I will treat your dog as my own!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal advocate but I have a huge heart for dogs. I have never not had a dog...from the day I was born to present day, I have had at least one if not more. I am a member of the ASPCA. At 46 years I have never been blessed with human children so I consider my three now to be my 4-legged children. I have loved & lost...Nursed and played my heart out with my girls. My fur sister growing up lived to be 17 & my biggest love Sassie lived to be 15 years. Your 4 legged fur babies will be a part of my heart as well. I work Mon-Fri 8-5 but will work around that schedule for you.

Vanessa is fantastic! The dogs love her, and she went out of her way to play with them, and adk about toys and treats. The pictures each day were great, also. Would definitely use her again.

I have known Vanessa for years and she is one of the biggest animal lovers around! She loves and pampers all dogs just as if they were her own. I would trust her with my two dogs anytime. She has a huge heart for animals and it shows! If you are looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter then Vanessa is your girl!

Vanessa has a huge heart for dogs. I have never seen anyone treat her dogs like children like she and her husband do. She would be a fantastic dog sitter!!! I trust her to the moon and back.

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet

Definitely, what kind of personality trait they normally have...If there are any fears they may have and how they may react in certain situations re: noises etc. Commands that are often given and what there favorite toys/chews are. I want to know as much as possible...traits that the owners uses & does so that I can make your pups as comfortable as possible while you are out. No specific breed preferences here...I do not discriminate~~ I will love on & take care of your pups no matter the size or breed as if they were my own!

A typical day

With the owners permission I would love to go to a local park and/or any trails that might be available close by to walk your dog so that we can enjoy some sunshine & get some exercise. If no walks are allowed or space is restricted, I still love to go out in the backyard for some playtime...catch or playing chase...whatever your pup is already used to. Sometimes if a dog just prefers quality time indoors that works too...I will always take time out to just sit with and love on your pup as well~~
