Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter/dog walker
Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home. Our dog passed away and we are currently dog less.
Cat care experience
Vanessa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa and her family are terrific people and cared for our dog like she was part of the family. Will try and book with Vanessa first for all future travel!
Brody was well taken care of while I was on a last minute trip.
Vanessa was fantastic! She is clearly experienced. Our dog can be stubborn and she navigated him like a pro. She kept us updated throughout our 10 day vacation and we felt very confident he was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Vanessa.
This is the first time I had Vanessa take care of my cats. She did a great job and I hope to be able to hire her again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vanessa was fantastic. She took care of our dog, Harlem, for six days and did a wonderful job. Right away, we could tell she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She kept us updated while Harlem was with her and made sure he was always comfortable and happy. We really noticed how attentive she was to his needs. Harlem has sensitive skin, and Vanessa even bought a special spray to help him. That thoughtfulness meant a lot to us. When we picked Harlem up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind to know he was in such caring and capable hands. We would definitely book Vanessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Harlem is already looking forward to his next stay! 🐾
Dylan got sick while we were away, so happy he was in the caring hands of Vanessa!

Schedule
I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
A typical day
Follow feeding schedule. Play with their toys if they have favorites. Several walks a day. Relaxation and cuddling on the couch and just making them feel at home.
