Pet care experience

Dog sitter/walker with over 25 years experience

Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I have been looking after dogs for over 25 years. I have owned 7 dogs in my life and had my own dog boarding business that offered a home to home setting for dogs for 10 years whilst living abroad in France. Now being back in the UK, I want to continue offering my services for any dog owner that’s in need. I have always believed that a dog should be cared for equally to the rest of the family and therefore should be treated exactly that way. Dogs are what I know best and love the most so I’m very happy to take care of them. I am also a passionate walker and having a companion is always a great pleasure.

Vanessa looked after my two dogs for me whilst I went away for 4 days. I was nervous because I hadn’t left them before but Vanessa was great; she communicated well, sent me pictures and updates daily and I knew they were in great hands. She left my house pristine when I returned and I could tell my pups were happy and content. Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa agreed to help us out with very little notice. Everything was smooth from start to finish. George took to Vanessa immediately, and had a lovely day with lots of walks. Both myself and my partner received regular updates and photos of George throughout the day and she really put our minds at ease. Thank you, Vanessa!

Schedule

I do not work so I am able to offer full time care and attention to your pets. I have the time to care for dogs who are needing specific attention or have specific needs. I have an enclosed garden so I can always let them out as frequently as needed. I have lots of fields and forests nearby so I can offer lovely walks when needed. This is my full time job so I am able to ensure your dog gets the best care.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer a home to home feeling for your dog. I believe it is important that your dog feels relaxed and at home when they come to stay. Every dog has his/her own needs so in order to make sure they feel settled, I am happy to go through anything they might need to feel more secure.
