Dogs & exotic pet care!

Pet care experience

Hi there! Feel at ease while I care for your fur babies as I have 2.5 years of experience at an exotic animal shelter and also used to work at a dog/cat veterinary clinic for 1.5 years. There is no exotic pet I will say no to and I’ve walked dogs as small as a Chihuahua to as large as an Irish Wolfhound. For pets with any health issues, I’m comfortable giving oral and/or injectable medications. Ask me about my code for $20 off your first rover booking! Animals I have experience with: - dogs/cats - parrots - chinchillas - sugar gliders - rats - ferrets - rabbits - pigs - hedgehogs - snakes - lizards - tortoises - frogs - tarantulas I have availability for walks/drop-ins during the week. I like to have my weekends off but I am flexible with accommodating the occasional dog walk or drop-in when my clients go away for the weekend or a vacation. I am always excited to greet your pets right away as soon as I come in and give them lots of love. I always arrive during the agreed time frame and never bring any guests over without your permission. I take my shoes off in your home and try to keep it as clean as possible (drying off dogs after a rainy walk, vacuuming spilled litter, cleaning up if your pet has an accident, etc.)

Vanessa was great as always with my two boys. Lots of feedback on them and how they were doing

Vanessa was punctual and communication with her was easy. Rubeus was a stubborn pup and timid of strangers, yet Vanessa managed to walk him effortlessly. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Information Vanessa P. would like to know about your pet

- Basic commands regularly used on walks - Is your dog friendly if other dogs/people approach to say hi? - Does your pet have any triggers that I should know about? - Is your pet picky with treats? Sensitivities to specific ingredients? - Is your dog food motivated? Should I be watching for things they put in their mouth on walks? - Is your dog high energy and would like to jog with me rather than walk? - Does your pet have any favourite toys we can play with? - Does your dog tend to pull on walks? If they are stubborn, any tricks to get them to walk? - Does your dog need to be fed their lunch/dinner before/after our walk? - Do you have special gear for inclement weather (rain coat/snow coat/boots/towels)? - Are you comfortable with me taking your dog to the dog park? And if so, is there any other information I should know about their behaviour and interacting with other dogs off leash?

A typical day

If your dog is very high energy and active, I love to take my client's dogs on jogs with me around their neighbourhood. If your dog prefers to walk at a slower pace, I take my time and make sure they're able to sniff every tree and fire hydrant. For drop-in visits, I give your pets lots of love whether it's playing with their favourite toy or cuddling on the couch.
