Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet
Before any stay, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care and make them feel comfortable and safe. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, favorite activities, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, and how they interact with people or other animals. I also appreciate knowing any special commands, behavioral quirks, or comfort items that help them feel at home. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their experience fun, stress-free, and personalized!
A typical day
I love making sure every dog has a fun, active, and enriching stay! Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy activities like walks around the neighborhood, fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, cuddle time, and plenty of play breaks throughout the day. I also enjoy practicing basic commands and rewarding good behavior with positive reinforcement. For social and adventurous pups, we can explore parks and new walking routes, while calmer dogs can enjoy relaxing companionship and gentle play. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, loved, and excited while you’re away!

Reviews
Vanessa did a great day care for our Australian Shepherd. Our dog was happy and content at the end of the day and enjoyed mixing with the other dogs in Vanessa’s care.
Vanessa was incredibly attentive and caring with my dog from the very beginning. She treated my pup as if it were her own, making sure every need was met with patience, love, and genuine compassion. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Vanessa kept me updated, paid close attention to details, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about animals.
Here’s a polished review you can use: Vanessa did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about making sure our pup was happy and comfortable the entire time. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog absolutely loved her and came home relaxed, happy, and well cared for. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
