Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am a student at the University of Maryland studying to become a teacher. I can't remember a time when I didn't have at least a few pets running around my house. I have been a lover of all furry friends since the beginning of time and have been caring for dogs since I was about 13 for people in my community. I currently own a very energetic chihuahua but have experience with larger dogs as well! I have been an athlete my entire life and exercising with a dog makes it that much more fun. Whether you have a new, hyper puppy or an old, wise hound, I will ensure that your canine feels like the most loved and special dog around.
