Pet care experience

Veterinary technician experience!

Since a young age I've been caring for animals of all sizes. Whether it was finding a small homeless kitten and nursing it back to health at 7 years old, to starting my own dog walking service at 8, to currently working in an animal hospital caring for patients. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family has always known this was the field for me and I wouldn't change a thing. Even the most difficult animals deserve love, attention, and comfort. Big or small, I love them all. :) My current schedule varies between hours and days. Feel free with any questions or concerns you may have! Thank you so much for your time! i hope to hear from you shortly!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in large yard. My pets are crate trained but also enjoy company of friends! If your pet needs a more socially limited time, I am happy to accommodate that as well.

Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.

She was great with my dog who gets very anxious when left at home. My dog was well taken care of when I got home plus the house was left clean. Also she sent a photo per day usually to keep us updated.

Vanessa was amazing while watching my dog Cloud!! I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was open to options to allow Cloud to have the best time with her while I was away on vacation. I also loved that she is a vet tech so I know she has the knowledge and training to do what's best if anything were to happen. I would definitely recommend letting her sit your pup, because she treats them like her own!

Vanessa has been a huge help to me and my golden retriever. After recently relocating to Las Vegas with my job, I have some overnight trips for work. Having an older dog, I like to leave her in her environment so she is comfortable. Vanessa is very sweet and caring with animals. She is reliable and responsible and I have nothing to worry about when I have to go out of town. She comes and stays with Bella and spends a lot of time with her. I couldn't be happier and Vanessa will be booking her for the rest of trips.

I have no breed preferences, but all huskies are welcome haha I love all breeds. Every dog has their own personality and I look forward to getting to know your dog. :) I just ask if there are any medications or concerns you may have with your fur babies.
