Paws On A Journey

Cannot express just how grateful we are for Vanessi’s care of our pup! He is a an emotionally charged (aka needy) guy who wouldn’t do well in a typical kennel setting but thrives with her. She ensures the dogs in her care are given lots of love and attention as well as exciting adventures and lots of exercise and mental stimulation. So much easier to leave him knowing he is having a great time and is comfortable in his "home away from home".

I cannot say enough amazing things about Vanessi! From the moment she met my dog Winston, it was clear she had a true gift with animals. Winston absolutely LOVES Vanessi (sadly I think he loves her more than me). She has a clam kind energy that resonates with Winston. Vanessi has been my go-to dog walker and sitter for several months and I trust her completely. She is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure Winston gets the attention, exercise, and love he needs. Whether it’s a long walk in the park, playtime, or an overnight stay, she keeps me updated with messages, photos and notes that give me peace of mind. What sets Vanessi apart is her genuine care, not just for dogs, but for pet owners too. She is thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly attentive. Winston absolutely adores her and so do I! I am so lucky to have found Vanessi’s and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Vanessi is absolutely wonderful! She is very professional and trust worthy, but most importantly truly loves animals. Vanessi is very flexible and easy to communicate way. My dog loves her and eagerly waits for her walk. I am grateful to have found Vanessi and Paws On A Journey! Highly recommend.

We couldn't be happier with Vanessi's amazing pet services. Not only is she warm and welcoming, trustworthy, responsible and dependable but our dog Koda LOVES when we tell her Vanessi is coming to pick him up for a play date. Putting the trust of your beloved family in someone else's hands, even the furry ones, is not always easy... but Vanessi has made our busy days effortless by removing the huge responsibility of caring for our precious boy, ensuring he is well walked and socialized and played with. We highly recommend Vanessi to anyone looking for a little help for their special fur babes... she is so loving and caring and sends photos of every walk she takes!!

Vanessi is an absolute gem of a pet sitter in Calgary. I entrusted my two furry companions to her care for a 10-day period, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Throughout their stay, Vanessi kept us consistently informed, sharing delightful updates through videos and messages. It was evident that she not only took them for regular walks but also showered them with genuine affection. What sets Vanessi apart is her unwavering love for dogs. My pets returned home with cheerful spirits, mirroring their usual behavior, indicating that they felt genuinely welcomed and exceptionally well-cared-for. After a previous unfortunate experience elsewhere, finding someone who treats my dogs as family was paramount, and Vanessi surpassed that requirement with flying colors. Vanessi, I cannot express my gratitude enough for the love and exceptional care you provided. Your dedication makes you the best dog sitter in my eyes, and I wouldn't entrust my dogs to anyone else. Thank you for creating a home away from home for them!

Vanessi is wonderful with Our Ella and reliable with our flip flop schedule without having to confirm every week. We love the report and pictures daily. Thank you so much and means a lot to us!

Vanessi um amor como sempre. Cuidou do Luiggi com todo carinho do mundo. Luiggi adora ficar com a tia Vanessi. Ele sempre se diverte por lá ❤️
