Hello, and thank you for stopping by! 🙂I love caring for animals because I think (or perhaps feel) that I have always had a special connection with animals, one which makes me feel calm and happy. That's why I share my home with three rescues of my own: a big Rottweiler (around 45kg) who turned out to be a dog-reactive boy, as well as two cats I took in more than 10 years ago. Living with a dog with clear boundaries has taught me knowledge that I would bring to every booking: every animal is an individual, with their own needs, fears, and ways of trusting people. Therefore, I wouldn't expect your pet to fit around me; I would instead learn their routine and adapt to their personality ૮₍ ´˶• ᴥ •˶` ₎ა. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats, mostly as part of my family. My parents and I used to rescue dogs off the streets of Romania, but we mostly found them homes. Our family doggo was a sausage who lived to be 16; she was called Lady. I like to think she, all in all, had a good life. I have a desk job, which is exactly why I wish to look after other pets; I want to be outside or out of the house more, and I'm lucky enough to have a field about 500 meters from my house, and a forest about 700 meters from my door, so your dog would get real walks in real nature rather than the same block every time. In terms of cats, I love a cuddle or a little run around! ≽(◉˕ ◉ ≼マ I can also drive, depending on the size of the dog, as I have a little VW Polo. Practical details and availability: Dog walking — solo, preferably, until I learn about your doggie and how they behave around other doggies; we don't want any surprises! A standard walk runs about 45-60 minutes through the nearby field and forest, with shorter 20-30 minute options for senior, young, or low-energy dogs. Low-level training — if you prefer that your dog learns more about lead walking indoors, or you want them to learn a trick or two, I can do that for senior, young, or low-energy dogs that only want short walks of around 20 minutes. I can use the rest of the 20 minutes to work on something else. My dog, Max, knows 10 different tricks (i.e., paw, other paw, orbit, weave, between) Drop-in visits for cats and dogs — roughly 30-45 minutes at your home: feeding, fresh water, litter or toileting, playtime, and pure company so your pet isn't alone all day. Who I care for: I'm mostly experienced with dogs and cats, so they're who I feel most comfortable with. I'm genuinely happy to learn about other animals too; just tell me about yours, and we'll see if it's a good fit. Good to know Because my own dog is reactive, I don't board animals at my home. All walks and visits happen out and about (i.e., on the field around where I live) or at your place, where your pet feels safest. I am flexible in terms of my schedule, so I'm glad to talk it through. Comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, including bigger and stronger dogs. I just ask that you're absolutely upfront about any reactivity, health issues, or special handling so I can do right by them from day one! I treat every animal the way I'd want mine treated: patiently, attentively, and as the individual they are.
