Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. At my home, dogs enjoy a peaceful, secure environment with a fully fenced 5-foot yard in a quiet, remote setting. The fence is privacy-screened for a low-stimulation, low-stress atmosphere where dogs can relax and be themselves. Inside, I offer a climate-controlled space with both crate options and free areas, depending on your dog’s comfort level and needs. There’s also a designated playground space for fun, structured activity and enrichment time. Your dog won’t be alone—my own dog Olli, a calm and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, acts as the gentle greeter and companion for pups who enjoy company. He’s well-socialized, laid-back, and a natural at making new dogs feel safe and welcome. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet spot to chill, I create a personalized experience that feels like a home away from home.

Reliable care and enrichment fun

Pet care experience

Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From walking neighborhood dogs as a teen to working alongside vets overseas, I’ve spent years understanding and respecting what our four-legged friends need to thrive—not just survive the day. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Safety and comfort are always top priorities. What truly sets me apart is the environment I’ve created. I have a dedicated, secure space just for dogs—with separate fenced areas for different sizes and temperaments. I don’t just offer “watching”—I offer enrichment, structure, and connection tailored to each pup’s needs.

Vanessa took amazing care of our babies while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her and will be using again.

She was great with Rio and he approached her with no hesitation upon meeting. Will use again if in the area, definitely will recommend to anyone in the area or visiting like I was.
