dogs she walks and sits. Vanessa was especially great making sure cement wasn’t too hot for him. I couldn’t recommend more!!!
