I like to be close to the pets hence a dog bed in each room! Every hour I take a break to interact and incorporate some play time. Since I work remotely, I can work from anywhere. I work well with dogs that pull on walks, senior dogs, anti-social dogs, and hyperactive pups!

Information Vanessa F. would like to know about your pet

Please be as thorough as possible upon our first encounter from then on, I’ll have it all memorized. Things like: Time of walks Time of feedings How much food Do they have a sensitive tummy How often can they have treats Do they pull on walks Do they get along with other dogs Are they sensitive to rainstorms/thunder Do they bark or howl unprovoked

A typical day

There’s a park thats not too far from my place. Its a nice quiet neighborhood so walking/jogging around town is an option too. The beach is 1/2 mile from me incase you have some sand/ocean lovers! I have a bunch of toys and treats here to keep your pupper engaged all day.

Pet care experience

Ive been a pet owner since I was a kid. Love to spoil pets with cuddles, pets and treats (treat responsibly). My skill seems to be with dogs that have separation anxiety from their owners!

Vanessa is sweet and kind to our pups Violette and Rockey. She is professional and take them on nice long walks., she also was very kind to me as a customer and came on the last minute which I normally do not do. Thank you so much Vanessa for helping us tonight.

Vanessa was a phenomenal sitter. She sent us updates every day and we were in easy contact with her while away. It’s honestly so daunting leaving your pets anytime you have to go away but knowing Vanessa was caring for them put me at ease. Knowing she was there allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation.

Vanessa was fantastic! It was my first time using this app and she was very patient and understanding with me and all my questions. Absolutely loved all the pictures and video she sent me. My dogs couldn’t look any happier. Highly recommended!
