Ratings and reviews
Vanessa is truly a blessing to our family. I was able to relax and travel without a single worry about our baby getting the same spoiled care he gets at home. She never complained about all his odd demand's. He was loved and safe from drop off to pick up. Thank you for giving my baby a vacation he loved.

Vanessa was wonderful with Willow. And Willow looked happy and relaxed in every photo Vanessa sent. I will definitely use her again.

This is our second time booking with Vanessa and we will never use anyone else. Our pups are so well taken care of and it’s so obvious how much they love her! Can never say enough good things about Vanessa!! The babies already can’t wait for their next visit!!


We are relaxed on vacation knowing that Vanessa is loving and caring for Zues.

We have no words for how incredible booking with Vanessa was. Our puppies were so loved and taken care of. We never had to worry once, got lots of pictures, and we felt so at east on our trip knowing our babies were so happy. I know they miss and love Vanessa so much. We are endlessly grateful.


Miley loved staying with Vanessa. We were very happy with her care!

Schedule
I took early retirement, which means my routines are very open and flexible. I prefer to provide care in my home. It is currently pet-free, so your pet would get my complete attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 5-acre property in East Brainerd with a fenced-in side yard, a large dog-friendly home, and a great walkable neighborhood. There is a vet office 5 minutes from my home, and I keep toys and treats well-stocked.
A typical day
Walks, playtime, park visits, car rides, naps in sun spots, treats and fun meals. If your pup wants to do it, I will make it happen!
