Hi! I’m Vanessa — a dedicated pet care professional with hands-on experience in both veterinary and grooming settings, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and comfort so I can provide attentive, personalized care for every pup. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Geoffrey is my trusted backup who assists with feedings, outdoor breaks, and keeping routines consistent, while Johanna is our additional backup caregiver experienced with small pups and seniors, helping with drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting so every pet receives reliable, loving care at all times.

Once again Vanessa did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. Trust worthy, good communication, and flexible. It’s so nice to leave town and know our fur kids are safe with her care. THANK YOU!

Really sweet family LenaNina had great time. She was there for a couple of days and they always sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date. Very quick to respond. They have a very nice backyard space and indoor daycare area. I totally recommend.

Boarding • Aug 10, 2026

This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them again.

Schedule

My schedule is structured around the dogs in my care, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a steady routine throughout the day. Daycare runs from 7am–7pm, and I offer 24-hour boarding. Pets are rarely left alone—someone is always home (myself or Geoffrey), and if we ever step out briefly, the home is monitored to ensure safety and peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets stay in a dedicated, home-based pup room where they can safely roam and relax. The space includes a sofa, a couch, beds, and even a TV to create a calm, home-like environment. Dogs are free to move between the pup room and the main home, giving them added comfort and flexibility. I limit boarding to up to 4 dogs at a time to ensure exclusive supervision and personalized care. The space is climate-controlled, well-ventilated, and air-purified, and it’s cleaned daily using pet-safe products. I also use hypoallergenic detergent for all blankets and bedding to help prevent irritation. Playpens and crates are available for dogs who prefer quiet time. Meals can be refrigerated if needed, and I provide high-quality, human-grade treats. Outside, there’s a fully fenced yard with two separate sections—a larger and a smaller area—so dogs can be safely grouped or rotated for supervised play.

A typical day

A typical day is structured around a balance of play, enrichment, and rest. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime in the yard, rotation between groups when needed, and free movement between the pup room and main home. I incorporate mental stimulation with toys, games, and new scents, along with calm downtime on the couch or beds. Feeding times are kept consistent, and routines are tailored to each dog’s needs to keep them comfortable, engaged, and stress-free throughout the day.

Please let me know if your dog has boarded in a home setting before and whether they are crate trained and house trained. I also like to know how they do around other dogs—whether they’re social or prefer their own space. Please share any history of anxiety, reactivity, fighting, or biting (no judgment, just for safety), as well as any issues with excessive barking or chewing. It’s also helpful to know if they’re nervous around men, as Geoff occasionally helps with care. Please provide your dog’s food and any medications needed so I can keep their routine consistent
