Pet care experience

Since I was a child I had pets

I’ve been caring for pets since I was young and have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.”

House Sitting • Jul 19, 2026

After being let down by two previous dog sitters Vanessa was great, she is reliable, took great care of our Labrador and took her out for walks, sent pics and videos of her playing so we knew all was well. Highly recommended!

Vanessa had my dog Banshee at short notice, I was a bit anxious as banshee hadn't got on well in kennels in the past. Vanessa was kind enough to meet banshee before she looked after her and we had a good conversation about her routine. Banshee had a really good stay with Vanessa and was really calm when I collected her. Vanessa kept me updated the whole time I was away. I would recommend her!

Vanessa has looked after my three Australian Shepherds on several occasions, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She has stayed overnight in my home, taken them on regular walks, and made sure they were well cared for at all times. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely adore her, which speaks volumes about the way she treats them. I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Vanessa provides a truly professional and trustworthy service, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable to look after their pets.

Vanessa has looked after my Jack Russell Sailor a few times now and I can't recommend her enough. She has built such a loving rapport with Sailor. Sailor is always very excited whenever Vanessa sits her. From the start, Vanessa h as listened to what Sailor's needs are and she has been a trustful and reliable sitter. Vanessa is very kind with Sailor and has listened to what her needs were. Vanessa is always punctual and Sailor loves her - you won't get a better sitter!.

Vanessa did an excellent job looking after my rabbit and cat while I was away. She kept me informed at all times, which gave me great peace of mind, and made sure they were well cared for—including taking them out around Northstowe. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with access to my home, which says a lot. Thank you so much for your care and professionalism—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I can host small, calm animals in my home. For medium and large dogs, I'm happy to provide care in the owner's home. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, following their routine and needs.

A typical day

I like to create a routine according to what the animal likes. It usually includes light walks and with games, food according to your schedule and affection. I also make sure they have time to rest and feel comfortable. I adapt activities based on the energy level and personality of each pet, ensuring that they remain happy, active and relaxed."

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any special needs or medical conditions. It’s also important to share information about their behavior, such as how they interact with other animals or if they have any fears. This helps me provide the best and safest care possible.
