Stay at home mom dog boarding

Pet care experience

Hello Pet Parents! I had an 90 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback named Copper for 11.5 years, but he died of cancer in 2021. We miss our Copper so much! I’m wanting to help other pets feel safe, love and feel like they are at home. I love all animals and have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs. I have a Masters in Social Work, but I am currently a stay at home mom with three children in school and one at home. I am flexible and reliable to help your pet while you are away for work or vacation. Please contact me for availability.

My dog was so happy and very loved while I was gone on vacation. Zora fell in love with her kids, loved playing with them, and watching them ;) - she kind of got sad in the car as we pulled away! Will book again.

Hank was obviously well cared for and had a great time playing with Vanessa’s kids. I got pictures and updates through the stay.

We don’t board our dogs often, but we will ALWAYS go back to Vanessa when we do. One of our dogs had pretty bad anxiety being away from home, and Vanessa was so gracious and understanding about it, adapting to meet his needs. She sent us consistent updates and pictures of their stay. Our dogs are fairly energetic, and she ensured that they received plenty of exercise and attention. I would highly recommend booking with Vanessa.
