Quality and Kindhearted Petsitter!

Pet care experience

I work in the non-profit sector and have a passion for creating a safe and nurturing environment. I’ve always had a heart for animals, have volunteered for animal rescues and have grown up with dogs being members of the family. If you are looking for someone to give your dog a caring, comfortable and loving home alway from home then I’m your person! I’ve house sat, babysat and have dog sat for members of the community as well! My friends would say I’m reliable, trustworthy and treat their pups like my own when they are in my care.

This was our second time using Vanessa to take care of our beloved pup, Barley, and we plan to use her again and again. Barley was comfortable and well loved. We know because she often sent us photos and videos, which were always fun to receive. Communication is very easy with Vanessa, and I love how she was able to accommodate our drop-off time and pick-up times with some flexibility. Barley happen to be staying with Vanessa during the cold front that came through Texas, and she even dressed him up before his walks and went to buy him a winter pup coat! There are not many people I would trust to leave my dog with for over a week, but Vanessa is one of them. She truly cares, and your pets are in excellent hands!

Vanessa is the best dog sitter. She is a great communicator and a wonderful person. You can tell she really loves dogs too.

I cannot say enough great things about Vanessa and her husband! Our dog, Barley, is a unique, sensitive pup who needs tons of affection and a calm environment. Vanessa was able to accommodate his needs and always kept us up-to-date with great photos and videos. I could tell he was truly happy with them. While I might have been nervous to have Barley stay in an apartment for over a week (he loves to run and play outside), I was so impressed with their place. There were tons of dog parks built right into their complex (all very private), and lots of sidewalks and open spaces to go for walks and runs. Barley got 3, 4 and sometimes even 5 walks a day, which I know he absolutely loved! If you're nervous about leaving your dog while you go out of town, look no further, Vanessa is a top notch caregiver! You simply can't go wrong!

Vanessa and Luke were wonderful as usual with Archie! He loves going over and always comes back tired and happy. We’ll definitely be going back to them!

I’m currently on a hybrid schedule. I typically go into my office on Wednesdays, but have the ability to work from home on all other week days. I start my mornings off by prioritizing the dog’s walk schedule and feeding schedule. I thrive on routine and make sure to provide my dog (and will do the same with yours) with the attention, exercise and quality time.
