About Vanessa

23 years old
I'm fascinated by dog training and especially, both food and toy-driven mental stimulation. I spend a lot of my free time researching and studying various games, activities and products that provide enrichment as well as health dog diets. I'm also familiar with basic dog training. I've taken care of dogs since before I can remember, although I've had none of my own. My friends and family have left me to care for their beloved animals for days to weeks at a time. I can walk up to two dogs at once. In addition to the classic feed and walking time, I'm familiar with bathing pets and basic grooming such as brushing. I currently work a 9–5 p.m. job, so I'm looking to do evening and weekend walks and hikes! I love a good adventure. Free 6 p.m. onwards on weekdays! I am extremely attentive and affectionate as a dog walker and sitter, ensuring that your pup doesn't eat anything they aren't supposed to and giving them a lot of one-on-one attention and pets! I use positive reinforcement and simple training commands such as sit and heel to ensure a positive walking experience for both myself and the dog. I keep a close eye on body language and signs of stress and anxiety.
