Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets like they’re part my own! I'll do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfy, and totally loved. I try to stick to their usual routine: meals, meds, walk times, because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. My goal is to make them feel like they’re on a fun little staycation, not sad while their humans are away! If it is a puppy, I do require a crate for when I step out to work out or while they sleep. And a stain + oder spray incase of accidents.

Information Vanessa F. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for any dog, I mainly like to know about any triggers, allergies, and whether they tend to get into things they shouldn't. I also like to learn about their routine, energy level, and any quirks that help them feel comfortable. The more I know about your pup, the better I can make sure they have a safe, fun, and stress-free stay while you're away.

A typical day

We'll start the day with a long walk to the park (usually Crane Cove or China Basin Park) so your dog can get some exercise, sniff around, and burn off some energy. Throughout the day, they'll get at least 4 potty breaks and plenty of attention. We'll mostly just hang out together during the day, go on walks, play fetch, and do whatever your dog enjoys. Whether that's playing, exploring, or just relaxing, they'll get lots of attention.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and now have a 5 yr old Aussie who keeps me on my toes! I love being around dogs. I know how much pets mean to their parents, and I'll make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away.

Vanessa took great care of our pup! Communication was fast and clear, she kept us updated with photos, and she was very easy to coordinate with. Our dog came home happy. Would highly recommend booking with her and plan to leave our dog with her again next time we’re out of town!

Vanessa was great! Took good care of Hudson and sent plenty of updates. Hudson came home happy and tired!

Vanessa is awesome! I can tell my dog loves hanging out with her. Her dog is also very sweet and mellow, so I always know my dog has a canine buddy around when he stays with Vanessa. I highly recommend her.
