Pet care experience
Cool, Child-Free Doggy Aunt :P
Think of me as the cool aunt who skipped kids (dogs) because #broke and now has so much pent up love to give to your fur babies! Through high school/ college I raised a mini poodle named Teddy who now lives back home with my mom <3 I was a personal assistant for 1.5 years where my duties included walking/ feeding a poodle and a mini poodle 2-3 times a day, 5x/week. I would also house/ pet sit, and take dogs to grooming appointments. I have also done pet check-ins for friends over the years! I have most experience with 1-2 dogs at a time, and with smaller to medium sized dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My schedule allows for me to helicopter parent your dog if you want me to! I can spend as little or as much time as you need, and I can work pretty well with your current feeding/ walking schedule to reduce stress on your dog. I can send you frequent updates (including cute pics) and take care of some household tasks if it makes sense to! (I am a Capricorn)
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa was very communicative and responsive to me and was very attentive to my pets. She gave me daily pictures and updates. I felt confident the entire time that I was away that my pets were in good hands. I would highly recommend booking Vanessa!
Vanessa took wonderful care of our dog Marty. She not only walked and played with our high energy pit bull enough to tire her out (a big feat!), but took the time to work on training Marty around better leash habits and other important things. Marty’s behavior and overall demeanor was always better after time with Vanessa. Would recommend!
Vanessa was amazing. She consistently showed up right on time and sent updates throughout the walk, which I really appreciated. My dog absolutely loved her, you can tell she’s genuinely good with animals and loves them. Would definitely book her again!
The best caregiver I could’ve had! I have a German shepherd with a lot of energy and needs and she amazingly handled the time with my dog with ease’s would highly recommend and any pet owner would be lucky to have her.
I had two German Shepherds, and Vanessa was amazing with both of them. She was responsible, caring, and dependable, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dogs whenever I needed help. I definitely recommend her!

Schedule
I work from home 9-5 M-F, so I have a very flexible schedule :) I can do overnights no problem, and I can also do prolonged stays if you wouldn’t mind me using your dining table to take a couple work meetings on my laptop here n there!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsVanessa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I do not have experience with senior/ special needs pets but I am really good at learning quickly! If it’s medications that require injections/ needles, I don’t think I am fit for that. Oral and topical, yes! I am best with small to medium sized dogs, but I am sturdy and can handle your gentle giants as well <3
