Safety, trust & environment

Taking good care of pets involves some simple steps like making sure they have a safe and comfy place to hang out, feeding them regularly and giving them plenty of water to drink, making sure they get enough exercise and playtime, and making regular visits to the vet. You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

To interact safely and positively with a dog, there are a few important things to consider. First, understanding the breed of the dog can provide insight into their temperament and needs. Knowing a dog's age, medical history, and level of training can also be helpful in preventing any potential issues. Finally, taking note of a dog's likes and dislikes, such as favorite toys or treats, can help create a positive and enjoyable experience for both the dog and the person interacting with them. By taking these factors into account, you can create a safe and positive interaction with a dog.

A typical day

I take great pleasure in providing my dog with both emotional and physical nourishment. Our routine involves frequent walks in nearby parks, and occasional visits to dedicated dog parks for off-leash playtime or a good run around the track. We also love engaging in games of fetch, and I like to offer treats as positive reinforcement for good behavior. It's all part of my effort to ensure that my dog is happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

Pet care experience

At 26 years of age, I reside in a spacious and comfortable abode alongside my spouse. Although we have not yet welcomed children into our household, we are blessed with the presence of an affectionate canine companion. My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I derive immense pleasure from spending time with and caring for them. My pets are a cherished source of companionship, with whom I relish playing and sleeping.

Another great stay. We have been using Vanessa as our Rover for years, and they never disappoint! Thanks for always taking such good care of our dog.

We had an amazing experience with Vanessa! She took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her like family. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our girl was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Vanessa and Enzo took wonderful care of our puppy Bailey. She has a ton of crazy energy, but they loved her anyway! Bailey had so much fun playing with Dolce and another sweet dog. Vanessa kept me up to date with pics and videos, I loved seeing her having fun! Bailey misses her BFF's so we will have to go back soon!
