About Vanessa
Growing up with pets of all kinds — from birds and rabbits to cats and dogs — has given me hands-on experience and a deep, genuine love for animals. I have always been involved in their daily care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and providing comfort and reassurance. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in the UK, where I learned how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I am calm, patient, and attentive, especially with pets who may be nervous, shy, or need extra time to feel safe and comfortable.
I share my home with my own dog, a well-behaved and friendly Maltese Shih Tzu who loves the beach, parks, and relaxed outdoor time. We go out regularly for walks, play, and enrichment, but we also enjoy quiet moments to rest and unwind. Visiting pets will always be introduced carefully and respectfully to ensure everyone feels at ease.
I offer a safe, clean, and pet-friendly apartment environment with close supervision throughout the day. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I tailor each day to suit your pet’s individual routine — including feeding schedules, walks, naps, playtime, and any special requirements. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and make sure each one receives individual attention, affection, and enrichment.
Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, respect established routines, and can administer medication if required. I’m also happy to accommodate fussy eaters, special diets, or additional care needs. In case of an emergency, I act quickly and responsibly and will always keep owners informed.
I truly treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, patience, cuddles, and plenty of spoiling (within reason!). Owners can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring, capable, and loving hands, receiving attention, comfort, and companionship from both me and my pup 🐶
