Pet care experience
When my dog passed away a few years ago, I couldn’t bring myself to get another dog so have been fostering & dogsitting instead! I’ve fostered 14 pups so far and have taken care of a variety of breeds, ages, behaviors from all types of rescue dogs from rescue org’s Second Chances Pet Rescue and Hollywood Huskies.
Reviews
Dino had a perfect stay with Vanessa! He doesn’t always like people on first meeting, but he liked her instantly. I felt safe leaving him at her house for a day. She is professional and responsible and took good care. She has a nice small safe private yard. Will book again.
Vanessa was a huge lifesaver for us when we needed super last minute care for our pup. She was very communicative throughout his stay, sending us pictures, videos, and updates regularly. She was also extremely warm and patient with him, even when he engaged in some unfavorable behaviors (like running away with his water bowl). We would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for an attentive, kind, and patient caregiver for their pup.
Vanessa is incredible! Vanessa has looked after my pup many times, sometimes as long as two weeks at a time. She is so great with dogs and always makes sure my pup Bailey gets all the love and attention she deserves. Vanessa always keeps me in the loop and sends me tons of photos to keep me updated on how Bailey is doing. She is extremely committed to getting Bailey outside and takes her on long walks both in the morning and afternoon. Most importantly, Vanessa maintains Bailey's training habits and doesn't encourage any behavior that I don't typically allow at home. My dog can be a bit nervous around new dogs she meets, and Vanessa also does a great job of introducing her to them in a comfortable way and has even made some new friends in the neighborhood while I've been away. I would highly recommend Vanessa for any and all of your dogsitting needs!
Vanessa took excellent care of my dog who has separation anxiety. Appreciated the cute photos sent throughout the stay. Great communication as well. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
My fenced in yard can be accessed by the pups anytime they’d like to go outside and lie in grass/the sun. As I work from home, I can always be supervising them as well/make sure I'm with them 24/7 or can crate them if necessary. I live in a safe and street clean neighborhood with sidewalks, shady trees, and a dog park so it's great for walks. I'd also be more than happy to provide updates and pictures to keep you informed and updated during your pet's stay with me.

Information Vanessa S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has any special routine, schedule or needs I should be aware of or if your dog doesn’t do well around other dogs.
A typical day
I'm known for giving the dogs lots of love, scratches and cuddles! I love to use dog sitting as an excuse for me to get outside and walk/have breaks between meetings. I also have a great dog park near the house I can take the pups. I am quite social so happy taking the dogs out with me (only if they'd like to) when I go to restaurants, hiking with friends, to the beach etc.

I also have a yard that they can enjoy and help themselves to potty anytime and can also take them out for regular potty breaks, walks, and of course always time for cuddles. I will always follow whatever your pups schedule/practices are at your house!
