Safety, trust & environment

I’ve learned that each pet is unique. For each new pet, I do a meet and greet to ensure we are both comfortable with each other. I happily go on walks full of sniffs, allow them time for frequent potty breaks, and if they’re looking to play, we play! Their safety is my priority. I am more than comfortable applying your house rules with your pet as well, such as if you crate them before leaving.

Information Vanessa D. would like to know about your pet

Communication is so important to me! Before our visit, I like to gather helpful information about your dog’s habits, routines, and needs to ensure they have a smooth, stress-free experience.

A typical day

I’m all about making sure your dog has the best time possible! Whether that means playing fetch, going on adventures, relaxing with cuddles, or burning energy with active playtime, I love creating a fun and safe environment tailored to each pup.

Pet care experience

Growing up to today, I’ve worked with several puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats! Previously, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters before adopting a dog. Each pet has it’s own personality and I can’t wait to learn more about yours!

Vanessa is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know, and animals naturally gravitate toward them. Whether it’s going on walks, keeping pets active and comfortable, or simply giving them attention and affection, they genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like their own. She is dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, which gives a lot of peace of mind when trusting someone with your pet. I’ve seen firsthand how patient and attentive they are, and I know they would go above and beyond to make sure any pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter or walker would be in great hands.
