Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet

It’s very important to me to know what kind of food dietary, medications, or if your dog has any allergies or special needs because these things are so important to point out to me before I start any walks, drop in visits, or if your dog is staying over with me. Thank you!

A typical day

Dogs are individuals, as are people. I would ask the owners what kinds of activities, games their dog enjoys, and go along with those. I know dogs love nice long walks in parks or trails, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs that I taken care of really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on my lap, being scratched and stroked. It honestly all lies on the owner because they know them the best!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets.
