Safety, trust & environment

I know that all pets have their comfort zone and am aware that safety is important, for both of us. I’ll be aware of their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable until you get home!

Information Vanessa V. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences, but I would like to know if the cat is a custom to being around people. That way, I would know where to go and how to react when I’m in their space.

A typical day

On walks, we would go around the neighborhood to dog friendly parks and also dog parks. Socializing is key along with a run or two if the dog is able. With cas, letting them have their space is key! But if the want to play, play on their terms, always.

Pet care experience

I grew up with all types dogs and cats all my life. I have had tiny dogs and extra large dogs. Now I have 2 labs and a terrier that keep me on my toes. All pets are loyal, fun and just amazing to have. I'm really friendly towards pets and know the importance it brings to any family, big or small.

Vanessa is a smooth operator! We hired her as our first house sitter & to look after our 2 cats and dog while we were away for a few days. She is incredibly warm, attentive & a great dog caretaker. Our pup & kitties didn’t skip a beat in their routine. Would recommend Vanessa & would book again!

I have never used a dog walk service before but was going out of town and thought it would be a nice treat for my dog who was already having someone come to feed and take him out for bathroom breaks. Vanessa did a great job and I just know my dog was so happy to have someone take him for his walks. Vanessa was professional, on time, communicative and took adorable pictures and wrote a description of each walk. She even offered to come meet Bruno the day before the walk. Thanks Vanessa! ?
