Information Vanessa J. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know how your dog typically spends their day! Meal times/exercise levels/nap times/potty breaks etc. Please bring whatever will make your dog the most comfortable such as their bedding (if staying overnight), their treats and toys etc..

A typical day

When out for walks, dogs in my care are kept on their leash at all times. I will also not feed your dog anything other than the food that you provide. (I can supply dog treats if approved by you!)

Vanessa is amazing! She regularly updated us on how our dog was doing, and sent beautiful pictures of their adventures together. She gave our dog her full attention while in her care. I don’t think our dog wanted to come home! A very loving caregiver and I can confidently recommend her. Will definitely be booking her again.

I highly recommend this lovely lady. She is professional, kind, and punctual. I knew Vanessa was a good fit because my dog loved her instantly. We are so happy to have found Vanessa!

Vanessa was fantastic with Nova! Terrific communication both in the lead-up and while she was looking after her, lots of pics, and generally took great care of our girl :)

Vanessa is clearly a dog lover. She was great at communicating and took excellent care of our whippet. Our dog is normally shy, but took an immediate liking to Vanessa. She sent (gorgeous) pictures and updates periodically. Will DEFINITELG book with her again. Highly recommend. Thank you Vanessa!
