My name is Jaanika, and I come from a small village in Viljandimaa. I was lucky to spend much of my childhood at my grandparents’ home next door, surrounded by a variety of animals—from horses and cows to dogs, cats, and chickens. That’s probably where my love and empathy for animals began, and ever since, they’ve been a constant part of my daily life. I’ve also had the joy of volunteering with animal welfare organizations, gaining invaluable experience and reaffirming that this is the field where my heart truly belongs.
At home, I have a cat named Potter. He has one eye, three legs, no teeth, and even a missing tip of his ear. But his heart is so big that he trusts us unconditionally. My husband and I are endlessly grateful for him and are committed to giving him the best life possible.
I prefer an active lifestyle and enjoy a variety of sports. So, if your energetic dog needs more than just a walk, I’m happy to take them for a hike or a jog instead!
Vurruvalve provides pet sitting, which can include cat care, dog care, dog walking, feeding a small pet and cleaning its cage, or something else entirely. I emphasize that I only care for pets in their own home environment. This means I do not board pets at my place while you are away, but instead visit them in your home. This approach minimizes stress for your pet.
Pet sitting service covers:
To build mutual trust, I offer a free meet-and-greet for new clients. This means I’ll visit your home at a prearranged time before the pet-sitting period to get to know you and your pet(s). We’ll also discuss everything needed to ensure your pet feels happy and comfortable while you’re away.
Vurruvalve currently operates in Tallinn and Harju County. If you're located in Viljandimaa, feel free to reach out – maybe we can find a solution!
I primarily care for small pets like cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, and birds. However, if you have a more unusual pet—such as reptiles or fish—feel free to reach out! As long as I have the necessary information and instructions, I’m open to helping. The main focus is on meeting the pet's needs. If you’re traveling or away from home for several days, everything should be arranged in advance to ensure the pet's well-being throughout the entire period. For example, dogs typically require more attention and engagement than just 1 hour a day.
No. The price remains the same regardless of the number of pets requiring care.
Yes. I’m happy to care for pets that require medication, injections, or other special treatments. It’s important that your pet is friendly and that I receive clear, detailed instructions from you to ensure proper care.
The meet and greet is primarily about getting to know each other better. Additionally, we sign a contract with all new clients, outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties. If you still feel unsure after the meeting, it’s absolutely okay to decide not to proceed with the service.
No. I only provide care in your pet’s own home. I firmly believe that staying in a familiar environment is the safest and least stressful option for pets. With their usual surroundings and a caring sitter, they can remain relaxed and content while you’re away.
Select your desired care period from the calendar, add your contact details, and wait for my reply. I will respond as soon as possible, usually within a few hours.

Calvin and Kenzo immediately recognized Jaanika as a friend during their first meeting – they sniffed her out and even accepted pets. This gave us complete confidence because animals are excellent judges of character. Jaanika has always inspired trust in me as well. She’s warm, reliable, and visibly responsible.
I especially appreciate the photos she always sends of the boys – no one else does it quite like her!
We’ve trusted Jaanika to care for our cat multiple times, whether for short trips or longer holidays. She always does a great job, ensuring our cat is well-fed, entertained, and happy.
Knowing Jaanika is looking after him gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommend her!
Balancing work, family, and other responsibilities often makes it hard to find time for a long walk with our dog. Jaanika always steps in joyfully – not only walking Lota but sometimes even taking her for a jog, which suits our energetic beagle perfectly.
We’re incredibly grateful to have someone we can trust with our dog!
Jaanika has a special vibe with animals and truly understands them. It’s evident in how she cares for her own cat and how she’s volunteered to help stray cats. She knows how to read an animal and respond to their needs.
I trust Sammy with her completely, knowing he’s in the best possible hands!
