Safety, trust & environment

I'm down to run, play, walk, clean, cuddle, groom, escort, chauffeur or even just chill with your animals, whatever they need. :) If I'm staying in their home, my goals is to maintain their routine, whether that's specific feeding/medication times or upkeeping current training commands. I've taken care of dogs of almost all ages and activity levels so I can adapt to most needs that your pup may have.

Information Vanessa V. would like to know about your pet

Anything you think I need to know, I want to know. If they're nervous about anything, what they're favorite toy is, or even just a general quirk, I would love to know because that'll help me create the most comfortable and fun experience for them.

A typical day

A dog in my care can look forward to walks (or runs) in the park. If they are active, I would love to play Frisbee, Fetch, or any other doggy sport with them. If they are not into that, I would love to just take a stroll or curl up and snuggle to a good movie. With cats, I’m very committed to a good play time with toys or if they’re mellow, they can join the movie night :)

Experienced With All Kinds of Pets

Pet care experience

I grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and goats, so I've got a lifetime of experience with all kinds of furry friends. Professionally, I've worked at a couple different dog boarding/daycare/training places before switching to a job that was more fitting to what I went to school for. I’m comfortable with various types of pets in terms of breed, age, temperament, and lifestyle (up-keeping training, giving meds, disabilities, etc).

An absolute lovely person. Took great care of my dog, sent pictures, kept in touch while we were gone. Came back home to a happy, stress free dog.

Vanessa was lovely! Responsible, communicative, timely, and must importantly wonderful with our 2 dogs and 3 cats. It's a bit of a zoo, and she took care of our "kids" and our home wonderfully. I highly recommend her. We've already booked her again.

Vanessa was able to house sit on super short notice and took excellent care of our puppy, cat and apartment!

Vanessa is the most caring person! She's great with animals, and has their best interest at heart. She's very receptive to how to best care for the pup, and follows through super responsibly. Highly recommend!
