We worked with Vanessa to pup-sit for us while we went to dinner. She was very attentive with our dogs and sent photos to us throughout the night. Would love to work with her again!

If you are needing someone to take care of your animals hire Vanessa. She is amazing and will treat your pets as family. She will also take pictures daily and send you updates very professional.

In early May, I adopted a small puppy whose mother had stopped nursing too early. I knew that I was taking on a lot of work, but I felt confident. Days later, I learned that I needed to go into the office for a few days rather than work from home. Goose, the puppy, was too young for daycare or boarding. So, I searched River for someone who could sit with him in my home. I was nervous, scared to trust someone to take care of Goose, but then I met Vanessa. Goose liked her and she liked him. I went to work relaxed knowing that he was with someone who cared about him. She played with him, fed him, helped me poppy pad train him. She gave me tips on his care (and on how to cook scallops). She will always be my first pick if I need someone to watch him in the future.

Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.
