Safety, trust & environment

I have a unfenced yard but I make sure to watch the animals I am caring for. I won’t leave them unattended, and if they are known for running off I will keep them leashed as I take them in the yard. I am one to give positive reinforcement, I believe it’s always best to treat them with kindness even when they make mistakes! I always love to give them attention and the love that they need to make them feel safe, and I always want to make sure they feel comfortable and do what is best for each animal!

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog doesn’t get along with certain people or animals, it will help me a lot when going on walks with them if I know ahead of time! Or any important to know kind of information that I should be aware of! :)

A typical day

I love to keep your animal occupied and having a good time! Could be things like going for a walk in the neighborhood, taking a hike through a trail, and possibly going to the dog park to hang out with other animals and play fetch as well! Don’t forget all the snuggles and love they will be getting in if they love to cuddle!! I like to be able to do what is best for your pet and what they enjoy the most, as I know it can vary depending on each animal!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was little I was always a animal lover, I could never get enough of them ! Growing up I grew to love them more and more, I always want them to be a part of my life and I feel like this is a great way to do that! I have a small dog of my own, she’s a chihuahua mix that is 8 years old and her name is Bella. She’s always been there when I needed her and I’m there for when she needs me. I believe animals will always need us, and a lot of us need them too, life definitely is a lot better with them in it! If you’re interested, I’d love to meet yours and be of service for you and your pet(s). If we both are animal lovers I’m sure we will get along just great!

Hi. Vanessa is so good with my cat who is shy and picky. She sent me daily photos of their play time and it did not take him long to warm up to her! Everything was left clean and tidy including his litter box. I have already rebooked Vanessa!
