I’m a retired Marine, so I’m home most days. I have the occasional appointment, daily household trips, but no animal in my care is left alone for very long.

Information Vanya T. would like to know about your pet

If there are any pre-existing conditions. There hasn't been any pup or critter I can't take on. I just need to know what I'm working with. Whether it's medical conditions, aggression, shyness, or anything else, I can help, but only if I know what to anticipate!

A typical day

I live on a small hobby farm with PLENTY of space. Walks are completed either on the roadways surrounded by nature or, for the more rugged pup, on our nature trails. I offer a filtered water station, all the toys they could hope for and complimentary treats for all my littles!! In addition to walks, pups who stay with me have the option of going to a dog park, playing fetch, socializing with other friendly pups, grooming, and so on! There is no limit to the fun we will have!

Vet Tech, Trainer, & Experiance!

Pet care experience

I have several years of experience with training and animal care from working as a foster, a rehaber, and as a Veterinary tech! I love animals of every kind and I am prepared to handle the most difficult cases. I am available most days from 6am to 9pm. I have a Rescue pup of my own. Any additional requests for care of exotic animals will always be welcome so long as you can show me your routines. As a long time pet owner myself, I know all pets are part of the family and I promise they will get plenty of pampering and love while in my care!

Vanya was perfect! From the initial booking to the end of the stay, she was great! She took pictures and videos and kept me informed of how my Rosie was doing. My dog looked so happy too! Highly recommend Vanya for your pets daycare!

WOW!!! Vanya made us feel comfortable to leave our two fur babies with her right from the moment we got out of the car. Better yet, she made our boys feel welcome and safe to the point that I don't think they even realized we had left. The pictures and videos she sent us during their 3 day stay shoed us how much fun they were having. They had so much fun that when we took them back to camp, they slept most of the first day back. If we ever get back up to Sault St Marie, we will definitely have the boys stay with her for a couple of days so we can get out and play tourist. We love our dogs like they are our children but Vanya provided a comforting place for them to stay while we saw they sights at the Soo Locks and Whitefish Bay Shipwreck Museum. Thanks so much Vanya for such a great experience. You have set the bar high for future Rover stays!

Yanya was great to work with as we needed dog care for our Goldendoodle at our campsite while we enjoyed a 10-hour train ride into ONT. Yanya was responsive, on-time, spent the entire hour with the dog walking and playing with her, and sent some great pictures/videos. I would definitely use her again if needed while in the area!
