Pet care experience

Dog/cat enthusiast

Pet Care Experience I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 16 years, caring for my beloved papillon, Terri. Through years of caring for my own pet and pet-sitting for friends and family, I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you’re away. I offer long walks up to three times a day—morning, midday, and late afternoon—as well as house-sitting services in the local area. I take the time to learn your pet’s routines, habits, and favorite activities so they can stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾

We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog during an extended stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that our dog was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book Vanessa again and highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

In My Home: I ensure my space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for play and relaxation. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding times and walks . I also keep fresh water available at all times and monitor for any signs of discomfort or illness. In Clients’ Homes: I follow the specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, which includes feeding schedules, preferred activities, and any medications. I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine to minimize stress. I also provide regular updates to the owner, sharing photos and messages to keep them informed.

A typical day

I’ll bring out toys for fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive games that match the pet’s energy level and preferences. Some pets love a good cuddle session, and I’m always happy to provide that calm time.
