Annachiara

Ciao there! I am Italian, and I live in S7, Sheffield. I could host pets here although it's less stressful normally for them not to move, so I would normally come to yours to look after them. 🙂 My mom is an Italian traditional crazy cat lady 🤌🤌🤌 😸😼and I miss the cats so much!! I am looking into becoming a cat behaviourist one day as I simply cannot escape the cat lady DNA and I'm now embracing it! My family dog Billie left us in 2018 after leading a happy and fun life in Italy, and I miss him every day. My partner has a cheeky white Maremmano retriever called Boris (not that Boris!) who is the sweetest clumsiest mess 😍😍 but he's in Italy as well! I love animals and I honestly believe that there is a lot they can teach us in their pure and genuine way. Pawshake has allowed me to enlarge the circle of pet lovers I knew and make up for the time I miss my pets at home 🏠 I have met some really wonderful people here and had the privilege to get to know the Sheffield animals' community too!

When I arrived in Sheffield in 2016, I had already been petsitting for a while in my hometown, taking care of many different kinds of dogs and cats. Back home I was already in touch with pet behaviourists and vets, and although they were pretty helpful with teaching me a few things, I never stop learning and improving my ability to interpret our pets' behaviours as every single one is different. My parents have a little farm back home as well, so I have been dealing with rabbits, birds, sheep, turtles, and chickens as well since I was a kid ☺️I miss them too 🥲

I currently work hybrid, so the only request I have my end is being able to work for them as well with the appropriate means (e.g.wifi and stable connection,being able to bring my monitor and laptop) if you need me to stay at yours overnight or all day. 

Thanks all! 😺🐶
