Vanessa was awesome! She took great care of our two dogs and our home! Vanessa kept us updated throughout the weekend and went above and beyond to clean up and come home to a spotless house! Excellent experience.

Terrible service, terrible attitude. Unethical. Did not meet the agreement of amount of time spending with my dog. She was late on administration medication by 3 1/2 hours one time along with other times over an hour she stated that she would sleep with my dog, but she ended up kicking the dog out of the bed to see her boyfriend in my house it was unauthorized to be in my home. I come confront her about lack of care and she got defensive and bailed out on the job. Leaving me to find another sitter last minute as I’m out of state. Unprofessional, a liar wouldn’t recommend her at all unless you want her boyfriend sleeping in your home.

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur buddy is welcomed on the couch and be accompanied by my own little dog who loves to play . I don’t have a backyard myself but I do have a nice grass field up front where they can roll around together in and a 4 min walk away from a dog park. It’s also a very calm environment here in my place so if you have an elderly pet I can ensure you that they are in a quiet comfortable space .

Pets

A typical day

We can sit and lay down on the comfy couch and when it’s time to play we can go for walks ! I have many toys at home that they can play with and can be friends w my own little dog ! I frequently go off-roading w my partner which allows me to walk my dog on long green/dirt trails :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Vanessa can host up to 3 pets per night
Let me know what kind of dog they are during walks ! Are they the super chill or the ones that love to tug when they see another dog ! :)
