Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Techie w/ friendly Aussie 🐶
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.

Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was an amazing host - from pick up to drop off, she was thorough in her updates and took such great care of my dog. I was in the middle of moving to SF and really had peace of mind while navigating logistics thanks to Vanessa. 10/10 would recommend!
Vanessa always takes such great care of our dog, and she comes back happy, highly recommend and plan to continue leaving our pup with Vanessa whenever we leave town!
Vanessa took very well care of Shadow. She was able to earn Shadows trust and appreciation. Which can be difficult at times for others to obtain. We are very happy of the care she provided and how helpful she was to continue administrating his daily medication. Will definitely book again with her and would recommend her to anyone with a pet with separation anxiety that might need special care and lots of patience like mine did. Thank you very much Vanessa and Kenzo :)
Vanessa took excellent care of my senior lab Aspen, was very communicative and always shared updates. Would highly recommend and looking forward to booking again!
Vanessa did an amazing job caring for our sick dog, Otto, while we were away. She was incredibly responsive and friendly, and kept us regularly updated on how Otto was doing. Her dog was great too, and she made everything easy to schedule and organize. We felt like Otto was in great hands!
Vanessa took really good care of our dog Kulfi! He seemed to really like her. She sent updates and photos throughout the boarding and was curious about Kulfi’s care instructions. Would definitely rebook again!

Schedule
I work remotely in tech sales, which means I have a super flexible schedule, perfect for giving dogs the love, walks, and attention they deserve throughout the day!

Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.

- 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.
