Vanessa is wonderful with dogs. She is loving and cares deeply about their enrichment. She plays fetch and does some light training at every opportunity (having pups sit or stay before getting treats or food, having dogs wait for you to go through a door before the pup is invited outside, other manners). She also takes my dogs on walks so that they are happy and tired at the end of the day. She is calm around excited dogs, which leads to the dogs also calming down. She also provides extra care to my senior dog, making sure he has comfy blankets and is eating/drinking consistently and monitoring his health. My dogs love her!! She is also responsible and communicative, and I love getting pupdates on how the dogs are doing.
