Availability
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.

About Vanessa & Geoffrey & Johanna R.

Dog skills
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.
Home
Information Vanessa & Geoffrey & Johanna R. would like to know about your pet
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
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.

Reviews
Ginger loved every moment with Vanessa!!
There’s no one else we trust staying with our newfs! Vanessa is the best - our dogs love her and they’re always so happy. She sends daily updates and we appreciate her so much!
Vanessa and Geoff took great care of our dog. Benson enjoyed his stay and all the walks and playtime! We received regular updates and pictures. Thank you!
My two fur girls had a great time and were happy and tired when I picked them up! The sitters also accepted an unconventional pickup time to accommodate my travel and work schedule.
