I'm a Swedish dancer who has moved to Amsterdam for work, fell in love with the city and stayed with my fiancé. I speak beginner Dutch and love to practice on a daily basis!
Grew up with a Samoyed dog and for fun volunteered as a "missing child" in several rescue dogs trainings and competitions. When I was a teenager we took care of a German shepherd, who had socializing problems. I was dog walking Labradors and English Staffordshire during my three years at university and I have taken care of many different dogs in Amsterdam. We live on ground floor and have a little garden. Since I'm a dancer who travels a lot my lifestyle hasn't allowed me to have my own dog but now I am pregnant and have more time. We don't have any other pets or kids yet.
Trust me, I'm used to any kind of weather since I've been spending countless hours dog walking in Sweden through every season. I will be happy to take your dog on long walks through any rain, snow or sunshine. Amsterdam has great parks and I’m usually spending a lot of time there with the dogs I’m caring for.
If your dog has any specific needs, let me know so that we can find a good solution that fits you. Some dogs are not trained to play with other dogs and I’m perfectly fine to avoid unnecessary confrontations during our walks if requested. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested or have further questions. I always want us to meet before the first booking to see if it is a match :)
everything was great!!!!!
Therese is lovely, punctual, good at communication, and attentive - everything we need in a dog-sitter! She sent a nice photo update and we felt confident leaving our very old dog in Therese's hands.
