Experienced Dog Mom <3
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Vanessa! I grew up with dogs my whole life and got into full dog mom mode 15 years ago. I’ve cared for my two poodles dogs during this time, and also hosted family and friends dogs at my house. I am very respectful of your care instructions for your dog and also have experience with sick/blind older dogs. Me and my family know that dogs are part of our family and I know the stress you feel when you have to leave them with somebody else, so be sure they will be loved and safe here, and I will send you as many pictures as possible during the stay.
Reviews
Another great weekend leaving our puppy with Vanessa! We are very appreciative of Vanessa and her family. They treat our puppy like their own!
Fantastic experience with Vanessa! My wife and I received updates every day and our pup was happy. Definitely going to book again!
Lpsi was happy, healthy, and full of energy when I picked her up, a testament to the love and attention she received during her say. Vanessa is wonderful.
she kept our dog happy and active and convinced her to eat (Kosi is a picky eater. comforting to have someone like her to take care of our dog.

we lost our dog Ramona last year due to cancer 💔 when she was here I was hosting only small dogs but recently started accepting medium size dogs as well, but if your dog doesn’t like larger dogs please let me know and I can accommodate . I only take two clients at the same time but If your dog doesn’t like other dogs just let me know and I can accommodate too. I have a fenced backyard that the dogs can use when they want, I can see the backyard from my office so I will keep an eye on them at all times. I have an 2yr old that is pretty gentle with animals in general, we have taught her not to be rough with animals so when she comes near any dog she is pretty good. My husband and I work as a team to take care of everything, we will follow feeding and potty schedules that your dog needs and will offer treats, walks, and cuddles as needed .

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog have any dietary restriction, if something triggers them, where do they sleep, and their potty and feeding schedule. If they like other dogs and are comfortable around children. Also let me know what they like to do, what type of games they like, if they enjoy playing outside or prefer being inside in the couch.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhood, and sometimes go to the park nearby (if you’re ok with that), there’s a lot of toys around the house (human and doggy toys) that your dog can play with. I will play with your dog with toys and balls, and our daughter likes to run around with them too. We offer treats after any type of walk.

Availability
I currently work from home so I am available to care for your dog all the time. I have multiple beds that your dog can use or a couch near me for your dog to be comfortable. I have a doggie door to my fenced yard so the dogs can go out whenever they want, if your dog is not use to a doggy door I’ll open the door for them and go out with them as many times as they want 😊 During weekdays I do afternoon walks but of course can offer an extra walk at lunch time if your dog needs it , on weekends we tend to go hiking so let me know if your dog would like that or just a quick walk around the neighborhood. I offer cuddles all day long :)
