Quiet house w/ large fenced in yard

Pet care experience

I founded my own dog rescue organization last year that saves dogs that are out of time at Central Valley shelters and find them homes here in the Bay Area. I've been studying dog behavior for the past 2 years and I practice positive reinforcement methods for all training I do as well counter conditioning work to help older dogs that may have some issues. Dogs are my life, I love hanging out with them, working with them, rescuing them and everything that goes with it. Rest assured that your dog will be having a great time when they are left with me, from going on walks, to sunbathing in the big fenced in backyard. With full house privileges, in and out privileges and a large fenced in secure backyard. - your dog will be having such a great time they will hardly notice you're gone!

Vanessa took great care of our shy 16 year old cat while we were out of town for a few days, including making sure she got her medicine at breakfast and dinner. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that Gadget was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely hire her to look after Gadget again in the future.

It was our first time with Vanessa, but we felt very comfortable in the way she handled Rini, we will definitely be repeat customers. Rini was super happy and comfortable with Vanessa and her adorable daughter which made our time away from her worry free. Once again thank you Vanessa for the pic and updates.

Vanessa did a great job with Gareth. He is a very cautious cat, but she was able to get him to stay out when she dropped by. He was great when we returned.

Ive only opened one boarding slot at a time in my home, which I think is the best way to make sure that the pet and myself both have the best experience possible.

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate when the owner lets me know what their pets usual routine is like, that way I can keep the routine similar for the pet. Of course, their pets temperament is very important for me to know. If there’s certain situations that should be avoided, that’s crucial information for me to know.

A typical day

Morning rubs and cuddles, yard time, walks and multiple play breaks to break up the day. I personally have a pretty low maintenance routine, so I’m able to be flexible with the needs of each individual dog that stays with me.
