Pet care experience

I love taking care of animals

Hi! I have always loved animals. I have had dogs my entire life since we adopted my first dog, a black lab, from the humane society when I was 5. I have also volunteered at the humane society for many years on a regular basis. I am home full time right now and my priority is giving the animals I look after the best possible care and of course lots of love! I just want them to be happy and comfortable with me. Reach out with any questions you may have.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets myself right now because I live in a small apartment so I have a lot of time and energy to care for your dogs and cats. I have cared for many of my own pets, and they lived happy, long lives. With me, you have a trustworthy, competent, and caring animal lover.

I appreciate Vanessa spending time and a walk with Allie to get to know her better before our upcoming trip. I feel they will get along just fine.

Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!

Schedule

This is my main job at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. Therefore, my number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while at home or out on a walk or hike!

Vanessa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dogs or cats have special needs or a special diet I need to be aware of. Also how often they expect to be walked or taken out and what kind of schedule they are used to on a daily basis so I can keep their routine when you are away. I would love to know if they are ok around other dogs when out walking.
