Pet care experience

Your go to dog walker/sitter

Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m currently in college but my family has been fostering dogs since I was in middle school, so I have experience with every kind of dog from 8-week puppies to older dogs to three legged ones! I currently have 2 rescues I help take care of and train, and love volunteering at animal shelters(Chicago Canine and Wright Way) in my free time, so I have a wide variety of experiences when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it be walking one dog or bathing a van load of puppies, I love spending time with all dogs!!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with basic dog training classes, and my two dogs are both crate trained so I can follow any dogs schedule, strict or relaxed, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I also love to play with them and help them get the physical and mental stimulation they need to be happy and healthy!

Vanessa was great! Panda and Krueger took to her right away and had no issues throughout. She sent a few photos too! She was super easy to work with. I’d book her again!

Vanessa is great with all types of dogs. She cares for our feisty pitty mix & our sweet old lab. I would hire her again.
