Ill love your pet like it’s mine

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.

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.

Vanessa is so great with my dog. He gets so excited for his walks with her. I love knowing there is someone I can trust to take care of him while I’m at work. So grateful for what she does!

Vanessa was wonderful. It was so easy to coordinate key exchange and schedule with her, and she sent me photos of the boys (Charlie the dog and Cat the cat) every day while I was away. Indeed, when we got home, the boys were very happy. I recommend Vanessa highly.
