We Love On Your Pup When You Can’t
We are a team! You get both of us! lol We both grew up with dogs and Vannessa also grew up with a cat. We affectionately refer to all dogs of all ages as puppies. We really want a dog but we can’t yet commit to the life they deserve so as long as their human and the puppy allow us to love on them, we gratefully do so! We are very attentive, follow common sense and all the house rules provided for the pup or pups (and kitties if there are any), we send pictures and videos, and provide updates. We love your puppies (and kitties if there are any) as if they were our own. You can have the peace of mind and enjoy your difficult time away from them knowing they are being really well taken care of! To us, pets are family, best friends; special and important. We treat them with the utmost love, care, attention, and respect. We genuinely love them. For first time sitting, we always do a meet and greet before accepting any bookings. This way we can confirm we are all a good fit for each other. If we all agree we are, we also like to do another meet and greet right before the housesitting time so your pups (and kitties if there are any) can get our scent again so they can remember us and feel safe when we go pet sit them. During meet and greets we go over what you need and ask that you write it all down as well for the pet sitting dates. For walks and drop-ins, we also do an initial meet and greet before accepting any bookings for the same reasons. Whatever questions you may have, please ask! We’re very open communicators [We don’t know how rates show up on your end. For us it doesn’t show a breakdown, just a total amount paid. The app on our end also says an 11% fee is added on to our rates but when we looked at the numbers, the math wasn’t mathing. When we calculated it, it’s actually 39% that is added on to our rates. So just FYI those are not our rates plus 11%. Those are our rates plus 39% that goes to the app, not us. If you leave us a tip, the full tip does get sent to us.]
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We only care for pets at your home. We are not allowed to have pets at our apartment. As far as how we care for your pets, always lovingly. Whether you have a strict routine for them, casual schedule, or just follow their lead—we do what you ask of us. If there is something we don’t feel comfortable with, we communicate with you and you let us know how you want to proceed. It’s really important to us we all communicate well with each other.
Ratings and reviews
Vannessa and Jason were amazing! They took such great care of our two pups and home. We were gone for 2 weeks and this was the longest we’d ever been away. It was such a stress free trip entrusting them with our pups! They were very communicative and provided updates and pics everyday while we were gone. The house was so clean when we came back! Cannot recommend them enough. We will definitely be asking them to housesit everytime we leave!
Vannessa and Jason stayed in our home to watch our 2 dogs for 4 nights. They did an amazing job! They were very communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates and kept our home spotless. In fact, they left the house cleaner than when we had left. I highly recommend Vannessa and Jason!
Vannessa and Jason are lovers of pets, kind, and trust worthy. My Ashe (Corgi) loved them and she is persnickety. They regularly walked and played ball with her. I highly recommend them for you dog sitting, walking, care needs. Ashe does as well!
Vannessa and Jason are truly amazing with animals. My furbaby absolutely loves them and gets so excited every time he sees them. I completely trust them with him and always know he’s in the best hands.
Vannessa and Jason were instantly so sweet with our Golden Sharpei puppy, Lolo. He warmed up to them right away, and you could genuinely feel how much they enjoy being around dogs. They’re the kind of people you would feel good trusting with your fur baby. We’d be more than comfortable having them care for our Lolo in the future.
Vannessa is AMAZING to say the least. She loves our shepherd malinois mix, Fitz, just as much as we do. She takes excellent care of him and follows his routine when she’s with him, and communicates with us throughout her time with him. She really loves animals and it shows in her tenderness and energy with pets. Highly recommend her!

Schedule
We do this full time. For Housesitting, we give your pets our full attention. IF we leave, it’s only to go run errands (we can’t do at another time), get groceries/food, go to Dr’s appointments (if we already had them scheduled before confirming your booking and/or if we can’t reschedule it), and going to the gym (we try not to skip but will if necessary). Things like that. When we have to do that, we spread things apart as much as we can so we’re with your pets as much as possible. Point being we’re with your pets almost the whole time and many times the whole time (where we don’t leave at all). Our schedule is fairly flexible. Rest assured once you’ve confirmed dates and times with us, we will be there. For Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking, even though it hasn’t happened but IF we cannot make it (which would be for an emergency or something urgent like a Doctor’s appointment that can’t work around that time) we give you as much notice as we possibly can. Same goes for Housesitting but that’s an easier work around.

- What their personality is like. Do they resource guard. Have they ever bitten anyone before. Do they get along with other dogs. How are they on walks. If they get scared, what comforts them. If they have a routine, what is it. That sort of thing [Are they potty trained or not. Our fee is different for non potty trained pets than what’s on our profile.]
