Fun caring dog lover.

Pet care experience

We moved from Costa Rica last year and we love Chicago and its dog friendly parks. I've been a dog owner and lover since I can remember (I also like cats and other furry friends). I take my dog to a park where she can run unleashed and play with other dogs. Every dog that comes becomes a part of our family for the time they are with us and, best part is, you will get a daily update with picture of all the fun your pet is having with me. I try to make them have a good time or get them exhausted from running or playing. If the weather is nice I may take them for extra-long walks or to a new adventure. I also know how to administer medicine orally if necessary.

Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She was patient with his nervous nature and sent daily pictures and updates of his activities.

Vanessa took the best care of Charlie of anyone I've ever had watch him in all of his 13 years. She was consistent, caring and I felt really happy and safe with Charlie in her hands. Highly recommend to anyone!!!

Vanessa and Coco were fantastic for Max's 2 week stay! She is super experienced at taking care of little puppies and took many pictures and videos everyday. This was the first time I left my puppy with someone else for so long, but he loved Vanessa and Coco so much that I think he forgot about me! Vanessa took the time to walk max everyday despite snow, rain and mud. She even made sure to give Max showers to keep him clean and fluffy. I can always reach her if anything comes up and I really appreciated that. Can't say enough good things about Max's stay with Vanessa and I 100% recommend her. When I picked up Max he smelled super clean and looked so happy!

Vanessa was very caring and attentive to Ein. She sent pictures every day and was responsive whenever I spoke with her. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Ein with Vanessa again if I needed to.

I would like to know if they are friendly to other dogs, and their character, what they like to do more or don't like to do, if they have allergies and if they need me to administer some medicine

A typical day

There is a couple of dog parks close by, we normally would walk there in the morning so they can run freely and play with other dogs.
