Availability

I work from home a few days a week and am in the office a few days a week but with a little notice I can be flexible with this. I’m also happy to set up a regular arrangement, the easiest currently would be to dog sit on Weds or Thurs but as I said flexibility is possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a modern apartment on the third floor with a balcony and I’m within walking distance of Tooting Common so plenty of opportunity for walks in nature. Your dog is welcome to make themselves comfortable in my home while I’m working, and if I’m dogsitting over the weekend happy to do lots of walks in the local area. I am a big fan of cuddly dogs so they’re welcome on the sofa and on my bed for lots of fuss and affection.

Kind Londoner seeking Dogs to care for!

Pet care experience

*Based in Streatham Hill * I’ve been a lifelong fan of animals ranging from cats and dogs to rabbits. Over the last few years I’ve looked after the same few dogs regularly, from dog walks to boarding and overnight stays. I’ve also looked after several other cockapoos, cavapoos, daschunds, cocker spaniels, labradors, pugs and pomeranians. I really enjoy caring for these amazing animals as if they are my own and forming a real bond over time adds joy to my life!

We regularly use Vanessa to take care of our Teddy, and she is absolutely amazing. We have complete peace of mind when he is with her.

Vanessa was wonderful , I am so greatful we managed to find her so last minute. My miniature Dachshund Bruno was clearly so happy and well cared for when I picked him up. He looked very much at home from the picture updates 📸

Thanks so much Vanessa for looking after Luna super last minute! We couldn’t have asked for Luna to have a better person to look after her and we loved the pictures and updates along the way. We were very reassured she was in good hands xx
