Safety, trust & environment

I’m certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and am a Certified Pet Nutrition Coach, so your pet’s health and safety is always prioritized. I am also Fear Free trained, so if your pet is a little nervous around strangers, I can make them feel safe and comfortable.

Information Vanessa W. would like to know about your pet

I want to know anything and everything you think would make the most of my time with your baby! Examples of great info would be any medical or behavioral issues, energy level and exercise needs, allergies or other dietary restrictions, favorite treats, toys, and activities, their "spot,” etc. **If your dog is fearful of strangers, please let me know so we can arrange a meet and greet before the service. I love working with fearful dogs and want to make sure we set everyone up for success!**

A typical day

I hope you like pictures- I love taking and sending pics of your babies! Dogs especially need more exercise than we realize, so I include playtime, training practice, and/or a short walk with every visit (dog walking services include more intense exercise). I also have long nails so every pet gets a really good ear or butt scratch at no extra charge!

Whether you need an occasional check-in or regular visits, a quick walk or complicated medical treatments, I’m here to give you and your baby the same expert and loving service I have given Texas parents and pets for almost 20 years. My professional experience includes veterinary, training and agility, nutrition and wellness, grooming, foster and rescue, and caretaking.

Vanessa has been an absolute blessing to our home! She works with our busy schedules, has been a great communicator, and with three dogs with varying personalities, has handled all of our fur babies with ease and they also love her! We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Vanessa is always prompt, even the day of heavy thunderstorms! Her calm demeanor helped Charlie relax too!
