Pet care experience

Dog lover!

I have extensive pet care experience that includes caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. What sets me apart is my personalized approach; I prioritize understanding each dog's unique personality and preferences to provide tailored care. Additionally, I have skills in basic obedience training and can help reinforce good habits while your pup is in my care. My commitment to ensuring a safe, fun, and loving environment makes me a reliable choice for any dog owner.

Vanessa was an absolute blessing as our dog's pet sitter. From the detailed daily updates to the photos showing our dog’s happy adventures, we felt completely at ease while away. She followed our care instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile by taking our dog on extended walks and giving extra belly rubs. It was clear from our return that our dog was well-loved and cared for - the excited tail wags when seeing Vanessa again said it all! We won't hesitate to book her services again in the future.
