Pet care experience

Hi my name is Vanessa. I love dogs, they are one of my favorite animals. They show us exactly who they are while allowing us to be our true authentic selves. I live in Issaquah Highlands with my husband, two boys and our dog Bilbo. We love our neighborhood because of how quiet, peaceful and safe it is to raise a family. I would love to take care of your fur babies and give them the love and respect they all deserve.

Vanessa is awesome. She was so loving with Riley and sent pictures and updates throughout. As soon as I met her I could tell that she would take great care... extremely warm and kind. I felt totally comfortable with her as Riley's sitter!

We had a wonderful experience! Vanessa took great care of our furry baby, sent regular pictures and updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her!

Vanessa is amazing. She is patient, flexible and very pleasant to work with. My dog Charlie truly enjoys going to her place, he literally sprints to her house as soon as I get him out of the car. Vanessa is communicative, I get pictures and updates throughout the day and a summary at the end of the day. I highly recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was kind, patient, and attentive throughout the entire stay. Our dog can be quite the velcro dog, and Vanessa handled the clinginess with grace and understanding. Communication was excellent—she sent frequent photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had some unexpected potty accidents during the stay, which we know can be frustrating. We appreciate Vanessa bringing this to our attention and managing the situation as best she could. It’s helped us recognize that our dog may need some additional support when staying in new environments. She has a beautiful family and two adorable kids who clearly love animals. We could tell our dog was in a warm, caring environment. We’d absolutely book with Vanessa again and recommend her to other dog owners!
