Pet care experience

** $20 off when you book for the first time using code: VANESP79368 ** Now about me :) I’ve fostered/ rehomed 15+ dogs (incl. senior and puppies as young as 6 weeks) since 2022 with Niagara Dog Rescue and I can reassuringly say that animal care and safety is my main priority! I’m well versed in administering medication, cuddles, forehead kisses, and give nightly massages before bedtime 🧖‍♀️♥️ I’ve owned 6 dogs and expect to adopt more in the future so lots of love and experience to give! 🥰

Our 33 lb Sheepadoodle had a great time staying with Vanessa for seven days. We had an initial "Meet and Greet" with her and her dog Skylar, and knew that our dog would be just fine staying with Vanessa. Vanessa kept us updated frequently with several pictures everyday and that all was going well. She was also very prompt at responding if we had any questions. We will definitely be using Vanessa in the future.

I was insanely nervous and probably really annoying with my instructions and rules as I have never left my dog with someone I didn’t know before or with a dog she didn’t know well before- but she has seriously come back a different dog!! Vanessa was incredibly communicative and accommodating and my dog seemed to love her. My dog can also be very unpredictably dog aggressive which I was also super nervous about and I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa’s dog Skyler- she immediately knew how to read my dogs body language and they were instant besties because of it. Seriously, my dog has come back with a new found confidence. Thank you!!

Thank you Vanessa! My mini Golden doodle had the pleasure of staying with Vanessa for four days while I was out of the City. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone my dog did not know previously, so it was a bit nerve-wracking for my dog and myself. Lol. However, Vanessa had a way of making the departure a breeze, and Charlie was ease prettt quickly. I was reassured by consistent updates of messages, pictures and videos. Charlie was snuggled up nightly and had long walks and runs daily with her. I am content to know that if I have to go away on short notice again, I have Vanessa to depend on with her kind and responsible nature. Thank you for all your help! ❤️
