I work at home, so will be present with your dog all day. We will take my daughter to school and then go for a walk together. We’ll then have breakfast and rest, head out again at lunchtime and then again at dinner. We always go for a last little walk around the grounds just before bed.

Safety, trust & environment

We have large grounds, with plenty of areas to sniff and explore. We do doggy things in the evenings and weekends, with country park walks, beach walks and dog park trips. We have a crate if your dog needs alone time and plenty of space and separate rooms. I am confident and happy administering medication and following diet plans where needed. I want your dog to feel as relaxed and happy as possible, so will tailor what we do to their needs and to align with their home schedule.

Pet care experience

I am from a doggy family - we had a boxer, bulldogs, a basset hound and pugs growing up. We also had litters of puppies! Loads of hands on experience with all dogs, big and small! I now have a French bulldog, Louis, who would love some company. Please don’t be put off that I live in an apartment- it’s Thorndon Hall, a listed converted mansion with lovely grounds and backing onto thorndon country park. We are on the top floor penthouses but have a lift, so your dog will get lots of trips downstairs for the toilet and sniffs and lovely walks in the woods. I work from and so am home all day. My partner is around too and my 13 year old daughter will also be on hand to make a fuss. Our dog sleeps in the bed with my daughter or with us, so your dog will also be able to sleep in with us if they’d like. Our dog gets on well with all female dogs. For males, it would be good to have them meet briefly beforehand, just to be sure. He is great with all of the dogs in our family and at his own dog sitters, but unneutured males have been known to make him a bit unsettled.

We were quite nervous about leaving Boo for the first time with a family we didn’t know however Vanessa was very reassuring. Vanessa spoke in a very calming way around Boo and Boo appeared comfortable straight away. I felt confident when leaving Boo with Vanessa and she sent me a lovely little video showing me Boo playing and having fun, which was lovely. When I collected Boo, Vanessa and her husband expressed how much they and their daughter had enjoyed looking Boo and I could see Boo had had a great time too!I I would definitely use Vanessa again and would highly recommend her.

Vanessa is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and treated them like one of her own. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much, Vanessa!
