I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m patient, attentive, and know to adapt to each dog’s personality. They will be another family member chillin at home. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. From my side: 1. I can easily accommodate medium to small sized dogs, pups to adults. Older dogs are especially very welcome. 2. Available Mon-Fri and most weekends. Ideally, Day care is 8am - 5pm | Boarding 12pm - 12pm. 3. I can offer short stays, cuddles, and 20-30 min walks 3 times a day, morning, noon and late evening /or tuned to their schedule. 4. I need to know in advance if your pet has any medical issues or allergies and if any special care is required. I am very disciplined with dog diet and will only give them what they are allowed to eat.

In case there are, 1. Triggers to surroundings 2. Any medical issues or allergies 3. if any special care is required. I am very disciplined with dog diet and will only give them what they are allowed to eat.

A typical day

We play fetch, tug of war, tackle and chase and check out new smells and have socials at the parks nearby. I will have them off-leash only if I am confident with their recall ability.

Pet care experience

Hi. I'm Vanessa. I'm a Cork city apartment based person and live with my husband, Samvit. We are both massive dog lovers. We often care for our friend's beagle while she's away. I have grown up raising dogs, budgerigars, aquarium fish, and farm animals in India, and am looking to reestablish that bond and responsibilty here in Ireland. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m patient, attentive, and know to adapt to each dog’s personality. They will be another family member chillin at home. My woof - besties through childhood were German shepherds, daschund and several Indian mongrel rescues, including Tasha who had 8 puppies all given away to beautiful homes with beautiful people. I offer a warm, attentive, and safe environment for your pets. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re apart. From my side: 1. I can easily accommodate medium to small sized dogs, pups to adults. Older dogs are especially very welcome. 2. Available Mon-Fri and most weekends. Ideally, Day care is 8am - 5pm | Boarding 12pm - 12pm. 3. I can offer short stays, cuddles, and 20-30 min walks 3 times a day, morning, noon and late evening /or tuned to their schedule. 4. I need to know in advance if your pet has any medical issues or allergies and if any special care is required. I am very disciplined with dog diet and will only give them what they are allowed to eat. Just pop me a message if you have any request and I'll try and help! * I do a meet and greet so that your pet gets to assess me in front on you.

I can absolutely positively say that there’s no one I know or have ever known who loves animals the way Vanessa does. From small little ones like insects and rodents to the bigger ones like elephants and horses, she has the kind of affection and love towards them seldom seen in other humans. And, I can assure you, animals know this and flock towards her. Let’s talk about dogs now. Vanessa grew up surrounded by dogs. She knows them in and out. She knows what every tail twitch means and what they’re trying to say with every whine. She’s incredibly kind, loving, and responsive. She, in fact, talks to dogs and dogs seem to understand every word she says - even if they aren’t her dogs. She understands them and is respectful of their presence and space and the furry buddies appreciate that too. She understands that there’s no on-size-fits-all for dogs and adjusts her approach to suit every personality type. She’s committed to being their buddy when their owners aren’t around. She’s committed to taking care of them and loving them just how an owner would so that they don’t feel the absence. She’s committed to ensuring that they feel they’re on a vacation themselves while their owners are on one! I would absolutely entrust my little furry babies with Vanessa. She’s amazing at what she does and there’s no doubt that she’s the best carer there is.
