Hi! I’m Anna, a 19-year-old student living in Amsterdam who recently moved here from Italy. Back home, my life was centered around animals, and I miss having pet companions around! My deepest pet care experience comes from adopting my rescue dog Bosco four years ago. When he first arrived, he was terrified, refused to eat, and didn't trust anyone. Through steady routine, gentle positive reinforcement, and immense patience, we transformed his life. He now stays safely at home with my mom in Italy, as I wanted to protect him from the stress of a big move and a shared apartment setup. Additionally, I spent three years caring for my grandfather's senior dog, giving him the specialized care, extra attention, and slow-paced comfort an elderly pet requires. I’ve also regularly dog-sat for friends and neighbors, managing everything from active park play sessions to feeding and home care. What I Offer & My Setup Because I understand how unique each pet’s temperament is, I adapt my approach completely to your pet—whether they are high-energy, timid, senior, or anxious. Dog Walking (30–60 minutes): Tailored to your dog’s pace. High-energy dogs get stimulating exercise and park visits, while shy or older dogs enjoy calm, stress-free routes where they can sniff and explore safely. Drop-In Visits & House Sitting: Perfect for feeding, play, playtime, administering affection, or keeping anxious pets company in their familiar home environment. Pet Types: Experienced with dogs of all personalities (energetic, shy, reactive, or senior) as well as cats. Practical Details & Communication Home Environment: Due to living in a shared student apartment with roommates, I focus strictly on walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home to ensure your pet stays in a calm, stress-free environment. Availability: Flexible scheduling alongside my university classes, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Updates: I treat every pet like my own and promise clear communication, sending photo and video updates during every visit so you have total peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet for a casual Meet & Greet!
