Vanessa lives about an hour away from us... But.. we keep going back to her because she takes such great care of our Buster. Highly recommended dog sitter.

Vanessa made an excellent first impression when we met her at the meet and greet. She is a kind person who took great care of my little furry friend. I receive daily pictures and videos of my dog, and she promptly answers all my questions about him. Her secure fenced patio gives me peace of mind, as it ensures a safe environment for my pet. Overall, it has been an amazing experience with her as a pet sitter!

Vanessa was great. Loved all the pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving Spidey with Vanessa and her mom. Spidey had a great time. Highly recommend her.

A typical day

I’m able to play with your dog everyday and go on a walk around the block. I love to give out treats and see if I can teach some cool tricks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Vanessa can host up to 3 pets per night
Some dogs have separation anxiety so any advice on how to make your dog comfortable would be appreciated. I would like to know ahead of time if he is friendly with other dogs because I have a small Maltese.
