Pet care experience
MUST BE CAT FRIENDLY! I have owned dogs and cats for over 9 years. I especially adore to play with dogs and treat them with the utmost care and love! As an active person, I can even run with your dog to give them an extra work out. I also have a lot of experience with cats, and currently have a cat at home that is gentle and calm. We’d love to welcome in any of your feline family members too! Since our home is heavily carpeted we would prefer if your furry friend is potty trained to prevent any costly accidents!
Reviews
Our first experience with Vanessa was great
Vanessa did an amazing job with our pup Monty. We were so anxious about leaving him for the first time with someone we didn’t know and for a full week but she was so kind and great at communicating with us and Monty ended up having a wonderful time at her house. We will definitely book with her again any time we have to go out of town and leave the dog behind. We know he will be taken care of with so much love and attentiveness.
Vanessa was kind and considerate. Provided updates about Benny’s well being and took him to the park to play.
Vanessa was great! I am a procrastinator and only booked boarding the morning of (a couple hours before drop off). Vanessa was quick in replies to make that possible and accommodating.

All pets have full range of the household, including the bedroom, if they are friendly with cats. We leave the balcony open most of the day for pets to get fresh air and lounge under the warm sun, with constant supervision.

Information Vanessa D. would like to know about your pet
1) Do they get along with other animals, especially cats? 2) Do they have all their vaccinations up to date? 3) Are they fully potty trained? If not, what is their level of potty training? (I may not accept non-potty trained pups!) 4) Do they have any behavioral training? 5) Do they have any medical conditions I must be aware of? If so, will I need to administer any medication you provide?
A typical day
Everyday, I take all my lovely pup guests for a walk at least 3 times a day, usually about 4 times. In the morning, I take them for a potty break around my community as soon as I wake up, letting them take their time to ensure they are comfortable by the time we get back. I work for a few hours, with frequent play breaks in between for your beloved pet, and take them for another walk around 1-12PM. From then, I wait until around 3-4PM and then promptly walk them to my community’s private dog park, as this is usually prime playtime for all the dogs in the neighborhood! There, they get to interact and run around freely with other lovely pups, allowing them to burn plenty of energy while having a blast. I also make sure to play and interact with them whenever they’re not busy with other furry friends, usually playing fetch or tug of war. I make sure to stay for at least 2 hours to make sure they get the best experience! Once we are home, I will wait until 8-9PM to take them on their final walk, to ensure they are ready to have a peaceful sleep. They are allowed to sleep anywhere they please, including our furniture and bed, as long as they are amicable to our cat. Throughout the day I make sure to feed them and give them plenty of water as per any given instructions, to ensure they maintain their usual routine and have the best experience possible.

Availability
I work from home, so your pet will never be lonely and I am available most days of the week after 2PM. For daycare, pets will need to be picked up by 8:30pm WED-SAT, no exceptions. I make sure to take a minimum 2hr break to bring pups to the dog park after 3pm, or play with kitty guests. I also ensure that all pups get at least a short walk or quick potty break every 2-4hrs. All dogs get at least 3 long walks a day.
