Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal-Lover Looking to care for your lovely pet!
What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience in providing dedicated, attentive care. I work from home as a software engineer, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to your dog’s needs throughout the day. With a year’s experience looking after dogs, I’ve developed a true passion for it and find it incredibly rewarding. Living in my own flat near multiple parks, I love going for walks and would happily take your dog along for plenty of outdoor adventures. My background includes 15 years as a cat owner, which taught me the importance of consistent care and love for animals. I’ve also a years experience dog sitting. In a couple of years, I hope to have a dog of my own, but for now, I’d love the opportunity to give your beloved pet the same love and attention they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Vanessa is a lovely lady that knows how to treat your dog. We were away for 4 days and she really gave us peace of mind!!
Vanessa was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Rex. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so much easier for us. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which was really reassuring. It was clear that Rex was not only well looked after, but truly happy and comfortable the entire time. He settled in so well with her, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Very flexible and reliable. Will definitely use her services again.
I recently boarded my dog, Rocky, with Vanessa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.Vanessa provided frequent updates on Rocky's well-being, which kept me at ease while I was away.
Larry was very well looked after and came home very happy. Vanessa was extremely nice and very helpful. Will definitely use again.
Vanessa was able to help us out in a pinch and could not have been more lovely! Extremely communicative and went out of her way to make our pups comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!

Schedule
Pet care would fit seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home as a software engineer, I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day, which would allow me to give your dog attention, regular walks, and playtime. Living near multiple parks means I can easily incorporate outdoor walks into my schedule, providing your pet with plenty of fresh air and exercise. My workday is structured but flexible, so I can adjust feeding times, walks, or other needs to match your dog’s routine. Whether it’s offering companionship during the day or making sure they’re well cared for in the evening, I’d be able to give your pet plenty of time and attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My flat is a very safe and secure environment for your dog. With no open access to busy roads and windows that can be securely locked, there's no risk of accidental escapes. I would ensure that the dog stays in designated, pet-friendly areas within the flat where they can comfortably relax or play without getting into anything potentially harmful. I’m also mindful of keeping doors closed and would make sure that anything unsafe—like cables or small objects—is out of reach. Your dog's safety is my top priority, and I’d always supervise them to ensure they are comfortable and protected in my home.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog would be filled with fun and care. We’d start the morning with a refreshing walk in one of the nearby parks, allowing your dog to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the day, since I work from home, I’d take regular breaks to check in, give belly rubs, or offer a cosy spot beside me while I work. Lunchtime would bring another walk or a bit of outdoor play, giving your dog a change to stretch their legs. In the afternoon, we’d have more relaxed downtime while I get some work done. Later, we’d head out for an evening stroll. The day would end with some quiet time and plenty of cuddles, making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved.
