I’m currently coaching volleyball part time so I’m typically free most of the time. The longest I typically would have to leave your dog alone is for 2.5 hours when I have a couple coaching sessions.

Pet care experience

I am flexible with all my services, including house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I have several years’ experience with dog walking and house sitting (including drop-in style), and I am an athlete so I have the physical strength necessary to handle large dogs. I am currently a professional volleyball player so while I’m not overseas I really enjoy leaving space in my schedule to dog sit! I have completed an internship position at a wildlife rehabilitation facility (WildNorth) and have a degree in conservation biology, so I am very passionate about animals! Growing up with multiple pets, I learned early on how to appreciate and handle them. I have also raised and trained a puppy myself, and I’m an amateur training enthusiast. I would love to meet your pet and I hope you consider me for your pet care needs!

I would recommend Vanessa, 3days before I left my home was in a disaster due to construction that need to be completed before I left for holidays. Vanessa jumped with no complaints about some of my last minute home change. I received pictures and updates on the dogs time with Vanessa. Sassy was happy on my return and had not left my side except to look for Vanessa. I truly believe she was treated very kindly and introduced to experienced I could not have given her,
