dogs are better than humans.
Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals and had pets in my childhood home. We didn’t discriminate. At different points and ages, we had a fish, turtle, hamsters, dogs and cats. Dogs easily became my favorite though. In 2011, we got our first family dog, Laney, and I’ve enjoyed such a soft spot in my heart for dogs since! Family has always relied on me to watch their pets, and over the last 8-10 years, dogs have been the primary. They always tell me, “you take the best care of our dogs/house when we’re gone, I can’t even lie”. Like c’mon- duh!
Reviews
Great communication. Love the family and highly recommend them!
Vanessa took good care of my baby, my pup absolutely loves her. The best thing is Vanessa provides constant feedback with images/videos to keep me up-to-date. Will definitely be booking again and again. Amazing service!
This was Vanessa's second time watching Zulu while I was on vacation. Each time has been a wonderful experience! She checks in with photos and updates daily (without me asking!) and always makes sure Zulu is comfortable with the other dogs during the stay. I can always tell Zulu truly enjoys his time with Vanessa, and it makes me so at ease leaving him with her. I reached out a few days before my vacation after someone fell through on watching Zulu, and Vanessa accommodated Zulu with no issues! I look forward to booking Vanessa anytime I need someone to watch Zulu!
Vanessa V. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Safety, trust & environment
We have ample space for activity in our home with a big backyard (fencing pending). My neighborhoods also have access to a lot of play and exercise space for dogs which makes it the perfect vacation! I keep toys out in a bin for dogs to grab as needed. I reward with treats and encourage respectful, well mannered behavior. I constantly send updates by pictures, videos and texts. I know it’s important to know how your baby is doing. In your home, I’m happy to handle small, helpful tasks like grabbing mail, pulling trash to the curb, etc. I normally bring my own personal items and groceries to accommodate me during my stay. I can stay in a guest room or sleep at my own home. I leave any spaces used as clean as I found them.

Information Vanessa V. would like to know about your pet
Additional fees will apply for any damage or destruction caused by your dog (price to be determined by item destroyed). Additional fees will also apply for dogs that frequently urinate, poop, bleed of destroy things inside of the home ($10/day). Let me know your dog’s feeding schedule, any anxiety or special care instructions. I also prefer that you send your dog with a bowl as I find many dogs don’t like to eat if it isn’t there normal feeding bowl.
A typical day
I’m a walker, so your dog will get walks and time outside. With having 2 dogs of my own, most of the play time happens all day. There are trails nearby me, and my number is over a mile around. I also have toys around the house!

Availability
I work from home which is an ideal set up for your fur baby! Your dog(s) and I frequently get walks in my breaks, and they never spend too much time alone. There are times where I crate the dogs during the day, or gate them off, to reduce noise and things during my calls. My neighborhood is near a few parks, so if you have a baby who loves dog parks, they can get time there (weather permitting)! For pick up and drop off requests, $1/mile is charged. $10 flat fee when you are in a 10 mile radius!
