Safety, trust & environment

I have an unfenced potty area in my front yard. I take my dog on walks at the various lakes in the area almost daily. I also have steps leading up to my house that are unfortunately unavoidable. Besides my dog, have three cats in my home that have had lots of experience with different dogs and cats visiting us. I have had some experience in kennel training and have a few extra kennels if needed. I also have experience in medication administration through personal experience and working in a vet office.

Information Vanessa G. would like to know about your pet

Just give me a heads up if your dog isn’t friendly with other critters! I can make accommodations for walking, but for boarding your pup will have to be okay with other critters in the house!

A typical day

I love to take your dogs on walks around the neighborhood or a nearby trail. I also have a variety of dog puzzles that keep pups entertained. I also have a dog who absolutely loves to play with other dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve had extensive training and experience in caring for a variety of animals. I have a degree in Anthrozoology from Carroll College and have had animals all of my life. I have experience in caring for senior animals as well. I have Pitbull mix fur baby and three cats of my own, all of which have lots of experience with different critters visiting our home! My crew and I have also fostered many animals in the past. I have previously been an Equine Specialist for two psychiatric treatment facilities, one which also included caring part time for a residential certified therapy dog.

Vanessa did an outstanding job with my dog Diana!! Vanessa was punctual, friendly and professional! My dog took to her immediately and she felt safe and happy with her! The walk went great and we will be calling on Vanessa again in the future for regular weekly walks!!
