Hi! I'm Olivia, a university student originally from Madrid, Spain, now living in London after taking the brave (and sometimes overwhelming) step of moving abroad for my studies. Leaving home wasn't easy, specially knowing that I was leaving behind my favourite thing in the world: my dog. 

Starlet is a miniature schnauzer that came to my life when I was 9 years old. I had dreamt of having a dog for as long as I can remember, and when she came along, I devoted myself to her. Every 7am walk before school, every meal and every cuddle on the sofa, I was there. Caring for her has never been forced on me, I felt it more like a priviledge (to have a dog best friend). 

It may sound weird, but honestly I prefer dogs to people. They have always been my source of comfort and joy, and my friends even say that I've started to look like my dog (which I take as the best compliment ever!). That is why I want to be a pet sitter. Being around dogs fills the space of missing my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone you barely know. But good thing that I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, affection and genuine love. 

P.S.: I love dogs to much that I even have Starlet tattooed on my body, a little reminder of her wherever I go :)
