Dogs bring joy to my soul♥️

Pet care experience

Your pups safety, health, and happiness are my priorities when they are left in my care. I love walking, and playing with them in the back yard, inside or at a dog park near by. I am able to handle more than one dog at a time. I have fostered older dogs that needed care before and I do have some training experience with both puppies and adults.

Vanessa is great! She’s great with communication and sends lots of updates. We know that Kaylo is comfortable and safe when he stays with her. You can tell how much she cares about the dogs and it puts our minds at ease! Thank you!!

Vanessa is my favorite dog sitter :) my girls get excited when they see we’re getting into her neighborhood and she’s so good with both of them.

I live in a gated apartment, however we do have an open field right next door. I have a full grown Toy Aussie and a 2 month old German Shepherd to keep your dog(s) active (and tired) with them! Boarding and Day Care, I do require for male dogs to be neutered since my Aussie is not able to be spayed yet. Your dogs will be with me or crated if I have to leave. That being said, crate trained pups are *requested* (not required) for boarding unless they are house trained and okay being left out and alone. In house visits, drop ins, etc. are all okay with however many dogs, no matter the size OR breed you have! If you would like my pup(s) to burn energy with your *friendly* dogs, let me know and I can accommodate to that and we can do a meet and greet for all of the pups’ comfort! ☺️

Information Vanessa G. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the pups routine and the training they have, although, puppies are a different story haha. I have a puppy of my own who is very friendly and very high energy. I also have no breed preferences or restrictions, I love all breeds. I do need to know how they are with other people/dogs, what your preferences are with dog parks and meeting new dogs whether it’s on purpose or on accident. Any aggressive or submissive behaviors and especially their tells for how they’re feeling in certain moments/scenarios.

A typical day

There is a huge field behind my apartment complex that I walk my pups around and it absolutely wipes them out haha. I do like to go to a big dog park near me so if you are comfortable with it and your pup is comfortable with me, we will go on an adventure there. If they are not comfortable at the park after slowly integrating them, I will walk them along the path that goes around the entire park so they can get in some exercise before heading back. My pups love everyone and every animal, they will absolutely wear out your pups energy.

I am currently working from home, part-time. So I do have extra time that allows me to be able to take care of your dogs. I have two of my own, both super sweet and they love making new friends, if that is allowed!
