Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated former dog parent 🐶❤️
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and has volunteered with animal shelters since childhood. As a former dog mom to my late min pin, I’m experienced with managing anxious or reactive dogs, oral medications, food allergies, and other special needs. I adore all pets, but have a soft spot for seniors and little guys. 🐕 I’m conveniently located between Back Bay & South End and WFH full-time.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was incredible! She was so kind and communicative and Fitz came home happy. I’d definitely recommend her!

Vanessa and Michael have cared for our 14-year-old cockapoo, Quincy, for a few months now. They are incredibly communicative, attentive to Quincy's needs, and very sweet with him. Quincy loves going to be with them and always comes home happy. For us, it was great to know that they had experience with older dogs, as Quincy has a complex medical history. Quincy typically spends a few days a week with Vanessa and Michael and we hope to continue that for a while!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take care of every animal as if they were my own and follow owner instructions to a tee. In my home, I have stairs if an animal needs assistance getting on the bed or couch and have a crate that comfortably fits medium sized dogs or smaller. I do live up several flights of stairs, so please let me know if your pet would need to be carried down for walks.
A typical day
I’m excited to match your current dog’s routine so they feel right at home! If they’re active and social, I can bring them to nearby dog parks or if they’re homebodies I’m happy to give them lots of blankets and hang out together on the couch.
