Pet care experience

Educated animal lover + carer

I'm a 27 year old who has completed her animal care course. Part of this was an intensive 2 week internship at a doggy day care, where I have learned even more about dogs and their behaviour! Before that I did a 5 month internship at a petting zoo, so I've got experience with all kinds of animals. Ever since I was 4 years old, I have wanted a dog. Finally when I was 19, my parents and I adopted a stray from Spain. It was a challenge to gain her trust and to make her fit in the household but I loved every minute of it. To see how happy she is now and how much love she gives us, just makes my heart jump. Unfortunately my parents didn't allow me to take my dog when I moved out and I miss her very much. I miss dogs in my life right now and my house unfortunately doesn't allow dogs - nor is it very suitable for them. That's why I'd love to make your dog(s) happy instead and give them everything they need! I have also grown up with cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and even stick insects! Besides dogs, I also have experience with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters and fish. So if you would like me to look after any other pets, just message me for the options! I'm based in Thetford so for dog walking or house visits I can do anywhere locally. For house sitting I can do a bit further (within roughly 30 minutes).

Safety, trust & environment

I will adapt how I care for your beloved pet to their own specific needs. Every animal is different and they all have their own routines! Some like all the fusses, and some like to be left alone for a while. I can continue any training if you like as well and go on long walks! (if suitable)

I have had the pleasure of Vera watching our animals on two occasions and can not recommend highly enough

Vera's calm, quiet and consistent approach was just what our young, hyper Vizsla needed. We all felt completely at ease with Vera and we were happy to leave Brindly in her care. We highly recommend Vera.

We absolutely loved having Vera take care of our two dogs and cat! They were so well taken care of and she was so caring towards them. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again. ?

Amazing! Looked after my two crazy dogs and cats for the day/night, and cant fault a single thing! Vera even went out of her way to leave us a little congratulations card to come home to after our wedding! Thank you so much, if ever we need a sitter in the future we wouldnt think twice to book again!

Vera was fantastic. We left the dogs with her overnight in our home. We really appreciated the regular updates. They were both happy and relaxed when we got home. Would absolutely recommend Vera and hope we can book her again.

Vera did an amazing job looking after Lottie and my aunt's dog Mini while we were all at a wedding. She was very flexible on timings and even travelled further than she usually would yo accommodate us. Doggies were very well looked after and we had plenty of photos during the day

I'm working as an outdoor activity instructor, but caring for animals is what I'm really passionate about. So I'm trying to do that on the side whenever I can!

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Vera can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would love to know if they like being pet in any specific areas. If they have any habits I should know of. If they have a problem with other animals/people touching their food. How they normally get on with other dogs and if they know any commands!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
