Availability
I work full time as an engineer with a typical weekday 9–5 schedule, but I’m able to take dogs out during my lunch break. I’m also available before and after work, and mornings, evenings, and weekends are great for longer walks, hikes, or runs depending on your dog’s energy level. I live a pretty low-key lifestyle and spend most of my free time reading, at the gym, or out hiking. That makes it easy for me to give pets lots of attention and quality time during visits or walks.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and routine and always prioritize safety on walks and during visits. I’m careful about things like secure leashing, avoiding unsafe situations with other dogs, and paying attention to body language and energy levels. I’m happy to follow any instructions you have for your pet’s care, including feeding routines, medications, preferred walking routes, or training cues. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and maintain the routine they’re used to while you’re away. At this time I’m not able to host pets in my apartment, but I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or care in your home.
Information Vanessa T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has any quirks, needs, or behaviors you think I'd need to know! I'd also like to know if your dog is affectionate, shy, house trained, leash trained, or any other helpful info you think I'd need to know! I’m happy to follow any instructions you have for your pet’s care, including feeding routines, medications, preferred walking routes, or training cues. I'm pretty flexible as long as I know what I'm walking into ahead of time.

I'd love to take your pup out for a walk or hike, play some fetch, or even just give some much needed love scritches!! :)

Pet care experience
Hi! I grew up with dogs and have loved being around them my whole life. While I don’t currently have one of my own (apartment life!), I still get plenty of dog time regularly watching my friends’ pups. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from high-energy pups and puppies to reactive dogs and senior fur babies. I love getting outside for walks, hikes, runs, and playtime, and I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise while you’re away. I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing! If we go on a longer walk or run, don’t be surprised if your dog ends up getting bragged about on my Strava. I can share the activity with you too if you’d like to follow along on our miles.
Reviews
Vanessa was great with our two cats! She was very accommodating when our landlord sprung some surprise maintenance on us while we were away and kept our cats safe, fed, and litter box clean! Would recommend booking with Vanessa!
Vanessa was amazing! So grateful to have her responsible and sweet care for my pup.
Pumpkin gets anxious when we leave town, so finding Vanessa has been a game changer. He gets more excited to see her than literally anyone else, which tells you everything you need to know. She gives him so much love and exercise, handles his quirks without missing a beat, and clearly goes above and beyond. We trust her completely and can't recommend her enough.
Vanessa is my go-to dog sitter, I have never once been worried about the care of my pet in her hands. She always puts the needs of any dog she is watching in front of her own. In my experience I have seen most dogs gravitate towards her calming energy and demeanor as she creates a safe environment for them. Her active lifestyle is suitable for most dogs that need to get wiggles out. I couldn't recommend Vanessa more, she is a legend.
