I'll treat your dog like my own!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs most of my lifetime so I have lots of personal experience being around dogs and as well as caring for them. I have also cared for relative's and friend's dogs during high school to earn a little more money and I truly love caring for anyone's 4-legged companion! I treat every dog I encounter as if it were my own dog! I have loved dogs my whole life and I love taking care of them! I am a full-time Bachelor's student at the University of Florida but most of my classes are online so I have lots of availability during the week and weekends at almost any time! I love to help and am happy to accommodate to any and all requests!

Vanessa is a very responsible and enthusiastic caretaker for any and all dogs! She's helped me take care of my dog, Chloe and she was patient as Chloe tends to be a little nervous around new people. She also took the time to slowly introduce herself to her by offering food and trying to play with her for hours. She treated Chloe like she was her own and I would leave Chloe in Vanessa's care without any hesitation! I would recommend her to anyone!

Vanessa is very responsible. She is very good with animals and can take care of them very well. She has took care of my dog once before and she did an excellent job.

When it comes to being a loving caregiver for dogs Vanessa is truly one of the best. I have a Boston terrier, named Yoda, and he absolutely adores her. His energy can be intense at times but Vanessa has no problem with that at all. She will keep him active and playing, while making sure he's safe and hydrated, until he wants to just relax. She also makes sure he's clean, fed, and gives him a brush after having walked outside. I would definitely let her take care of Yoda any time!

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences at all! I would like to know if the dog has any type of dietary restriction as I tend to give treats to the dogs after a walk, just as long as the owner's approve of that. I'd also like to know if the dog has any type of limitation whether that be with a sense, like deafness or blindness, or if the dog has a physical abnormality, like arthritis or hip dyplasia. I'd also like to know if the dog has any type of aggressive behavior, whether that is towards people or other dogs, as that will be helpful on where I will take the dog as well as how I will interact with the dog. I'd also appreciate knowing if the dog is on any type of medication or has any condition that requires normal checks throughout the day since during my time with them, I'd care for them like I'd care for my own pet. Finally, I'd love to know what activities the dog likes to do as I'd try my best to give the dog the best experience possible!

A typical day

I would go on walks at any public place that will accept dogs as long as the owner's are okay with it unless they have a preference on where they want he/she to go! The fun activities that I'd do with each dog will vary depending on owner's preference of activity as well as the dog's energy level. But I'd certainly play catch and tug of war as the dog's usually seem to enjoy those activities!
