Pet care experience

Will love them like my own!

There is nothing I love more than caring for and being with animals. My husband and I are both home full time in our single level home in Goodyear. We have been sitting dogs for almost ten years now, and also do doggie daycare and drop ins for dogs and cats. We have experience with all breeds, large and small, seniors, special needs and administering meds. We have three dogs (all are seniors) who love company and get along with every 2 and 4-legged they have met. We also have 5 cats - who keep to themselves and are very used to dogs. We have a free for all home - the animals are allowed on the couches, beds and wherever else they would like! My husband is retired and I work from home so we are always home caring for our animals and any guests. We have no children. We enjoy spending time with our pet family! We always have an eye on any animals in our home and yard. The yard is fenced and we go outside with them for all their potty breaks.

Vanessa and David were amazing. They cared for our dog Lucy just like she was their own. We were only gone two days but received many updates and pictures of her living her best life and enjoying her stay. If you live in Estrella Mountain Ranch I highly recommend Vanessa and David for your pet sitting needs!

Doggy Day Care • Oct 15, 2023

Vanessa and David took good care of my dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving them overnight and for doggie daycare. I'm so glad I found them on Rover.

Vanessa and David did a great job watching our two dogs. They sent pictures and texts to let us know the dogs were doing well. They are very nice and personable, and provide a clean and organized home for our pups. It was a comfort for us knowing our Ellie and Fifi were taken care of so well, plus being kept indoors during this extremely hot July in Arizona this year. We will definitely use them again!

Boarding • Jul 21, 2023

We've used Vanessa & David to do check-ins two summers ago with our 2 older dogs that have since passed away. This is our 2nd review & time we used them. This time though it was boarding at their home for 9 days with our 1.5-year-old standard poodle who is very alert. They have a very nice, organized, well-kept home (inside & out) & have certain doors closed off, gates up (inside & out) so all dogs are kept safe whether they are eating, sleeping, etc. They have a couple small dogs of their own & take care of other people's dogs too. So, our dog socialized with different types & sizes of dogs. We felt very safe & secure knowing & trusting our dog in their loving care. Hands down - 5 stars!

Vanessa & David were so great with our senior pup. They came over before our trip to meet me and are very sweet. Everything went well and I highly recommend them!

Schedule

My husband is retired and I dedicate my days to sitting animals in our home so we are always around. We have three senior dogs who need to go outside every few hours too so there's never an issue for us to be able to adopt to your pets' needs!

Safety, trust & environment

We are home with our animals and any we sit. We don’t use kennels or crates (unless instructed to do so by an owner). We care for and watch each dog as if they were our own. Two of our pups are blind and almost blind so we always go outside with them. Our yard is also securely fenced.

Pets

A typical day

We live in a very quiet and walkable neighborhood with sidewalks, so if it’s not too hot we will go for walks around our neighborhood. Otherwise we are likely hanging out inside on the couch!
