Dogs rule and I will always oblige.

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6 at one point. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately.

Vanessa has taken my dogs on many walks and hikes. She is very caring and appears to have a great command of her abilities to handle different types of dogs. She has also walked other friends and coworkers dogs and they too seem to have enjoyed having vanessa take care of their pets. Vanessa has also done some grooming and have been satisfied with her work.

Information Vanessa W. would like to know about your pet

I will tend to any special needs you dog may have and will seek out vet care should it be needed. A dog’s wellness is my first priority along with giving them attention and love.

A typical day

Depending on age and physical condition of the dogs we can walk or hike. We can play fetch or just sit and hang out watching tv. Dogs always let you know what they want to do if you pay attention.
