Pet care experience

Providing care for your furry friends 🐾🐈🐕

Hi, I’m Vanessa, I live in Fulford, York with my husband Chris and our three beautiful and caring boys aged 7, 7 and 4. Caring for other peoples pets is something me and my children love to do. We began our pet-care journey in 2021, providing boarding, walking and daycare for many different breeds of dogs along with house visits for cats and rabbits. We also care for my parents and sister’s pets on a regular basis. We have a large fenced garden perfect for running around, lots of green spaces close to the house and a large playroom providing a cool, quiet place out of the sun. My children love animals and one day we will get a pet of our own, but for now we would love nothing more than to care for yours. Thank you for checking out my profile, have a great day.

Ruby had a lovely over night stay with Vanessa and family. She’s previously enjoyed day care with them. She enjoyed lots of walks and attention from Vanessa’s boys. She didn’t want to come home! Updates were shared throughout. She’s looking forward to another stay in a month!

We approached Vanessa at late notice ass our usual sitter cancelled and I was going to be in town for work so needed Gary cared for. They have a lovely home and were super welcoming when I arrived after a long drive. I would really recommend and will be using Vanessa whenever I am in town. The constant pictures and videos of our happy little boy showed their family offered him nothing but love over the 3 nights he was there.

Since our initial conversations with Vanessa we knew that our Nellie would have a great time with her and her family! Vanessa is so passionate about providing the best care for dogs. She was so flexible with us and gave us such detailed updates whilst she had our dog. Thank you so much- Nellie had a ball!!
