Dog-lover, guarantees happy dogs!

Pet care experience

As a child, my family & I were home socialization volunteers with puppies from guiding eyes for the blind. We boarded 2 puppies almost monthly for years, introducing them to new sights and sounds in a home environment. It's one of my favorite memories from childhood, and what started my love for dogs! 3 years ago I found and adopted a pregnant street pup, Patchouli, while living in Israel. Working with multiple trainers, and because she had a lot of behavioral and trust issues, I trained her myself & after she gave birth, I made sure all the puppies went to good homes! Patchouli made me a hardcore dog-person and I fell in love with dogs because of all that she taught me about them. Let me fall in love with your dog as well :)

Vanessa was great and responsive. Amelia came home relaxed and tired. Couldn't ask for more.

Vanessa was great, she arrived at our house and cared for our three dogs as we anticipated. We recommend and will use Vanessa for house sitting again.

Vanessa sent several updates and pictures during Otis’s stay and when I picked him up he seemed calm and comfortable. He clearly enjoyed his night with her and she must have been entertaining because he’s been sleeping since we got home! Otis can’t wait to go back and see Vanessa again soon!

Vanessa is a wonderful pet sitter and we highly recommend her. She kept our pup happy and entertained, and also sent us many pictures throughout the day. She is kind, respectful, and knowledgeable about dogs. We highly recommend Vanessa and plan to have her pet sit for us in the future.
