Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

I’m studying online to be a veterinarian technician. I have a Maltese that is 13 years old. He is very friendly and well trained. I’m very responsible and understand the responsibilities it takes to take care of your beloved pet. I love all breeds and I can’t wait to take care of your pet.

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.
