“A house is not a home without a pet.” ~ Anonymous

Hi, My name is Vanessa!

I am many things to many people – daughter, sister, friend. Now I am hoping to be the person you go to for your house and pet sitting including doggie adventure and moggie play needs ( also known as dog walking and minding your animals ).

I took over Gold Coast Pet Sitting from it’s previous owner in October 2008. Over the course of this time (thanks to my passion and clients!) I was able to build this business to what it is today !

I feel I am reliable, trustworthy, competent and most importantly an avid animal lover ( yes, ALL animals ).

I have been owned by several cats throughout my life ( and “mate” to one dog ). My most recent “owner” is Marnie. I am also a former volunteer  (and foster carer – read how I got Marnie) with the Animal Welfare League Of QLD . I partake in volunteering activities whenever  and wherever possible. I’ve also fostered many kittens in my home through-out my time as a volunteer with the AWL.

YES - I am police checked and my certificate is available for inspection at the meet n greet.

YES - I have current references from current and past clients who have employed my services.

YES - I have Public Liability Insurance

YES – I am a Pet Tech Pet First Aid + CPR Instructor  PTI#1480

(I’m one of only two Pet Tech Pet First Aid and CPR Instructors within Queensland !)

YES - I am a member of Association of Pet Sitting Excellence + Professional United Pet Sitters + Pet Sitters International + Australia and New Zealand Professional Pet Sitting Organisation
