About Vanessa

Are you looking for someone who will love your fur babies JUST as much as you do? You' ve come to the right place!

My name is Vanessa and I have 6 years experience working with dogs. I have worked with all dog breeds, and no dog is too big or small! I have worked in kennels, daycares and I also walk dogs. I have experience in training and a good understanding of canine behaviour.

I own a furry companion named Sadie as you may have guessed from my photos she is the love of my life 💖 Sadie was a rehome and from the moment we met I knew she was special. We have worked on a lot of training together and she is a social butterfly 🦋 

I understand that finding the right sitter can be stressful at times, after all you are trusting someone in your home and with your fur baby. Rest assured I will do everything in my power to make you and your pet feel at ease.

Aside from dogs I have also grown up with rabbits and cats so I am also happy to care for them as well 🐈 🐰 

I am happy to pet sit over night with or without Sadie. As this will be at your home the choice is completely up to you. I will also be available during the day to check in on pets, or if you would like your dog walked we can go on an adventure together out in nature (LOTS of photos included) 🌲 🏝️

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have worked with all types of dog breeds, from Great Danes to chihuahuas and everything in between. I am confident around all breeds of dog. I have experience in dog behaviour. However I will need to meet your dog/pet in person for an assessment before accepting a job. I have helped train dogs for over 5 years. I have worked in doggy daycares, kennels, dog walked/sat etc I have met a wide range of canines in that time, so I have plenty of experience with dogs. My own dog is a rehome/rescue and she has come so far in these 5 years as well. I am also confident around felines as well as I have grown up around cats. If your cat is a “feed it and leave it” type or a cuddle bunny I am more than happy to help out there as well. I understand how important it is that you can trust your sitter, So I am more than happy to meet you for a coffee and a chat.
