Information Vanessa L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any issues/behaviours your dog tends to have. I'd rather know honestly beforehand than be surprised in the moment. Also any medical issues that we should be aware of.

A typical day

Dogs are like us -- they need to be stimulated to be happy! Love heading into the woods for walks, meeting other pooches, smelling all the smells. Training/puzzles to keep pups busy, learning, and engaged. And then some good quality snuggles on the couch!

Former dog mom here to love yours!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I used to have 2 dogs (whippets!) of my own, but since my lifestyle doesn’t currently allow me to have dogs again quite yet, I would love to babysit, walk, snuggle, and play with yours! Lots of experience walking dogs (up to 2 at a time), playing ball in the field, feeding, administering medication, senior dogs and puppies, even showing dogs! Yeah, I’m dog crazy. My partner and I live in Westhill Place (dog friendly condos) surrounded by forest trails. Available for weekend sits if your pup doesn’t love being home alone (whole weekend or just a couple hours) — we can work out a fair price. Contact me and we can arrange a meet and greet outside. Look forward to hearing from you!!

Vanessa was a great caregiver for our energetic Welsh Springer. She was also great at communicating with us and pup came home calm and happy! We appreciate it so much!
