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.

Plenty of outdoor play with my dog Storm, Dog toys and walks (based on pet tolerance). We try to adapt a very similar schedule as home, to foster routine.

Animal Lover and Caregiver

Pet care experience

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

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!”

Booked Vanessa last minute, and we are so happy we found her. She sent us lots of videos and photos throughout our dog’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure our puppy got plenty of playtime and attention. She was very kind and also flexible when we picked up our puppy 2 hours later than the scheduled pickup time. We would definitely book her again.

Vanessa was amazing with our dog. First few days he was afraid to go and by the end he could not wait to get in to the house. Great experience.
