Paws In Motion @ Bukit Timah

Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I’m a freelancer in the media industry. The great thing about being a freelancer is that it allows me the opportunity to pursue my passion with dogs when I have downtime.

Personally, being around dogs brings me a lot of joy and comfort. I enjoy dedicating time to spend with animals because during that period my focus is on them and they have my undivided attention. It’s a good way to be away from all forms of digital distractions.


I work adhoc at a doggy daycare and used to volunteer at a dog shelter for 5 years.

Both have taught me the proper ways to approach and handle dogs of different temperaments. When I was a volunteer, I helped to rehome a few dogs to loving and wonderful adopters. This has taught me the importance of trust and open communication.

I have also fostered a shelter dog for a period of 6 months before he got adpoted. While fostering, I did my best to get him assimilated to life in a house.

I understand the importance of physical and mental stimulation for a dog therefore I enjoy taking the dogs out for long walks (if they are able to handle it).

Rest assured I will take good care of your pet. (:
I love that each dog has a different personality. The work is always interesting without a dull moment!
