Pet care experience

Hello! I am Vania, living my dream job, a reliable and caring dog sitter with experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes. Our family, as well as our family dog Shadow provide a safe, attentive and comfortable environment where your dog can feel loved and well exercised until your return! use my code for $20off (VANIAC58312) for first time booking 🐾 Meet My Pack: Past & Present 🐾 Over the years, I’ve had the honor of being loved by a whole cast of furry characters: Honey & Einstein – Mom and son, my dynamic duo of boxers. Sweet as honey and (mostly) smart as Einstein. They were full of love. Bacilio the Grand Dane – Loyal, friendly, and hilariously unaware of his size. Having the biggest dog meant extra cuddles, and extra fun—he was basically a gentle giant. Wuey & Ichiro the Pugs – Wuey was adored by his pet, and both acted as tiny security guards. Their snoring was my favorite soundtrack. Shadow – My current pup in chief. Shadow has the energy of a toddler after espresso and the loyalty of a shadow. He’s curious and always looking for his next adventure which has taught me a lot about secure spaces and staying one step ahead! He is a certified sweetheart, we love him, his favorite word it's ''Vamonos". I’ve learned a lot from each of them, We treat every pup like family, because they are. Proverbs 12:10 💕

I highly recommend Vania. She took care of my dog Chezz as if he were her own. From the first moment, I felt so comfortable and safe leaving him with her. She is loving, patient, and very responsible. Vania kept me updated with messages and pictures, which made me happy to see Chezz was doing well and enjoying his time. It is not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but with her I felt complete peace of mind. She has a big heart for pets, and Chezz was not only cared for but also loved and spoiled. I will definitely trust her again every time I need someone to take care of my dog.

I highly recommend Vania as a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver. I’ve know Vania for 20 years and she have taken excellent care of my pets, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the level of attention, professionalism, and genuine love she brings to the role.

VANIA IS SO KIND AND VERY RESPECTFUL/KNOWLEDGABLE SHE ACUTALLY TAUGHT ME SOME THINGS TO CALM MY DOG DOWN WHEN HES BEING A LITTLE TO HPYER. SHE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND COMMUNICATIVE ASKED HER TO SEND PICS TO ME THROUGHOUT HER DOG SITTING AND SHE DID MY DOG LOOKED VERY HAPPY WHEN I PICKED HIM UP. IVE HAD MANY DOG SITTERS AND SOME ARE SKETCHY BUT VANIA HAS BEEN GREAT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THANK YOU FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY ROOVER!
