About Vanessa

From my earliest memories, dogs have been an irreplaceable part of my life, their presence woven into the very fabric of my identity. My love for these four-legged companions is not merely an interest, but an undeniable passion that has shaped who I am today. Over the years, I have been privileged to extend my love for dogs into a fulfilling vocation—engaging in pet-sitting, training, and grooming of numerous canines from diverse breeds and backgrounds.

Not only is my affection for dogs a personal sentiment, but it is also backed by professional credentials. I hold a certification in dog training, a qualification that allows me to offer a comprehensive suite of services to your cherished pet, ranging from basic obedience to advanced skills and behavioral adjustments. This ensures that your dog will receive not just emotional nourishment, but also intellectual and physical stimulation under my care.

Recently, I have embarked on a new chapter of my life by moving to New Zealand. While this journey is incredibly exciting, it has temporarily separated me from my own canine companion who currently resides in Canada. As he makes the transition to join me, I find myself yearning for the comforting presence of dogs. It would bring me immense joy to offer my services to pet owners here, providing me with the invaluable opportunity to be around these lovable creatures during this period of personal transition.

Whether your fur baby is a petite poodle or a towering Great Dane, rest assured that I am well-equipped to handle dogs of all sizes—small to large breeds. Each dog that comes into my care will be showered with the same affection, attention, and devotion that I would bestow upon my own.

In entrusting your beloved canine to me, you can be confident that he or she will be lavished with all the love and care they deserve, in a safe, nurturing environment. It would be my honor to offer you and your pet the level of quality service you both deserve.

Home:

We live in a 4 bedroom house, detached and with a backyard. We have parks close by and lots of time and space to care for your fur baby.

Vanessa and her family were so amazing with Kemba (my crazy staffy)

He hadn’t stayed at a strangers home since he was a puppy, and the updates and photos I received during his weekend away completely put my mind at ease.

He came home a very happy, tired boy :)

We will definitely reach out next time we need a dog sitter!
