Hi! I'm Yulia, 29 y.o., for 25 of which I've been in love with nature and animals (the first four probably too, I just can barely remember anything). Growing up in a family that always had all sorts of kettle and birds (from pet parrots to chickens, ducks and geese, to cows and goats) AND a dog, I developed a deep understanding of animals' needs and behaviour. Later on I dived even deeper, pursuing a biological degree and raising and training two english cockers of my own (one of them having anxiety & reactivity issues). Equestrian sports helped me to develop a keen eye for body language and gave me yet another perspective on practices that work better for establishing a strong bond with any gentle (and easily spooked) animal. After moving to the Netherlands I've began to dog sit for friends of mine and thought - why not to become a professional dog sitter? So if you're looking for someone gentle, caring, attentive to details and experienced with all sorts of situations at any age of your dog - I'd be happy to help you! I'd be thrilled to care for: - a puppy (but preferrably no long-term sitting, because I believe that's the best and most precious time to bond with your new pup!); - any adult dog (with the only exception for giants - I'm not sure about my physical capability of handling them) with any special needs (diet-, activity-, behaviour- (to an extent), health-related ones); - a senior dog (with patience to slow tempo walkies and any health issues). I'm offering: - walks; - daily visits; - staying at your place in a well-known environment that is comfortable for your dog; - as an extra - grooming procedures (trimming, bathing), especially if you have an english cocker and a set of tools at home (with exception of nails trimming); - lots of treats, fun, hugs and love!
