About Greta

Hi there! I'm Greta, a software developer who lives in Altrincham, just south of Manchester. I grew up with love for all sorts of pets: dogs, cats, reptiles or farm animals. The only reason I do not have a pet right now is because me and my partner are waiting until we settle down and buy our own house!

A while ago I started using BorrowMyDoggy and had lots of experience with dogs of various size and age. The sits varied from several hours long to up to a month. I fell in love with dog cuddles in the morning and sunny walks during lunch, and now am a good friend with four local dog owners whose dogs I take care of regularly.

Later on I heard about TrustedHouseSitters app and started using it as well. I have done many house sits so far which have its own perks, like letting me travel around the world and see many places which wouldn't naturally come to mind!

My partner, who lives with me, is called Rob. He grew up in a rural farm with many animals like dogs, cats, pigs, horses, etc. He works remotely as a cyber security consultant and loves having pets over, or traveling around and taking care of them from a temporary home.

We are an active couple and love hiking so your dog will get lots of walkies! Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to have a chat anytime!

< 5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
All work I've done was voluntary - looking after dogs and cats. Some dogs had behavioural issues which I was made familiar with, as well as how to tackle it: - barking/whining when there's something a dog wants - other unwanted behaviour: scratching, licking face, taking an object in mouth, etc. - recall training - training for commands (sit, lie, stay, etc) I looked after some rescue dogs and each was different. Some had anxiety and separation issues, some had trust issues. Each one required different approaches which me and my partner learnt successfully. I have been taking care of dogs for the past two years, while had cats around while growing up my whole life. My partner grew up in a farm with dogs and cats so he is even more experienced than me! Rob helped me a great deal when I started off taking care of pets.
