I am an American graduate student here in Amsterdam, missing caring for animals while I am abroad. I have always grown up with dogs and have spent months at a time as the primary/solitary caretaker of dogs of all ages. I am passionate about loving dogs, and I can't wait to meet yours! By default, walks will last 30 minutes and home visits will last 30 minutes as well. However, I am very flexible and will happily spend more time with your animals at your request. If you have a dachshund puppy, I would love to meet them - so much so that I will do the first 2 walks for free. No catch! As a student, I have very nice availability and can work around your schedule, and I am free during the work day most days if your dog needs a companion while you're at work. Unfortunately, my own apartment is animal-free so I am only able to do visits at your home or walks around the neighborhood. While I am with your dog, I will update you as frequently as you wish to be updated, including sending pictures of your dog or frequent check-ins. I am comfortable with dogs of all temperments, having cared for very shy and very aggressive dogs before. Please let me know if your dog has any special social needs. I will also committedly follow your dog's regular feeding schedule and methods. I am so excited to connect with you and your pup!
