Information Vanessa W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their age and any health concerns they may have. We prefer dogs that are crate trained for boarding, but it is not a requirement. We live on the second floor, so your dog must be able to walk up and down stairs. We do not accept dogs that are not house trained/broken or use puppy pads. Any triggers and if your fur baby has bite history would be much appreciated. We cannot take any dogs with a history of biting, snapping or nipping. We do not take any unspayed or non-neutered dogs.

A typical day

Walks through the neighborhood. Lots of snuggles - fur babies are allowed on our furniture! Kong toys are a great way keep your pet’s mind working!

Pet care experience

Dog lover at ❤️! I have grown up with many dogs. I have worked with dog trainers to help rehabilitate rescues. I believe in treating your fur baby like they were my own! We are now offering Super Food for your pup’s stay with us! Chicken or turkey with white rice and veggies for $7 per day (or $3.50 per meal). If you would like to book the Super Food option, I will adjust your rate before booking.

My sweet Maxwell did so well and seemed so happy with Vanessa. I'm so thankful we found her. She’s so attentive, and her home is a beautiful, comfortable place for my little boy. I’ll definitely use Vanessa again.
