Testimonials
Vanessa has been walking our two Golden Retrievers for almost two years now and the boys love her! On the days that she comes to walk them, they race to the door to meet her and she always greets them with enthusiasm and excitement. She is happy to see them too.
Vanessa has a very positive approach with the dogs, she is very encouraging and playful, but yet she maintains a strict discipline where it counts. As one of our dogs is still very much a puppy, we have appreciated the advice Vanessa has been able to offer, as well as the training she automatically engages in on their walks.
In recent months, we have been taking the dogs to Vanessa for grooming as well. Vanessa is an outstanding groomer. The boys always come home looking neat, with a shiny coat and smelling so good! And of course, they are always happy to get to spend one-on-one time with her, as she is very special to each of them.
It is without hesitation that I offer a recommendation for Vanessa and her services. She is energetic, positive, dependable and a definite hit with the dogs. Your dog could benefit from some of Vanessa’s ‘puppy love’ too.

Brandy Jordan- Owner of Doggy Steps
It’s been quite wonderful having Vanessa be a part of my dog care routine! I have a mini golden doodle that is 12 months. I got her at 8 weeks and Vanessa started walking her two – three times a week. I was a bit nervous allowing Vanessa to come in my home while at work at first. But as I d come to know her, I have complete trust in her care and love for Willow. She always sends me pictures of her walk and lets me know what happens. She is always prepared for her walks with a treat if needed and a toy. She is very knowledgeable of dogs and has supported me quite a bit through Willow’s first year on issues of behaviour, equipment, food, and grooming ( which I knew nothing). She helps me with that also. When Willow goes to Washin’ & Waggin’ for grooms I know she will be treated with the most care. Vanessa always does a great job and Willow comes back soft and smelling incredible!
I highly recommend !

I brought my dog Rufus to see Vanessa and it was such a great experience for the both of us! She was very professional and had us sign sheets that was very self explanatory and answered all questions we had! During Rufus’s appointment she sent photos of how he was doing and updated us. Overall I recommend Vanessa, so glad we found her!

We took our two dogs to Vanessa to get groomed and bathed when is a young Rottweiler Odin and the other is our 13 year old Yorkiepoo who doesn’t really like to go to the groomers at all. She was great took Aries in and even spent quite a bit of extra time because of his age and him being uncomfortable with the whole process. She made him comfortable and did a great job with him and Oden, who is a very big boy 120 pounds she had no problem with him.
Couldn’t recommend Vanessa enough. She did an amazing job on both our dogs and asks a lot of questions and really makes the dogs feel comfortable, and at ease.
