I retired from banking and with my husband live on our small farm in the country. We built what we call the dog arena for exercising our personal dogs and I intend to use it to also exercise my clients dogs. I am available most weekends and week days. I was working a part time job at a doggie daycare but recently decided that I would prefer to be home with my pups and yours!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in exercise area. I have gates in my home so I can gradually introduce our dogs or can keep them separate depending on individual needs.

Information Vanessa L. would like to know about your pet
I would want to do a meet and greet before scheduling your dog for boarding or daycare. I will need to know if your pet has any specific needs, I need to see to. Also it’s always good to give me an outline of their routine at home so I can try to follow their schedules somewhat. Schedule early because openings will be limited so I can concentrate on your dog having a fun, safe time away from home!
A typical day
We have a lot of land for long walks including a large fenced arena. I have a herding ball and some agility equipment up there and it’s an awesome place to play fetch or tug. I plan to allow my clients to use my arena when they want to. I have many toys for your dog to supervise play with and I also have dog puzzles and a flirt pile for them to play with. In summer months, we will have a small pool for them to play in!

Your Dog Deserves A Vacation Too!
Pet care experience
I have over forty years of dog experience. I bred German Shepherd’s for fifteen years. I have taken obedience, agility, and Nose work from local professional trainers and have done puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced obedience with three of my dogs. I also worked for 1.5 years at a doggie daycare in Utica. I want to do my doggie daycare on a small scale so your pet receives individual attention. I have seen places doing 25- 50 dogs with only one or two people watching them and I feel there is a great need for care on a much smaller scale. So here I am!
Reviews
Great first day care visit for my pup with Vanessa and her great family of dogs. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!
Vanessa took great care of our Lady, a 6 month old berner pup. She worked with her on tricks and socializing with the other dogs while allowing her to play outside in the snow and taking really good care of her. Would love to have her dog sit for us again and Lady would agree
Sweetie Pie, our Sheltie has stayed with Vanessa multiple times when we have been on vacation or in emergencies. Vanessa's love of animals is evident in your every interaction with her. She is reliable, communicates well, and is very responsible. You can clearly see her extensive experience with animals and dogs in particular. Sweetie Pie loved staying with her and being part of the household of dogs when there. Sweetie always got the VIP treatment when staying with Vanessa. The outside fenced-in play arena is great for a dog that needs a little more exercise.
