How I Care for Pets – At My Home or Yours Whether your pet stays in my cosy Shalford cottage or I’m visiting them in your home, I provide the same high standard of care, love, and attention. In my home, your dog will enjoy a secure garden for safe outdoor play, plenty of cuddles, and a relaxed, homely atmosphere. I work from home full time, so your dog will never be left alone for long and will be part of the family during their stay. Walks, playtime, and rest are all tailored to suit your dog’s routine and personality. In your home, I offer drop-in visits or sitting to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll stick to their normal schedule—feeding, walks, play, and any special care they need—ensuring they feel safe and happy while you’re away. My flexible, pet-first approach means I adapt to each animal’s needs, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, affection, and reliable care.

About Vanessa R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every dog has their own routine, preferences, and personality. Whether it’s walk times, feeding schedules, nap spots, or special quirks—just let me know what your dog is used to, and I’ll make sure to follow it closely. My goal is to provide consistent, comforting care so your dog feels happy, safe, and right at home with me.
Home
Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best possible care, it’s helpful to know their routine, likes and dislikes, energy level, and any medical needs or allergies. Please let me know about their temperament—how they are with other dogs, people, or cats—as well as any triggers or fears (e.g., loud noises, separation anxiety, or certain behaviors). The more I know about your pet’s personality and preferences, the more I can tailor their care to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and stimulated! We’ll enjoy scenic walks, playtime in the garden, games like fetch or tug, cuddle time, enrichment toys, and plenty of attention tailored to your pet’s energy and personality. Whether it’s a calm stroll or a lively ball-chasing session, your pet’s happiness and comfort always come first.

Pet care experience
Loving Care for Your Pets in Shalford With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I offer reliable dog walking, sitting, and drop-in services tailored to your pet’s needs. I share my cosy Shalford cottage with my beloved cocker spaniel—who adores other dogs (and his ball!)—and our friendly cat, who keeps a watchful eye on all the fun. Whether your dog enjoys group walks or prefers solo strolls, I can accommodate. I also offer home boarding while you’re away—your pup will be cared for like family. Working from home full time means I’m always around to give your pet plenty of love, attention, and cuddles.

Reviews

At short notice, Vanessa looked after my new rescue cat for a long day. He adored her and I got updates during the day, showing him content and being cuddled. Given I was a “worried new mum” I had complete peace of mind with Vanessa caring for him. I would thoroughly recommend.

Vanessa was fantastic. Paddy had the best time and I would definitely leave him with her again! ☺️

Can’t recommend enough - Vanessa provided such loving care to Bonnie over a long weekend. Vanessa really took the time to understand her needs and requirements and offers a true home from home experience with lots of adventures too. Thank you 😍🐾
Perfect - Rufus had a great stay with Vanessa - he likes a lot of company and walks and he got both - he came back home so calm and happy - was like leaving him with a trusted friend - thank you!
