Trustworthy Pet Sitter/Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

Hello there pet parents my name is Vanessa Jimenez, I have grown up around dogs all my life and have gained a great amount of experience with them, from owning and training dogs. I would love to care for your furry family members, and make a great relationship with them as well by providing the best care for your best friend. I did work as a dog trainer with my Doberman Samson. Samson was my demo dog for my clients, therefore he is properly trained and socialized. I would love to care for your pets and hope you feel I could be a perfect fit.

We are so grateful for Vanessa's help pet and house sitting for us while we were out of the state! Everything went great and Vanessa kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout our time away. We appreciate her transparency and all the love she gave to our pups during their visit. They enjoyed walks and playtime, punctual meals / meds and a few treats, and some good cuddles---exactly what they needed! We highly recommend Vanessa to other pet parents and will look forward to booking with her again in the future.

This was our third time booking with Vanessa, and we couldn't be happier. Our cat absolutely adores her, and seeing how well she treats our 'little man' gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled, and her 100% professional approach makes the whole process seamless. We trust her implicitly with our little dude!

Thank you for such great pictures and making me feel more comfortable leaving her and having you check in on her. She looks like she’s having a blast. Vanessa is a excellent communicator.
