Vanessa did a great job with our little Munchkin. We came back to a happy bet which is always better than the other possibility. Thanks Vanessa!

Vanessa is so kind and attentive to our dogs. They never bark at her and greet her with a wagging tail. Vanessa is very caring and we are so happy we found her to help us with our dogs.

I have known Vanessa since we were 12 years old and one of the most enduring qualities about her, besides her trustworthiness, is her love of animals. I do not think I know anybody else who cares and nurtures their pets as well as she does. I know her to be a responsible pet owner, who is consistent with feeding times, grooming appointments, vet appointments, and playdates at the doggy park. Vanessa is great at following directions and pays attention to the details. Additionally, she is a very safe driver. She is very attentive to her own pets, as I am sure she will be with other people’s pets. Any animal that has an interaction with her is sure to come away with a positive regard for her and humans in general.
