Anna

Hi there!

My name is Anna. I am originally Russian/ German; about year and a half ago, I moved to Amsterdam from Ireland with work. I absolutely love dogs and wish I could have one, alas with the amount of travel I have to do related to my work, it would be highly unfair to the furry friend... So why not get the best of both worlds- help someone look after their pet and enjoy their company myself?!

The doggie in the pictures you see is Bailey. She was (well still is) my housemates' dog in Ireland. I lived with her 2.5 years and in that time we've quite bonded. I do get to see her everytime I am back in Ireland. She was a rescue pup, coming from an abusive household- so when I met her, she was very shy and didn't like strangers much. However, that did not pose any difficulties in us becoming friends. We would regularly go on long walks/hikes (5-15km) to the mountains, beach, etc.

I've always grown up with dogs and cats around me. My grandparents had a Doberman/Rottweiler mix, then a pure Doberman and cats. My mom and I had Dachshunds and cats in the house when growing up as well. So finding a common language with the four-legged

furry friends has never been an issue for me.

I am open to walking all kinds of dogs, however, when it comes to hosting- my apartment would be too small for anything bigger than a collie. I am mobile by car and don't mind pets in the car either (obviously with seat covers).
