Pet care experience

I have always had animals growing up since I was about 7. I’ve had birds, turtles, and dogs. I love all kinds of animals and consider them my child just with four legs. The dogs I currently have are cared for, loved and spoiled. Family and friends has relied on me to take care of their pets while they were away or at work. I am also a foster mom for about 9 months now.

Vanessa really helped me out of a bind! Not only did she take my last minute request, but when my flight got delayed she kept my pup for another night. I'm extremely appreciative.

Really happy I found Vanessa. She was available last minute for a an Overnight stay and took very good care of our 1 year old beagle girl. When she came home she was so tired and worn-out from playing. I could tell she wasn’t just in her crate the entire time. Vanessa kept me updated with videos and pictures during her stay. We will definitely continue bringing our pup to her.

Arya had a blast with Vanessa, and I could totally tell from all the pics Vanessa sent my way. Vanessa did great taking care of my Arya for a solid 10 days. Not once did I stress about Arya being safe—nope, not one bit! Vanessa kept me in the loop every single day, sending me texts with updates and tons of snapshots. She walked Arya, let her zoom around the yard, and even threw her some playdates with her own pack of pups. You could just feel Arya was havin’ the time of her life while we were away. Next time, I’m handing over my pup to Vanessa without a second thought ‘cause she’s super responsible and treated Arya like royalty. Big thanks, Vanessa—you’re a gem! 🐾✨
