Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I work from home, which allows me to provide constant attention and care to your dog. My schedule is flexible, and I’m completely available Friday through Monday to ensure your dog receives the exercise, playtime, and care they need. I structure my day around regular walks, feeding, and cuddles, with plenty of breaks for relaxation. I’m also experienced in administering medication safely and dealing with dogs that have anxiety.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs, having grown up with them since childhood. From Shih Tzus to Great Danes, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and understand their unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering prescription pills safely, so your dog’s health is in great hands. Working from home allows me to provide endless walks and personalized attention, while your dog is always welcome on the furniture, ensuring they feel loved and at ease. Whether at your home or mine, I offer a safe, caring environment for your furry family member.

Vannice was fantastic when it came to taking care of my dog and making sure all her needs were met! She ensured to provide daily pictures and updates when she took my dog out as well as when she was fed to make sure I knew what was going on throughout the day while I was gone. I’m glad to know my dog was in great hands while I was gone and would definitely recommend Vannice to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

Vannice is a great dog walker and caretaker because she combines professionalism, empathy, and knowledge to ensure the well-being of the dogs in her care. She is dependable and always punctual, recognizing that dogs thrive on routine and consistency. With patience and attentiveness, she adapts her approach to each dog’s unique needs, whether they are energetic or more cautious. Physically fit and safety-conscious, she ensures each dog gets the exercise they need while staying aware of her surroundings. She uses positive reinforcement to foster good behavior and create a positive experience for the dogs. Her excellent communication with pet owners provides valuable updates on their dogs’ behavior and well-being, and most importantly, her genuine love for animals shines through in her compassionate care, building strong, trusting relationships with both dogs and owners.

Vannice would provide safe, loving care and great customer service because she has had dogs her whole life and knows exactly how to adjust commands to fit each dog's unique needs. She is deeply committed to the health and well-being of her pets, as demonstrated when she adopted her dog, Cookie, who was overweight. Vannice put her on a vet-approved diet, paired with plenty of exercise and therapy, helping Cookie lose 15 pounds in about six months. In addition to caring for her own pets, she loves watching her friends' dogs, where she enjoys cuddling with them and even making homemade treats. Vannice’s genuine care for animals, her ability to adapt, and her commitment to their health make her an awesome person to trust with any pet.
