Pet care experience

Hello. My name is Vanessa and I am a huge dog lover. I don’t see dogs as pets but more like family members. I’ve had 10+ years experience dogsiting for some friends dogs ranging from teacup Yorkies to Pitbulls. I have also been a dog owner to Rottweilers, American Eskimos and Shih-tzus. I don’t mind giving references if you need them to verify my work. I am a very sweet energetic and responsible person who promises to care for your dogs as best as I can and give them all my love as if they were my own. I take my responsibilities very serious and promise to follow any guidelines given to me and to keep your dogs safe. I am also willing to care for any other pets you have in the home. Being in the presense of dogs is a wonderful feeling and I will do anything in my power to make them feel comfortable and loved while you are away. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful furry friends.

Vanessa did an amazing job looking after my senior dogs in my home while I was away for several days. She sent me daily updates and pictures so I knew my dogs were well taken care of. She also left my apartment clean.

This was our first time working with Vanessa and there were a few kinks to work out over text during her stay (getting into our apartment/timing, communication and check-in frequency) but after day 1 it was super smooth! She sent great pictures of our pets (a cat and dog) and they clearly enjoyed having her there with them. It was nice for us to know they had someone caring for them when we were gone! Our apartment was also clean and organized when we got back.

Vanessa was great with our pets! We booked her multiple times. She took care of the pets additional medication needs and attended to their various quirks. She was very helpful and worked with our schedule. We'll surely book with her again if she's available!

Very disappointed in her service. Left most nights for 8+ hours after promising she would only be gone during the day for work. Saturday evening, she left at 3 pm and returned at midnight. It was raining, so she didn't take my dog out till 9 am the next morning! 18 HOURS! my dog was supposed to get meds at a specific time, but she wasn't here at those times. Additionally, when I got home, my dog's water was FILTHY. Bowl hadn't been washed out or changed.....just added to. So angry.
