My beloved boxer died 10 years ago, since then I wasn't able to adopt another dog, instead I started taking care of other people's pets. I was taking care of cats and dogs adopted from shelters or coming from loving families. Some of the animals were physically impaired or had mental problems caused by trauma, other were just as healthy and full of joy as it gets. I also worked in stables for a couple of years, helping with cleaning, shoeing and training horses. I keep tortoises (you can see my newborn in the photo) which I had to leave with my parents back in my home country. I love mammals and reptiles, but I also worked with fish and birds (no experience with amphibians so far).To add to my practical skills I also finished two courses on animal welfare and behaviour. I love taking long walks to clear up my mind and would be more than happy to take your dog with me. I offer 40 - 60 mins walks in a park and up to 1hr home visits. If needed, I'm happy to spend more time with your pet. All you need to do is ask! Please bear in mind that I work Monday to Friday roughly 10-6pm with some flexibility (also sometimes working from home).
