Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving Pet Care + First Aid Cert
What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, reliability, and safety training. I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, and I also regularly care for my mother’s dog and a few of my friends’ dogs. I’ve completed a Dog First Aid course, so I know how to handle emergencies and keep pets safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a gentler approach and extra patience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I want to ensure that they feel comfortable, secure and happy in their own environment.
Ratings and reviews
Vanessa has been walking our Goldendoodle twice a week, and we've had a really positive experience with her. She's always on time, is very sweet and patient with our dog, and does a great job on every walk. He's always happy to see her, which says a lot. She's also very respectful of our home and leaves everything exactly as she found it. Vanessa is reliable, easy to communicate with, and someone we feel comfortable trusting with both our dog and our house. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker.
Vanessa is polite, punctual and very attentive to our dog Faith. She was very flexible in her availability and is such a nice person. Highly recommend her services
Great experience! Vanessa was reliable and took great care of our dog. Would definitely book again.
I was a first time user & Vanessa made this easy. I can tell from the update pics Manfred took to her right away ❤️ I would book Vanessa again & recommend her.
Vanessa cared for our Dog Pacha several days per week. She was always prompt and pleasant. We knew Pacha was in good hands when his tail began to wag when he saw her arrive. He really loved his walks with Vanessa.
Vanessa has been absolutely wonderful with my dog Luna. From the first walk I could tell Luna felt comfortable and happy around her. Vanessa has such a warm, positive energy that dogs really seem to connect with, and Luna always gets so excited when she sees her. For both walks or longer dog-sitting visits, I can trust that Luna is in good hands. Vanessa is not only caring and attentive, but also very dependable and responsible. She communicates clearly, sends updates, and goes the extra mile to make sure Luna feels loved and cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, and that makes all the difference. I feel lucky to have found someone so reliable and kind, I couldn’t recommend Vanessa more highly!

Schedule
I work remotely three times a week, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I’m fully available, making it easy to accommodate longer visits, extra playtime, or overnight care.

- It’s important for me to know each pet’s daily routine, temperament, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, health concerns, and any behavioral quirks (like separation anxiety, nervousness around other dogs, or dislikes during walks). I also like to know their favorite toys, activities, and comfort items - anything that helps me keep them happy.
