About Vanessa

Experience:

Growing up, I played with cattle dogs while on holidays in the countryside. I also spent time with my extended family's dogs - a Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel and a Labrador x Sheep Dog, to date.

Today, I regularly look after my friend's dog in London. She is 3-year-old Lagotto Romagnolo (or Italian truffle hunter), and I adore her.

As I love spending time with dogs and cannot have my own at the moment, I'm on this app to care for others' dogs!

Location:

I am based in South West London. I would walk dogs in Hyde Park and/or surrounding neighborhoods.

Availability:

I currently have flexible times (from 9am to 9pm for dog walking).

Services:

* Meet and greet: I would first meet your dog, and discuss his or her habits, preferences, and fears with you, before taking him or her out on my own.

* Dog walking: I would only take one dog out at a time. The duration of the walk depends on your dog's needs, but I would usually walk from 30 minutes to 1 hour in Hyde Park (leashed, unleashed if appropriate, playing ball, and rest outdoors if the day is sunny).

* Home visits: I offer home visits to check on your dog, play with him or her, feed him or her, while you are away. The duration of the home visit would typically be up to 1 hour. I am happy to water your plants then too.

* Dog boarding: I'm happy to board dogs that I get along well with and who are well trained.

* Training: I'm happy participate in your dog's training (and can issue commands in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese).

If you have any questions about my availabilities or experience, feel free to ask!

Vanessa is such a lovely human and she was an amazing caretaker for our pup. She has such a way with training dogs, as well as loving on them as if they were her own!

Dog boarding
Sacha, 2024-08-12

Our 4 year old cockapoo boarded with Vanessa for 19 days over the summer of 2024. We could not have been happier to have found such a loving and caring person to take care of our sweetheart over this extended period. Vanessa’s active lifestyle was great for our dog as she spent hours outside in the park every day which was not only great fun but also kept her fit during her stay. She went over and above on making sure our dog had the best time possible and kept us updated with daily pics highlighting their adventures. We would not hesitate to entrust Vanessa with our dog again should the opportunity arise.
