About Vanessa

Hi there! I am a reliable, active, and mature 30-year-old Physiotherapy student. I grew up in a house full of animals, including dogs (Shiba Inu, Pomeranian, German Shepherd, Rottweiler mix), cats, birds, a Bearded Dragon, hamsters, toads, and aquarium fish. I am also an experienced puppy foster volunteer! I miss the companionship of my own furry pets when I am away for school, which is why I love dedicating my spare time to keeping your dogs and cats happy, healthy, and safe! I also love staying highly active - outside of school, you can usually find me hiking, bouldering, or skiing. What My Services Include: Dog Walking: My standard rate covers a focused 30-minute walk in your neighbourhood. High-Energy Jog/Run (30 mins): Base rate + $10 extra (manually adjusted before booking) Extended Hour Session (60 mins walk/run mix): Base rate + 60% extra. If your dog has high energy and you prefer an extended 60-minute walk, I am happy to accommodate this (manually adjusted). Home Drop-In Visits: Each visit lasts 30 to 45 minutes. This includes refreshing food and water, cleaning the litter box, administering any required medications, and ensuring plenty of dedicated play, cuddles, and photo updates so you can check in! Practical Details & Boundaries: As a student I have a very flexible schedule. To ensure I can arrive promptly and give your pets my full attention, I primarily service neighbourhoods within a 10-minute drive of my location. I hold a current BLS (CPR) certificate and a cleared police background check (CRC/VSC) for your complete peace of mind.
