Pet care experience

Animal Lover and Caregiver

I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. We currently live in a peaceful, pet friendly neighborhood (Less than 3 miles from Eisenhower Dog Run). Our yard is fenced and spacious. I will also take dog to Dog Park (if necessary or mentioned by owner). I am a true believer that Dogs are our best friend and give us twice as much love and kindness we give them. My Family (husband,daughter and dog) loves animals.My dog Storm is very social, playful and is well trained to interact with other dogs, kids and people. We adopted Storm at 2 months and cared for her since. She is the perfect sister, friend and playmate to our family. We look forward to walking, playing or sitting your fur baby/friend and inviting them to our home. See you soon

Vanessa was so easy to communicate with and made me feel SO comfortable with leaving my dog with her. She understood my dogs needs, specifically that she's a master escape artist. She kept updated with texts and pictures throughout my dogs stay. I also liked that her family was involved, as it made it a very homey environment. Thank you Vanessa and Logan for taking the best care of my little Bun. I highly recommend her!

Excellent experience. My dog enjoyed his time, was in good spirits and ready for bed after all the play time.

Vanessa was wonderful with our little Franklin. Her husband and daughter were also very friendly and sweet. They took great care of our baby. I would absolutely use Vanessa again when we need a dog sitter.

The moment my dogs and I met Vanessa and her family, we felt assured that our pups would be in good hands. We were kept updated on their well being and would be using their services again in the future. Thank your so much for watching over our pups!

Vanessa and her husband were wonderful! They took amazing care of Midnight during our overnight away. I felt completely at ease! She kept us updated with lots of videos, and Midnight was clearly having a blast. I couldn’t ask for better care or peace of mind!”

My husband and myself works opposite schedules, so there is always someone home to care for the pets. This way they will not be alone for long periods of time.

I would like to know if the dog is potty trained, social and allergies. This way we can provide the most appropriate care during their stay.
