Pet care experience
I love dogs and have been lucky to have pets growing up! I have my own dog, a Samoyed named Luna, that is a huge part of our family. I live with my 5 year old, 3 year old and husband. So I am currently watching dogs that are children friendly. Our family will treat your dog like family! I have flexible time in my schedule on weekends and holiday breaks. I know the importance of having someone you can trust with your dear pet. It is good for you to know that I am a teacher at a public school and I have had all background checks and fingerprinting done. I am friendly, organized and reliable :). I like to keep owners connected and will take pictures and videos to bring you peace of mind!
Reviews
Leila loves Vanessa and she’s always so happy when she spends some days there. Vanessa is absolutely amazing with her.
Vanessa and her family were fantastic with Bo! I constantly received daily updates and photos/videos. She communicated with me often how Bo was adapting and eating and getting around since he is a mature dog with arthritis and can tend to limp when up and about often. I knew he would be well taken care of from the initial meetup. Very happy to have met Vanessa and will gladly return!
Vanessa was wonderful and I couldn’t have been happier with our stay with her. Looking forward to our next visit.
Vanessa was amazing with my dog Duffy for a week while I was away! She kept me constantly updated and really cared for Duffy. Her love of dogs and kindness is evident and I so appreciated the peace of mind it gave me knowing Duffy was being taken care of by a loving family!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a clean home with no smoking. My house gets cleaned biweekly by professionals. I have a 6 foot PVC fence enclosing my backyard and plenty of space for play and exercise. *I have an in-ground swimming pool (not fenced) that the dogs have access to. I also have cameras outdoors and indoors.
Home
Information Vanessa M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the things that bring the dog joy and things that might make them wary. Every dog has its preferences and I would like to make them feel comfortable and have them trust me. I also need to make sure that your dog is kid friendly and up to date on all vaccines! My daughters are very careful with our dog Luna and treat her with respect and give her space, but I need to ensure their safety as well. As precaution: I cannot watch dogs that are possessive of food/toys or show aggression. Thank you!
A typical day
I will follow any directions and preferences left for me. I can take your dog for a walk or jog. I can play fetch or provide your dog with plenty of love and cuddle. Whatever your dog enjoys, sounds good to my family and me!
