Information Vanessa V. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any special needs, medical conditions, or preferences your dog may have to ensure their comfort and safety. All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations. While I typically care for smaller breeds, I am more than happy to accommodate larger dogs as well.

A typical day

Our day begins with a nice stretch and a quick potty break to get your fur baby ready for the day. I closely follow your pet's feeding schedule to keep them on track, making sure they're comfortable and happy. After mealtime, we'll head outside for some fresh air and a potty break about 30 minutes later, followed by some outdoor play. Since the weather can be hot, we keep outdoor play in short, fun bursts to ensure your pet stays cool and safe. Indoors, we’ll have plenty of playtime with their favorite toys and ensure they get plenty of rest in between to recharge. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just cuddling up for a nap, your fur baby will get lots of love and attention throughout the day!

Together, we make sure your fur baby is treated like part of the family!”

Vanessa and her son Gage were exceptional with my Blue and Nova. She sent daily pics and messages. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thanks again for looking after my doggies.
