Highlights
Pet care experience
My dog will be your dog's playmate!
He will tucker your dog out playing in the backyard and around the house. We’ll go on walks too! If your dog needs space, don’t worry—Robin knows and respects boundaries. Dogs are like family here! I’ve taken care of my own dogs, from puppies to senior care. I had my first dog for 15 years, and my new terrier is 2 years old. Whether you’re just dropping your dog off for the day while you’re at work, or they are staying overnight. I’ll take care of them with the same love and attention my own dog gets.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was great! She sent lots of pics and videos of Lola and Robin playing, and Lola was obviously very happy at her place!
Fig had a lovely time at daycare, she’s sleepy at home now from all the fun with Robbie and Vanessa. Vanessa was really easy to coordinate with and I felt very confident Fig would be well taken care of.
Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.
Finn had such a good time at Vanessa’s. He was safe and well cared for and we are very appreciative!
Finn had a great time with Vanessa. She’s very kind and easy to communicate with, and Finn appreciates her great yard. Finn had a great time with Vanessa’s dog Robin. We will definitely book again!
Vanessa is a dog-person through & through. She’s been and dog owner for over 15 years and has helped me as a dog-sitter for nearly as long. My dogs Tuula and Lillian loved spending time with Vanessa. She’s calm, attentive, attuned and loving. Vanessa is very active and understands more than any other sitter or walker I’ve met that dogs have energy and enrichment needs supersede those people. She regularly takes loooong walks (often over an hour) in the hills, which my dogs loved. Vanessa worked with a trainer to teach her dog, Robin, and extends those skills to dogs she watches. Patient, positive, and understanding of dogs’ motivations, Vanessa is the ideal person to watch anyone’s furry companion.

Schedule
I work from home, so I am available for the dogs 24/7. We can take morning, lunchtime, and evening walks or just play in the backyard, depending on your pet’s needs. My 12 lb terry is 2 years old and loves to play and relax.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs have access to the fenced backyard at any time. I do ask for pre-meeting for new clients to test your dogs temperament and weather, they’ll get along nicely with my dog. (Unfortunately folks have misrepresented their dogs in the past)

A typical day
We play in the backyard and in the house. I even work out there if the weather is nice. We go on walks around the neighborhood and to the park. And my 2-year-old Yorkie mix, Robin, is a great playmate.
