Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher by trade, lover of dogs
I’ve learned a lot from getting my rescue dog through the puppy stages. He is a gentle, happpy pitbull mix. With crate training, house training, and obedience training, I got a good look at how to work with puppies. Additionally, I grew up with a small poodle and used to watch chocolate labs in our home so I am used to different dynamics between dogs. At the end of my poodle’s life, I had a lot of experience in administering medications and caring for an old pup. I have experience working with dogs of all ages!

Ratings and reviews
Vanessa took such great care of our Cadillac. He would have happily stayed with her and Sunday for another week :)

Cadillac had a fantastic day with Vanessa and Sunday today. He didn’t even want to leave! And he can’t wait to see them again! 😊

Being the first time I have ever left a dog (child) with anyone, I was pretty apprehensive. Vanessa made the process easier than can be, was warm, updated us throughout the day, and was an absolute pleasure. Would 100% use again anytime our little one needs a sitter. A+

Vanessa was great with our Cadillac! He was so well cared for and loved playing with her dog, Sunday! Cadillac cannot wait to visit again soon!

Very nice environment. Her dog played well with Maia and she has a new friend.

My dog had so much fun! Vanessa is so kind and clearly loves dogs. I got lots of cute photos as well!

Schedule
I’m a teacher and have the summer off. I spend a lot of time outside and would love to walk your pup during the day, morning, or evening.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My completely fenced in backyard has lots of space to roam and play! It is convenient to let the pups outside, knowing that they will be safe and contained to a fenced in space. We have trained our dog to use his crate for naps, play breaks, and for times he would otherwise be unsupervised. Our home has safety gates inside that we can use to block access of unsafe areas or items in the house.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog will love exploring the fenced-in backyard and playing with all of the toys around the house. Your pet can play chase and fetch with our rescue dog Sunday and we can go on walks in the neighborhood! If your pup is low energy and more chill, there are sunny spots in the house and in the backyard to lounge and take naps :) Sometimes we go to Borderland State park to walk the pond loop and meet new friends!
