Highly, highly recommend Vanessa! This was my dogs 2nd time staying with her and I had not a worry in the world. Vanessa consistently updated me and treated Scarlett with such love and care. Scarlett loved her stay and will be back again for another!

Vanessa has watched Button numerous times and always has a great time there. Vanessa is great with communication and our dog is always excited to see her when we drop her off. I highly recommend Vanessa!

This was our third time leaving Willow with Vanessa. She’s always our top pick when we go away and need someone to watch her! Highly recommend.
