Safety, trust & environment

I have a semi-fenced deck that leads to a common yard area with bushes and shrubs at my home, and I live on the ground level of an apartment complex so it's easy to get in and out without getting into an elevator. I am also steps away from the dog park, grassy field and trails. I live with my partner (male) who loves having dogs and cats around. Your furry companion will be in great company with the both of us. I make sure to be communicative with the owner at all times, and ask any questions in advance so that I am prepared. I often take pictures to send back in case you miss them, or they're doing something funny that I just want to share!

Information Vanessa T. would like to know about your pet

Any special meal instructions, how they communicate, what commands do they know, their reactivity, any place they don’t want to be pet, their energy level and needs, how they are on leash and walks (I.e do they have a tendency to look for poop, eat anything they see?). Anything else you would like to share!

A typical day

It will depend on the pet but typically we start we a potty break and a lap around the complex, completed with a treat. Then some home time with toys or naps. I love walking down the local trails, or I can bike with them and take them on hikes or a swim depending on the dog! I also like to visit dog parks where they can be social if they want to. If they have weak joints, sensitive paws, or are reactive, I will tailor their time with me!

Pet care experience

Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I quickly adapt to their unique personality and needs. I care for every animal as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, trail hikes, or lake swims followed by tick checks and a good towel dry. Friends and colleagues in both Toronto and Squamish have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and reliability. With a more flexible schedule now, I’m excited to spend even more time doing what I love—looking after animals with the attention and care they deserve.

Vanessa took great care of sprocket, he had a great time watching the birds out the window, and playing all over the apartment. Vanessa is great to chat with, responsive, and kept me up to date with pictures.

Vanessa is truly the best. She went above and beyond when Gryphon stayed with her for 10 days. She was quick with updates and responses to questions, and very loving towards Gryphon. He trusted her immediately! Thanks Vanessa for taking such good care of Gryph!
