Give Your Pup the Care They Deserve

I have had dogs my whole life, from Rottweilers to Yorkies, and I understand how different each breed can be. I also worked at Healthy Hound Playground in Sterling, where I received extensive training in dog safety and handling. This experience helps me give your dog reliable, attentive, and knowledgeable care every time.

Salto seemed to enjoy his babysitter! The first meeting went very well, and we left with peace of mind! Excellent communication and photos were provided during the babysitting session. We highly recommend Vanessa for your childcare needs!

Vanessa is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She treats every animal like her own, pays close attention to their needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve seen her handle so many dogs and cats and her love for them is truly amazing you can see how much she genuinely cares.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. I am a part-time student and work part-time, but I still have plenty of free time on certain weekdays and weekends. If you need care, just let me know the days and times you are looking for, and I will do my best to make it work.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my first priority. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of anything that could put a pet at risk. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I pay close attention to doors, gates, and any potential hazards. I follow all care instructions closely and keep a calm, organized space so every pet stays safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I can help with basic puppy training, take dogs on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch or tug-of-war, explore parks, give attention, and ensure fun and safety.

It’s important to know your pet’s behavior, medical needs, allergies, favorite toys, feeding schedule, comfort with strangers, energy level, and any triggers before caring for them.
