Janet Han Vissering

Janet Han Vissering’s career is basically a wild ride through the animal kingdom on TV. She’s got her fingerprints all over some of the standout docuseries that animal lovers binge hard. Heartland Docs, DVM? That show’s like comfort food for anyone obsessed with pets and small-town charm—basically, it follows two veterinarians who patch up everything from puppies to cows in rural Nebraska, and Vissering is behind the scenes making sure it’s not just heartwarming, but genuinely real. Then you’ve got Dr. K's Exotic Animal E.R.—now, if you’re into weird pets (think: hedgehogs, parrots, sugar gliders, and the occasional iguana on the loose), this show is where it’s at. Vissering’s touch keeps it both chaotic and fun, and honestly, half the appeal is just watching Dr. K and her crew try to wrangle animals that most people can barely pronounce. Looking ahead, she’s attached to Ocean with David Attenborough, which is kind of a big deal because, well, it’s David Attenborough, right? The series promises epic visuals and that signature Attenborough narration, diving deep into the mysteries of the ocean. Vissering’s knack for balancing science, drama, and those “aww” moments means you’re probably in for gorgeous shots and some real emotional gut-punches. So, yeah, if you’re into animals, medical mysteries, or just want to see the wild world from your couch, her projects are where you want to be. She’s quietly become this powerhouse behind some of TV’s most addictive animal shows.
