Pet care experience

Extreme dog lover 🐾

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, from 5 pounds to over 100 pounds, and I truly love dogs in all shapes and forms. I’m very attentive, responsible, and always focused on a dog’s safety and well-being. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live in a ground-floor brownstone with access to a private backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy fresh air. I’m also close to local parks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout their stay. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind.

I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog, Ricky Bobby, and I am so happy I found her. What really set her apart was how communicative she was. She constantly sent me updates, including photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was always quick to respond whenever I reached out, and she was incredibly accommodating, even helping me out when I was in a pinch. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!!

Vanessa is the absolute best, she treated my furbabies like her own. She sent consistent communication throughout the day with pictures and videos. My puppies absolutely adored her and spending time with her fur family as well! They had a blast. I highly recommend Vanessa you will not be disappointed! 10 out 10 stars!

I’ve known Vanessa for over four years now and can attest to her being one of the most genuine, caring and responsible person that I know. She’s super reliable, will take really good care of your pet(s) and she goes above and beyond in all aspects of her life! Would recommend like crazy!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home on a couple of businesses. Wanted the company of a dog so thought this would be a great way to do that. I’m flexible to go on long walks during the day and can play with them while I’m working at home.
